Background: Applying a cooling treatment from outside the body is one way to lower fever in children. Midwives commonly perform a warm water compress in their care, but it is considered less effective. Thus, compress with aloe vera barbadensus miller is proposed in this study as an alternative treatment.Objective: To examine the effect of Aloe vera barbadensis miller compress in reducing body temperature in children with fever.Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pretest and posttest with control group design. Forty children were recruited, with twenty of them assigned in each group. Purposive sampling was performed to select the sample. A digital rectal thermometer was used to measure the temperature. Independent t- test and paired test were used for data analysis.Results: Findings showed that the aloe vera compress group showed a higher decrease of body temperature compared to the warm water compress group. The difference of body temperature after 20 minutes in the experiment group was 1.435 while in the control group was only 1.085. There were statistically significant differences in body temperature between the experiment and control group (p=0.013).Conclusion: Aloe vera barbadensis miller compress is an effective alternative therapy in reducing body temperature in children with fever. It is recommended for midwives to apply this intervention to reduce body temperature significantly.
Early initiation of breastfeeding is still difficult to implement because the mother's knowledge about early initiation of breastfeeding is still lacking. Whereas one of the factors that determine the mother's attitude towards early initiation of breastfeeding is because the mother has information about early initiation of breastfeeding. For this reason, the purpose of this study is the influence of knowledge on the mother's attitude to initiate early breastfeeding. The population in this study were all third-trimester pregnant women who visited the RB where the study was conducted and the sample was determined using simple random sampling. This research includes analytical research with a cross-sectional approach. The method used for data analysis using Chi-Square. The questionnaire is used as a tool that has been tested for validity and reliability. The results of this study, the majority of respondents have the characteristics of healthy reproductive age, secondary education and good knowledge have a positive attitude towards early initiation of breastfeeding. This study concludes that there is a relationship between age, education, and knowledge of mothers' attitudes in the early initiation of breastfeeding.
Labor pain is a subjective experience of physical sensations associated with uterine contractions, dilation, thinning cervix and fetal descent during labor. To resolve the pain of labor, it has been implemented in a nonpharmacological method which is endorphin massage, in understanding endorphin massage for pressing pain in the first stage, in an active phase of normal multiparous mothers' deliveries. This research aims to research endorphin massage's influence on suppressing pain during the active phase of normal labor of multiparous mothers. This study is quasi-experimental with a cross-sectional approach. The study population of all women giving birth administered the purposive sampling data capture techniques, and it was obtained 132 multiparous mothers with normal labor in the observation sheet. Data were examined by administering a T-test. The majority of the pain intensity in the first stage of active phase multiparous mothers with normal labor, before the breath relaxation, is severe, with up to 49% experiencing severe pain. The majority of the percentage of moderate pain in the first stage of active phase multiparous mothers with normal labor, after breath relaxation, is as high as 42%. Meanwhile, the pain intensity of the first stage in active phase multiparous mothers with normal labor, prior to endorphin massage, is as high as 73.3%. Pain intensity of the first stage in active phase multiparous mothers normal labor after endorphin massage, the majority of the percentage is moderate pain up to 53.3%. Statistical test results obtained p-value is 0.004 endorphin massage. In conclusion, there is an effect of breath relaxation on the intensity of pain during normal labor in multiparous mothers. Furthermore, researchers can do a combination of endorpine massage with other treatments to treat pain during the I active phase of labor and pain intensity checks can be done by testing cortisol levels.
Nyeri adalah hal yang fisiologis yang akan dihadapi oleh seorang ibu bersalin. Nyeri merupakan pengalaman sensorik yang. Penelitian yang diterbitkan oleh Journal of Physiotherapy membuktikan bahwa massage yang dilakukan selama 30 menit pada saat pembukaan serviks 4-5cm selama kontraksi rahim berlangsung dapat menurunkan intensitas nyeri. Begitu juga dengan penelitian yang diterbitkan oleh Pasific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine menjelaskan bahwa penggunan esensial oil secara inhalasi dapat merangsang pusat penciuman diotak (olfactory Bulb) dapat memberikan rasa nyaman. Tujuan penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi penurunan intensitas nyeri pada ibu bersalin yang diberikan perlakuan dan tidak diberikan perlakuan metode endorphine massage dan aromaterapi lemon. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan desain penelitian Eksperimen semu (Quasy Eksperimen) dengan rancangan yang digunakan adalah pretest-post test control group design. Teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu puprposive sample sebanyak 30 responden di BPM wilayah kerja Puskesmas Simalingkar yang terbagi menjadi 15 responden sebagai kelompok intervensi dan 15 responden sebagai kelompok kontrol Adapun hasil penelitian dari uji Mann-Whitney Test diperoleh p value sebesar 0,000 ≤ 0,05 yang berarti Ho ditolak yaitu: intensitas nyeri pada kelompok intervensi lebih menurun dibandingkan dengan intensitas nyeri pada kelompok kontrol. Sehingga tenaga kesehatan dapat memberikan kedua terapi ini dapat membantu ibu mengurangi rasa nyeri persalinan
