Abstract

Physical unpreparedness, manifestations of anxiety, and pain intensity often hinder labor progress, which in turn escalates the risk of invasive medical interventions. Non-pharmacological approaches, particularly through prenatal exercise activities and the use of birthing balls, are considered to have a positive contribution in optimizing labor mechanisms. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of prenatal exercise and birthing ball education on parameters of smooth labor processes in mothers. The methodology applied was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design approach. A total of 62 respondents were involved as samples distributed into the experimental group and the control group. The intervention group received treatment in the form of prenatal exercise and education on the use of birthing balls, while the control group only received standard midwifery care. Data were collected through observations using standardized instruments, which were then analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U statistical test. The analysis results showed a significant difference in the level of smooth labor between the intervention and control groups. Pregnant women who received prenatal exercise and birthing ball education tended to have smoother labors compared to those who did not receive these interventions. It can be concluded that the integration of prenatal exercise and birthing ball education has been proven effective in improving the smoothness of labor. This intervention can be implemented as a safe and beneficial non-pharmacological alternative within maternity nursing care. It is hoped that healthcare practitioners can integrate this program into antenatal care to optimize maternal preparedness for labor.

Abstract

Primary dysmenorrhea is highly prevalent among adolescent girls and often leads to significant functional impairment. Growing interest in complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) reflects a shift toward safer, accessible non-pharmacological options. However, research in this field remains fragmented, and no bibliometric analysis has mapped its global structure. This study aimed to analyze global research trends, scholarly productivity, collaborative networks, and emerging thematic structures related to complementary and alternative therapies for primary dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using PubMed-indexed publications from 2019–2024. Eligible English-language articles were analyzed using Biblioshiny (R Studio) to assess publication trends, key contributors, collaboration networks, and thematic evolution. A total of 293 documents from 171 journals were included, showing an annual growth rate of 9.86%. Research involved 2003 authors, with high collaboration rates and strong contributions from China, the United States, and the Netherlands. Thematic mapping identified movement-based therapeutic approaches particularly walking and functional recovery as dominant motor themes, reflecting emerging interest in physiological and rehabilitative dimensions of dysmenorrhea management. Research on CAM for primary dysmenorrhea among adolescents has expanded rapidly, with increasing global collaboration and evolving thematic complexity. Movement-based interventions and functional recovery frameworks represent key future directions, offering promising avenues for developing holistic and adolescent-centered menstrual pain management strategies.

This study used a descriptive exploratory approach. The sample size was 30 female students from Doko 3 Blitar Junior High School, taken by accidental sampling. The instrument used was a questionnaire to measure knowledge. The results showed that 20 (67%) respondents had sufficient knowledge, 6 (20%) respondents had good knowledge, and 4 (13%) had poor knowledge. After being provided with education, there was an increase in good knowledge in 27 respondents (90%) and sufficient knowledge in 3 respondents (10%).

Abstract

burden of mental health disorders and HIV-related stigma, which critically hinders adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has emerged as a promising evidence-based psychological intervention. However, its effectiveness across diverse populations and delivery formats in LMICs has not been adequately synthesized. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CBT on mental health and stigma reduction among PLWH in LMICs.  A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines for RCT articles published in Scopus, Science Direct, and PubMed databases between January 1, 2021, to April 9, 2026. The keywords used were “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy” AND “Mental Health OR Stigma” AND “People Living with HIV” OR “Randomized Controlled Trial.” Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool version 2 (RoB 2). Seven RCTs involving 1.786 participants from six LMICs in Africa and one in South Asia were included. All studies consistently reported clinically significant reductions in depressive symptoms and internalized stigma following CBT interventions, regardless of group, individual, or self-administered delivery format, and regardless of whether the intervention was delivered by a mental health specialist or a trained non-specialist. The risk of bias assessment indicated that one study had a low risk of bias, and six studies had some concerns. CBT is an effective, flexible, and scalable intervention for improving mental health and reducing stigma among PLWH in LMICs.
