Young women are more at risk of suffering from anemia due to menstruation so they need more iron than young men. The problem is teenage girls do not want to take Fe tablets, so they need alternatives to increase hemoglobin such as consuming chicken eggs. Chicken eggs contain various vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A and iron which are good enough to prevent anemia. This study aims to determine the effect of chicken egg consumption on increasing hemoglobin levels in young women at SMAN 3 Siak Hulu. Pre-experimental research design with one group pretest postest design. This research was implemented from January-August 2020. Samples were taken by simple random sampling technique of 14 respondents. The research instrument is observation sheet and Hb sahli. Data were analyzed using Dependent T test. The Hemoglobin level before consumption of chicken eggs is <12 gr / dl as much as 85.7%. After consumption of chicken eggs the hemoglobin level is ≥ 12 gr / dl as much as 57.1%. The average pretest Hb was 11,464 gr / dl (SD = 0.5444 gr / dl) and posttest Hb 12,307 gr / dl (SD = 0.6330 gr / dl). Dependent T test results showed that the influence of chicken egg consumption on increased hemoglobin levels in young women at SMAN 3 Siak Hulu (ρ = 0,000) <0.05. It is recommended for young women to consume one egg boiled eggs every day as an effort to prevent anemia in adolescents, especially teenagers who do not want to take blood-added tablets.
Breastfeeding is the optimal way to meet nutritional needs for infant growth, and is an ideal source of nutrition containing antibody substances to protect babies from various infections, viruses and fungi. Many failures in breastfeeding are caused by several factors, one of which is lack of breast milk production, maternal psychology and nutritional factors. Thus, it requires a method of knowledge about supporting techniques to facilitate breastfeeding in postpartum mothers. One of alternatives to facilitate breastfeeding is to do breast care using a method of combining neck massage and pectoralis major muscle massage. This study to determine the effect of combination of neck and pectoralis major muscle massage on the production of breast milk in postpartum mothers 1-3 days conducted at the Mandah Community Health Center. This Quasy experimental study used pre test and post design with control group. The population was all postpartum mothers at Mandah Community Health Center with a sample size of 20 taken by purposive sampling technique. The instrument was an observation on breast milk production. Data analysis using Mann Whitney testwith ap value of 0.003 <α 0.05, meaning that there was the effect of neck massage and pectoralis major muscle massage on the production of breast milk. There was the effect of the combination of neck massage and pectoralis major muscle massage on the production of breast milk in postpartum mothers 1-3 days. Midwives are expected to be able to disseminate and apply the combination method of neck massage and pectoralis major muscle massage as an alternative option to facilitate breastfeeding for postpartum mothers 1-3 days.
Mostly pregnant women suffered back pain. Based on a preliminary studies conducted by researcher in the Tarai Bangun, 15 pregnant women in third trimester said that they had back pain. Back pain can be overcome, one of which is by doing an endorphin massage that can make the mother relax and reduce the pain felt. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of endorphin massage on back pain in pregnant women. The study design used was Quasy Experiment with a non-equivalent control group design which it divided into an experimental group and a control group. The sample was 34 respondents using purposive sampling technique. The measuring instrument used in both groups was the Numeric Rating Scale pain scale. Data analysis used dependent t test and independent t test. The results showed that there were differences in back pain scores before and after endorphin massage in the experimental group, so it can be concluded that endorphin massage is effective against back pain in pregnant women with a p value of 0.001 (p <0.05). The results of this study can be used as a reference to using endorphin massage as a way to deal with complaints of back pain in pregnant women.
