Perineal massage is one of the way to reduce maternal morbidity and reduce the risk of bleeding caused by laceration of the perineum. Not only Virgin Olive Oil, but also Virgin Coconut Oil becomes the alternative thing that easily absorbed by the skin. This study aims to examine the effect of Virgin Coconut Oil and Virgin Olive Oil on perineal massage on the degree of perineal laceration. This research was Quasi experimental designs, with the subjects were pregnant women with gestational age ≥34-35 weeks. The data used the Mann-Whitney test and tested 2 proportions to assess the effectiveness of the essential oils used. The result showed that there was influence of perineal massage with perineal laceration (p <0,05). Therefore, there is influence of VCO and VOO on perineal massage against the perineal laceration event. Further research is needed to assess the determinants of perineal laceration with different variables or interventions.
Safe and satisfied parturition are influenced by anxiety suffered by mothers during maternity. Anxiety and pain during maternity cause stress responses. It increases catecholamine causing vasoconstriction which influences to womb contraction, pain, and parturition length. Multi-sensory stimuli are identified to be able in decreasing anxiety and facilitating maternal physiology. Multi-sensory stimuli are stimuli interventions on several human senses which are able to be responded by brain. It fosters influential perceptions to behaviors and emotions so it has indirect potency to parturition process. This research aims to analyze multi-sensory stimulus on maternity to parturition. This quasi-experimental research used nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 60 people. The bivariable analysis design used Mann Whitney test and non-paired T-test. Two proportion test assisted by SPSS was used to find out the influence strength. The results showed that there was an influence of Multi-sensory stimulus to pain and length of parturition. The average of the pain during 6-8 aperture was on scale 7 (SD=1.73) meanwhile on control group it was on scale 8 (SD=1.7). The average of the parturition was 331.67 (SD=97.001) while the control group was 400.00 minutes (SD=163.87). It is important for midwifery to explore various non-pharmacological effort to support parturition process and outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
