Background: Dysminorrhea will get worse if accompanied by an unstable psychological condition. One of the causes of dysmenorrhea is hormonal factors where there is a hormonal imbalance. Pain during menstruation occurs due to high levels of prostaglandin hormones that make the uterine muscles contract. In Indonesia, the incidence of type dysmenorrhea primary is about 54.89% while the rest sufferers with secondary dysmenorrhea. Non-pharmacological therapy for dysmenorrhea is highly recommended, one of which are dark chocolate and carrots.Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of the combination of dark chocholate and carrots in reducing the intensity of dysminorrhea.Methods: This type of research uses a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-post-test control group design with a sample of 28 respondents experiencing primary dysmenorrhea. Pain intensity was measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data collection was carried out during the pre-test, namely during menstruation in the first cycle and post-test data collection was carried out in the second cycle or after 30 days of treatment and assessed on the 31st day or the first menstruation in the following month. The statistical test used is Paired sample t-test.Results: The administration of dark chocholate, carrots and a combination of the two was able to reduce the intensity of primary dysminorrhea with a glossy p-value ≤ 0.05.Conclusion: Consumption of dark chocholate, carrots and a combination of both can reduce the intensity of primary dysmenorrhea. Suggestion for adolescents with primary dysmenorrhea to use non-pharmacologic therapy to reduce pain intensity such as carrots and dark chocholate in order to avoid the side effects of pharmacological drugs. Further research is needed in vitro on the mechanism of the combination of carrots and dark chocholate in reducing the intensity of dysmenorrhea Keywords : Dark Chocholate, Carrot, Dysminorea Intensity, adolescents ABSTRAK Latar Belakang : Disminorea akan bertambah parah apabila disertai dengan kondisi psikis yang labil. Salah satu penyebab dismenorea adalah faktor hormonal dimana adanya ketidakseimbangan hormonal. Nyeri ketika menstruasi tersebut timbul akibat tingginya hormon prostaglandin yang membuat otot rahim berkontraksi. Di Indonesia angka kejadian dismenorea tipe primer adalah sekitar 54,89% sedangkan sisanya penderita dengan dismenorea sekunder. Terapi disminorea secara non farmakologi sangat diabjurkan salahs satunya adalah dark chocholate dan wortel.Tujuan Penelitian : Untuk mengetahui efektivitas kombinasi dark chocholate dan wortel dalam menurunkan intensitas disminorea.Metode Penelitian : Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan quasi eksperiment dengan desain pretest- post test control group design dengan sampel adalah responden yang mengalami disminorea primer sebanyak 28 orang. Intensitas nyeri diukur dengan Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Pengambilan data dilakukan pada saat pre-test yaitu saat haid pada siklus pertama dan pengambilan data post-test dilakukan pada siklus kedua atau saat setelah dilakukannya perlakuan selama 30 hari dan dinilai pada hari ke 31 atau pertama haid di bulan berikutnya. Uji statistik yang digunakan adalah Paired sample t-tes.Hasil Penelitian : Pemberian dark chocholate, wortel dan kombinasi keduanya mampu menurunkan intensitas disminorea primer dengan nilap p-value ≤ 0,05.Kesimpulan : Pemberian dark chocholate, wortel dan kombinasi keduanya mampu menurunkan intensitas disminorea primer.Sarankan pada remaja yang mengalami disminorea primer untuk menggunakan terapi non faramakologis untuk mengurangi intensitas nyeri seperti wortel dan dark chocholate agar terhindar dari efek samping obat-obatan farmakologi. Diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut secara in vitro tentang mekanisme kombinasi wortel dan dark chocholate dalam menurunkan intensitas disminorea.

Background: The inability to meet breast milk production can be prevented in various ways, one of which is breast massage. The breast massage technique, at a certain point, is able to remove the blockage of blood vessels and energy blockages so that it will facilitate milk production. This study aims to determine the potential of breast massage (oxytocin massage, oketani massage, and marmet massage) to smooth breast milk from the aspect of the baby's sleep frequency. Methods: Study design method experimental with the control group. Samples were Primiparous postpartum mothers who gave birth normally and were divided into three groups, namely oxytocin massage intervention group, marmet massage, oketani massage, and control group. Data were analyzed in univariate, bivariate, and multivariate. Results: Breast massage (oxytocin, marmet and oketani) in primiparous postpartum mothers was effective in increasing the frequency of baby’s sleep. The frequency of the baby’s sleep before Marmet massage was 3.29 hours, and after Marmet massage was 5.29 hours. In the oxytocin massage intervention group, it was known that the average sleep frequency of babies before breast massage was 2.00 hours, and after breast, massage was 3.00 hours. Furthermore, in the Oketani massage intervention group, it was found that the average frequency of the baby’s sleep before breast massage was 2.00 hours, and after breast, massage was 3.00 hours. In the control group, it is known that the average sleep frequency of babies before breast massage is 0.57 hours and after breast massage is 0.71 hours. Conclusion: Oxytocin massage, marmet massage, and oketani massage have been shown to be effective in improving the smoothness of breast milk from the aspect of the baby's sleep frequency.
Anemia is the biggest public health problem in the world, especially for the reproductive age group. The World Health Organization (WHO), which estimates that 40% of the causes of maternal death in developing countries are related to anemia due to iron deficiency infection. Based on the results of the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2018, the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia in 2018 was 37.1%, at the Kuala Simpang City Health Center, namely pregnant women in 2018 as many as 338 people. This study aims to determine the relationship between chronic energy deficiency and adherence to consuming Fe tablets with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. The design of this study used an analytic type with a cross sectional design. This study uses primary data that is processed univariately. The data are presented in the form of frequency distribution tables, cross tables and narratives. The instrument used in this research is a questionnaire which was developed based on the research variables. The number of samples in this study were 56 respondents using the Proportional Stratified Random Sampling technique. The results of this study showed that the majority did not experience anemia as many as 31 (55.4%) respondents. This study concludes that there is a relationship between chronic energy deficiency p-value 0.000 (p<0.05) and adherence to taking tablets with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05) with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. Pregnant women must apply a good diet during pregnancy so that nutrients and nutritional needs during pregnancy can be met and regularly consume Fe tablets.
BACKGROUND: The human body needs antioxidants that can help protect the body from free radical attacks by reducing the negative impact of these compounds. Antioxidants function to overcome or neutralize free radicals so that it is hoped that by giving these antioxidants, the aging process is inhibited or at least slowed down and can prevent damage to the body from the emergence of degenerative diseases. AIM: The aim is to prove whether giving Takokak fruit ethanol extract, and nano-simplicia reduces blood cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic mice. METHODS: This research design is experimental with the randomized post-test-only control group approach. The benefits of Takokak as alternative medicine in preventing hypercholesterolemia by consuming Takokak fruit can be a daily food menu. RESULTS: The administration of nano Takokak fruit reduced cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels in mice. Administration of nano is very effective at a dose of 450 mg. At the same time, the ethanol extract of Takokak fruit gave a significant difference in reducing cholesterol and LDL levels at a dose of 900 mg/kg BW and increasing HDL at a dose of 450 mg/kg BW. CONCLUSION: Giving ethanol extract and nano-simplicia Takokak fruit are effective in lowering cholesterol.
