BACKGROUND: To realize the optimal growth and development of the baby, ideally the mother should only give breast milk, from immediately after giving birth until the baby is 6 months old, which is commonly known as exclusive breastfeeding. However, the facts on the ground show that many mothers fail to give breast milk to their babies, so an effective solution is needed. AIM: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of peer counseling for postpartum mothers in order to increase the success of breastfeeding in the working area of Jenu Health Center, Tuban Regency, Indonesia. METHODS: This study was an experimental study that applied a static group comparison design. The research subjects were 18 postpartum mothers who were selected by simple random sampling technique, then divided into a treatment group that received peer counseling and a control group, each consisting of 9 postpartum mothers. For both groups, breastfeeding success was measured by means of observation. Furthermore, the difference in breastfeeding success between the two groups was tested using an independent sample t-test. RESULTS: The results of data analysis showed that the mean of successful breastfeeding in the treatment group was higher (77.31%), while the control group was lower (72.22%). The results of the independent sample t-test showed t = 3.731082, with p value = 0.00278070, so it could be interpreted that there was a significant difference in breastfeeding success between postpartum mothers who received and did not receive peer counseling. CONCLUSION: Furthermore, it can be concluded that peer counseling is effective in increasing the success of breastfeeding by postpartum mothers in the working area of Jenu Health Center, Tuban Regency.
Anxiety is an individual mental or psychological state that brings up feelings like worry, fear, anxiety, confusion, and others. One of the treatments for those problems is five-finger relaxation. This study aims to determine the effect of five-finger relaxation on the anxiety level of primigravida mothers during the third trimester at the Tuban Public Health Center’s working area. The methods used Pre-experimental (static-group comparison design) and a cross-sectional study approach were used as the study’s method. The sampling technique used a simple random sampling with 36 primigravida mothers as the sample. SOP and questionnaires sheets were used as the instruments. Paired sample T-test was used to analyze the data. The study results showed a decrease in anxiety levels in third-trimester primigravida mothers in the experimental group after being given five-finger relaxation therapy with 1 treatment during the study. Five-finger relaxation is effective in non-pharmacological treatment. So it can be concluded that there is a difference in the level of anxiety of third-trimester primigravida mothers in the experimental group and the control group
