Menstrual pain is a condition that bothers most women regardless of age, with the highest percentage being in their teens. Menstrual pain is categorized into mild, moderate, severe and very severe pain. Women who experience menstrual pain can interfere with their activities ranging from daily activities, school to work. One way to reduce menstrual pain non-pharmacologically is to use acupressure. This study aimed to determine the effect of acupressure on menstrual pain in adolescents. This was a literature Review with Systematic Mapping Study (Scoping Study) design. This study used journals published in the last 5 years. The ten journals used were obtained from the Google Schoolar, PubMed and Sciencedirect databases. The journals obtained had passed the selection based on the year of publication, the suitability of the title with keywords, the feasibility of the journal, the ability to access, duplication and inclusion criteria. The journal was then analyzed using the instrument of presenting the results of a literature review. The most widely used acupressure point was sanyinjiao (Sp 6) by pressing or massaging. The intensity of menstrual pain after being given acupressure was decreased, the average pain intensity decreased between before and after being given acupressure starting from a scale of 0.86 to 6.7. The results of the analysis of all journals show P value < a, which meant that there was a significant effect of giving acupressure on decreasing the intensity of menstrual pain in adolescents. Giving acupressure by pressing or massaging certain meridians can increase the levels of endorphins that are useful for reducing the intensity of menstrual pain in adolescents. Education about proper massage techniques will help reduce the level of pain that occurs during menstruation.
Pregnancy is a physiological process, however, a normal pregnancy can develop into pathology. WHO estimates that 15% of pregnant women develop complications. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that can harm the mother and the baby. Gestational weight gain during pregnancy can result from overweight or pregnancy obesity, which is a risk factor of preeclampsia. The goal of this literature review is to determine the correlation between gestational weight gain and the risk of preeclampsia. This research methodology employed a Systematic Mapping Study, in which the article is selected based on the protocols and filters determined at the outset. The articles were investigated between 2016 and 2020 using the Google Scholar, PubMed, and DOAJ databases. The total population of 311 research articles and 7 sample articles describe the correlation between gestational weight gain and the risk of preeclampsia. 57% of 7 articles indicated that pregnant women had excessive weight gain, 71% of 7 articles indicated that women with preeclampsia have gestational weight gain and 43% of 7 articles indicated that there is a correlation between gestational weight gain and the risk of preeclampsia. Midwives are expected to improve the quality of antenatal care services to prevent preeclampsia by providing preeclampsia information and education, as well as screening for early detection.
The length of time that the cord is removed will allow infection which is the cause of death. WHO recommends treatment based on aseptic principles, but there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine use of topical antimicrobials for treatment. The incidence of tetanus neonatorum due to umbilical cord infection continues to increase and is at risk of causing death. Several studies have shown that breast milk is an alternative material for cord care because it is sterile, contains antiinflammatory and anti-infective properties. This study aims to determine the effect of the topical amount of breast milk on the duration of release. The research design used a quasi-experiment with a cohort approach. The sample in this study was 43 babies who were selected using consecutivesampling. Samples were divided into 3 treatment groups, namely newborns who met the inclusion criteria were given 5 drops, 7 drops, and 10 drops of breast milk to observe the duration of wound healing. Data collection using the observation sheet. The results showed the fastest wound healing time was given 5 drops of breast milk for 164,931 hours (164 hours 56 minutes), 10 drops for 170,173hours (170 hours 10 minutes), and 7 drops for 171,807 hours (171 hours 48 minutes). The results of the analysis using one-way ANOVA showed that the treatment of topical breastfeeding had no significant effect on the length of healing of cord wounds (F-count 0.393 with p-value 0.678). Topical breastfeeding responds differently to the healing of the baby's cord wound. Keywords: breast milk, length of umbilical cord release
Stretchmark merupakan atrofi kulit yang disebabkan oleh peregangan dari kulit yang berlebihan yang berada didaerah sekitar perut, paha, pantat, dan payudara, menyebabkan rasa gatal, panas, kering, dan gangguan emosional, kondisi ini hanya dialami orang yang kulitnya mengandung sedikit kolagen atau protein. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis perubahan stretchmark sebelum dan sesudah pemberian campuran ampas kopi dan olive oil pada ibu post partum kurang dari 14 hari. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan pra-eksperimen (pre experimental design) dengan metode one-grup pra-post test design, dengan populasi 20 responden. Teknik sampling Probability Sampling yaitu Simple Random Sampling dengan cara lotre dengan sampel sebanyak 19 responden yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan lembar observasi didapatkan hasil perubahan stretchmark berubah kearah baik atau positif (73,68%), Tetap (26,32%), dan berubah kearah negative (0). Kemudian dianalisis dengan uji Wilcoxon, menunjukkan p=0,003 (α < 0,05), sehingga terdapat perubahan stretchmark yang signifikan pada ibu post partum kurang dari 14 hari. Metode dengan terapi campuran ampas kopi dan olive oil ini merupakan salah satu alternatif alami untuk menghilangkan stretchmark.
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.
