Abstract

Discomfort during pregnancy is a common experience resulting from physical, physiological, and psychological changes, yet it is often not well understood by pregnant women. Limited knowledge about normal bodily changes and pregnancy-related discomfort can reduce maternal comfort and increase anxiety. Counseling serves as an important educational strategy to improve pregnant women’s understanding, particularly within antenatal care services at primary health care facilities. This study aimed to examine the effect of counseling on pregnancy discomfort in improving mothers’ knowledge about changes during pregnancy. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The sample consisted of 50 pregnant women selected using a total sampling technique. Mothers’ knowledge levels were assessed before and after the counseling intervention using a structured questionnaire. Data analysis included univariate analysis to describe the distribution of knowledge levels and bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to evaluate differences before and after the intervention. The findings demonstrated a notable increase in knowledge following counseling, indicated by a shift from predominantly poor and moderate knowledge levels in the pretest to good knowledge in the posttest. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest results (p < 0.05). In conclusion, counseling significantly improves pregnant women’s knowledge regarding pregnancy-related changes and discomfort.

Abstract

The active phase of labor is a crucial stage that determines the progress and success of the delivery process. Prolonged labor during this phase can increase the risk of maternal complications and reduce the comfort of the laboring mother. Various non-pharmacological interventions have been developed to support the physiological progress of labor, including acupressure at the SP6 point and oxytocin massage. This study aims to analyze the differences in the effects of SP6 acupressure and oxytocin massage on the duration of the active phase of labor at the Galala Health Center in the Tidore Islands. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a comparative approach in two intervention groups. The sample consisted of 40 mothers in the first stage of active labor who met the inclusion criteria, with 20 respondents in the SP6 acupressure group and 20 respondents in the oxytocin massage group. The duration of the first stage of labor was calculated from 4 cm cervical dilation to complete 10 cm dilation and recorded using a partograph. Data were analyzed univariately to describe the distribution of labor duration and bivariately using the Mann–Whitney U test to assess the difference between the two groups. The results showed that the median duration of the first stage of labor in the SP6 acupressure group was shorter than in the oxytocin massage group. The Mann–Whitney test showed a statistically significant difference between the two intervention groups (p < 0.05). The conclusion of this study indicates that SP6 acupressure is more effective than oxytocin massage in shortening the duration of the first stage of active labor. These findings support the use of SP6 acupressure as a safe and effective nonpharmacological intervention in intrapartum midwifery care in primary health care facilities.

Abstract

Breast milk production during the postpartum period is a crucial factor in successful breastfeeding and achieving exclusive breastfeeding. However, during the early postpartum period, many postpartum mothers experience difficulties in breast milk production, influenced by physical and psychological conditions. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be used to help facilitate breast milk production is oxytocin massage, which aims to stimulate the release of the hormone oxytocin and increase the let-down reflex. This study aims to analyze the effect of oxytocin massage on breast milk production in postpartum mothers at the Marisa Community Health Center. This study used a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 30 postpartum mothers selected using purposive sampling according to the inclusion criteria. Breast milk production was measured before and after the oxytocin massage intervention using a structured observation sheet with units of milliliters (ml). Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods. Normality was tested using the Shapiro–Wilk test, while differences were tested using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that the average milk output before oxytocin massage was 18.00 ± 5.95 ml, and increased to 51.83 ± 10.94 ml after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of oxytocin massage on increasing breast milk output. It was concluded that oxytocin massage is effective as a non-pharmacological intervention to increase breast milk production in postpartum mothers and can be integrated into postpartum care in primary health care services.

Abstract

Menstrual cycle disturbances are common side effects of injectable hormonal contraception and may affect contraceptive satisfaction and continuation. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the duration of injectable contraceptive use and menstrual cycle disturbances among injectable contraceptive acceptors. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at TPMB Maya from September to October 2025. A total of 67 injectable contraceptive users were included using a total sampling technique. The independent variable was the duration of injectable contraceptive use, categorized as less than one year and more than one year, while the dependent variable was menstrual cycle disturbance. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through univariate analysis and Kendall’s tau-b correlation test. The results showed that most respondents were aged 20–35 years (86.6%), had a senior high school education (55.2%), and were multiparous (77.6%). Most respondents had used injectable contraception for more than one year (82.1%), and 74.6% experienced menstrual cycle disturbances. Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between the duration of injectable contraceptive use and menstrual cycle disturbances (τ = −0.264; p = 0.032). The study concludes that longer use of injectable contraception is associated with a higher occurrence of menstrual cycle disturbances, emphasizing the importance of duration-based counseling in family planning services.

Abstract

Anxiety is a common psychological response experienced by contraceptive users, particularly among implant acceptors. Feelings of anxiety may arise due to hormonal changes, fear of side effects, and unpleasant experiences during contraceptive insertion. Aromatherapy using lavender essential oil has been shown to produce a calming effect through the activation of the limbic system and regulation of neurotransmitters, making it a potential method for reducing anxiety. This study aimed to determine the effect of lavender essential oil therapy on reducing anxiety among contraceptive implant acceptors at Tiley Health Center. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach was employed. A total of 30 respondents were randomly divided into treatment and control groups. The treatment group received inhalation of lavender essential oil for 10 minutes daily over three consecutive days, while the control group received no intervention. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). The results indicated a significant reduction in anxiety scores in the treatment group before and after the intervention (p < 0.001), while the control group showed no meaningful difference (p > 0.05). These findings demonstrate that lavender essential oil aromatherapy is effective in reducing anxiety among implant contraceptive acceptors. This non-pharmacological therapy can be recommended as an easy, affordable, and safe complementary intervention in midwifery care services.

Abstract

Long-acting contraceptive methods (LACMs/MKJP) are effective family planning options for controlling fertility and improving maternal health. However, the utilization of LACMs among women of reproductive age remains relatively low, which may be influenced by their level of knowledge. This study aimed to examine the relationship between women’s knowledge levels and the utilization of long-acting contraceptive methods in the working area of UPT Puskesmas Basarang. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 58 women of reproductive age selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to assess knowledge levels and contraceptive use, and analyzed using the Kendall’s tau-b correlation test. The results showed that more than half of respondents had good knowledge of LACMs, yet only 39.7% reported using these methods. Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between knowledge level and LACM utilization (p = 0.012). The study concludes that knowledge is significantly associated with the use of long-acting contraceptive methods, although other factors may also influence decision-making. Strengthening education and counseling interventions is essential to improve informed contraceptive choices and increase the utilization of long-acting contraceptive methods.
