Background: Self-reported maternal mood symptoms during pregnancy have been related to poor birth outcomes, including low birth weight, increased risk of premature delivery, and preeclampsia in the mother. A non-pharmacology method is needed to overcome mood symptoms such as anxiety during pregnancy.Purpose: This research aimed to evaluate the effect of yoga relaxation on anxiety levels among pregnant women at third trimester.Methods: A quasy experimental design has been conducted with using 30 pregnant women at third trimester who were equally divided into two group (experimental and control). The levels of anxiety were measured using Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistic.Results: The results showed that there was a difference of anxiety levels before and after intervention within experiment group (t= 7.56, p= .005) and there was a difference of anxiety levels after the intervention between experiment and control group (t=-9.289, p= .005).Conclusion: Yoga relaxation has an effect on reducing anxiety levels among pregnant women at third trimester. It is expected that pregnant women more digging knowledge on how to deal with the anxiety disorder as practice the yoga relaxation during pregnancy.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) in cesarean section (CS) is a major cause of prolonged hospital stay and resource consumption, and causes morbidity and mortality for the mother and the baby.Purpose: This literature review aimed to assess and identify risk factors, interventions, and prevention strategies of SSI for women post CS especially the obese women.Methods: An integrative literature review was conducted by employing the databases of PubMed, ProQuest, Science Direct, Wiley online library, and Google scholar from 1999 to 2015. This review identified the studies conducted either in women post-CS or obese women post CS.Results: A total of 58 articles were found, and 14 articles met the criteria. The risk factors of CS-SSI were classified into extrinsic and intrinsic factors. The intrinsic factors include limited mobility, poor nutrition, and comorbidity (diabetes) while the extrinsic factors include surgical technique, skin closure methods, prophylactic antibiotic, and the use of drains. Poor nutrition, diabetes, and limited mobility were the common factors found in obese women undergoing CS. Maintaining nutritional status and controlling blood glucose were proposed to prevent CS-SSI among obese women post-CS.Conclusions: Nurses should have adequate knowledge about the risk factors of CS-SSI to assess the risk factors of CS-SSI especially in obese women. The intervention of CS-SSI might need a bundle of interventions which consist of pre-operative and post-operative prevention strategies.

The prevalence of maternity women with perineal injuries in Indonesia in the 25-30 year age group waa 24%, while the 32-39 year old was 62%.

Anemia is a form of the body's compensation mechanism for decreasing hemoglobin levels. Anemia in pregnancy is a condition in which hemoglobin is below normal, which is below 11 g/dl. The most common cause of anemia in pregnancy is iron deficiency. Moringa leaves are one type of food that is rich in iron which can overcome anemia. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of giving Moringa leaf soup on hemoglobin levels of pregnant women in the third trimester at the Oepoi Health Center, Kupang City in 2021. Quasy Experimental research design with a two group pre-test and post-test design. The study population was all pregnant women. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The sample was 32 pregnant women. Statistical test using t-test. The location of this research was carried out at the Oepoi Health Center, Kupang City from July to August 2021. The research instrument was observation sheet and Hb measuring instrument. The results showed that the average hemoglobin of pregnant women before the intervention in the experimental group was 9.813 g/dl with a standard deviation of 0.57. The hemoglobin level of pregnant women after being given Moringa leaf soup in the experimental group was 11.494 g/dl with a standard deviation of 1.24. The average hemoglobin in pregnant women before intervention in the control group was 9.825 g/dl with a standard deviation of 0.61. The average hemoglobin in pregnant women after the intervention in the control group was 9.675 g/dl with a standard deviation of 1.28. Analysis using the t-test obtained a significance value of 0.000 <0.05. It can be concluded that there was a significant effect between giving Moringa leaf soup on hemoglobin levels in TM III pregnant women. It is hoped that in addition to consuming Fe tablets, it is also recommended to consume foods high in iron such as Moringa leaves to increase hemoglobin in pregnant women.

Based on data in Indonesia, the comparison of the incidence of nausea and vomiting leading to pathological or hyperemesis gravidarum is 4: 1000 pregnancies. It is estimated that 50% to 80% of pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting and approximately 5% of pregnant women require treatment for fluid replacement and correction of electrolyte imbalances. The occurrence of pregnancy causes hormonal changes in women because there is an increase in the hormones estrogen, progesterone, and the release of the placental chorionic gonadothropine (HCG) hormone. This study aimed to determine the effect of ginger decoction on the frequency of emesis gravidarum in the first trimester. The design used was a quasi-experimental design. The location of this study was carried out at PMB R. Agustina on July 29, 2021 to August 8, 2021. In this study, the number of samples taken by pregnant women who were experiencing emesis gravidarum were 15 experimental groups and 15 total control groups 30. Independent variable was the ginger decoction, and dependent Variable was emesis gravidarum in first trimester among pregnant women. Research instruments can be in the form of a questionnaire (a list of questions), an observation form. Using the Mann Whitney Test. The results showed that the emesis gravidarum before being given ginger boiled water was 9.07 after being given ginger boiled water was 5.27, it was known that the emesis gravidarum before the control was 8.20 after the control was 6.47. There was an Effect of Giving Ginger decoction on Emesis Gravidarum in Pregnant Women TM 1 (p-value 0.001). It is hoped that it can increase public knowledge and is expected to be useful for respondents in knowing about the effect of ginger drink on reducing the frequency of emesis gravidarium in first trimester pregnant women.

Pemberian ASI yang tidak optimal menyebabkan terhambatnya tumbuh kembang bayi dan salah satu faktor yang memicu terjadinya stres pada ibu menyusui. Salah satu solusi untuk menangani hal tersebut yaitu dengan mengonsumsi daun papaya yang mengandung laktagogum sehingga bermanfaat untuk membantu kelancaran pengeluaran ASI. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian tumis daun pepaya terhadap produksi ASI pada ibu menyusui. Desain penelitian yang digunakan yaitu quasi-eksperiment dua kelompok (sebelum dan setelah perlakuan). Penelitian ini dilakukan di Klinik Permata Hati melibatkan tigapuluh ibu menyusui yang dibagi ke dalam dua kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol. Pengujian yang dilakukan yaitu uji normalitas (Saphiro-wilk), analisis deskriptif nonparametric (Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test) dan uji distribusi frekuensi terhadap data yang diperoleh. Terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan (p=0,000) terhadap perlakuan sebelum dan sesudah diberikan tumis daun papaya terhadap produksi ASI yang dihasilkan oleh ibu menyusui, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian tumis daun pepaya dapat meningkatkan produksi ASI pada ibu menyusui. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi dasar usulan agar para bidan dapat memberikan edukasi bagi ibu menyusui mengenai manfaat tumis daun pepaya dan cara pengolahannya untuk meningkatkan kelancaran produksi ASI.
