Purpose: Hand-foot bathing therapy is a simple technique to induce sensations of comfort and relaxation. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of hand and foot bathing therapy on vital signs in women following caesarean section. Methods: Participants were sixty women with caesarean section. They divided to two groups: (1) study group (n=30, median age=26.67 years, SD=2.04); and, (2) control group (n=30, median age=27.75 years, SD=1.09). Vital signs were measured for 5 minutes before and for 30 minutes after the hand and foot bathing therapy. Results: Pain score, systolic and diastolic blood pressures and heart and breath rates decreased after hand and foot bathing therapy. Differences between before and after therapy were statistically significantly. Conclusions: These results indicate that hand and foot bathing therapy might be helpful to restore the vital signs in post-operative patients by decreasing anxiety and psychological stress.
Purpose: Foot bathing therapy is a simple technique that induces sensations of comfort and relaxation. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of foot bathing therapy on heart rate variability (HRV) parameters in a healthy population.Methods: Participants were twenty healthy female subjects (median age=20.67 years, SD=1.04). The recording ECG was applied for 5 minutes before and for 5 minutes after foot bathing therapy of 10 minutes. Subjects rested for 10 minutes without recording ECG in order to stabilize autonomic parameters. The digital signals were then transferred to a laptop and analyzed using LabChart® software (MLS310/7 HRV Module).Results: Almost all HRV parameters increased and heart (pulse) rate and LF/HF ratio decreased after foot bathing therapy compared with before foot bathing therapy. Conclusions:These results indicate for the first time in humans that foot bathing might induce a state of balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic systems and might be helpful to prevent possible cardiac arrhythmias.SUPPLEMENT
<p><em>In Indonesia, prolonged delivery is one of the cause of Maternal Mortality. The prolonged delivery which occurs in the latent phase is also called prolonged latent phase, a labor which lasts over eight hours of labor in primigravida. This research was started by the society’s custom of consuming fruits that are beneficial to smooth a labor process, consuming pineapples. Pineapples contain high amounts of vitamin C, sugar, vitamin A, a number of minerals, and an enzyme called bromelain. Bromelain is an enzyme that stimulates the production of prostaglandin. The increased prostaglandin causes contractions in the uterine muscle so that labor occurs. This study aims to determine the effect of pineapple juice towards the duration of the first stage of the latent phase. The method of this research was quasi experimental. The study was conducted in July to September 2018 at Ciruas Public Health Center, Serang, Banten. The sample in this study was 80 mothers in latent phase. Sampling was taken by using consecutive sampling technique. The analysis of timing differences in umbilical cord detachment was tested by using the Mann Whitney statistical test. The result shows that the average length of time in the first stage of the latent phase in the intervention group was 91,53 minutes, which was 57,75 minutes faster compared to the control group’s length of time, 149,28 minutes. There was a significant difference in the group given pineapple juice with those who were not given pineapple juice with p value 0,002 (α <0,05). Giving pineapple juice can accelerate the duration of the stage I latent phase in primigravida because pineapples contain an enzyme called bromelain and serotonin. The consumption of pineapple can be a solution for nutrients consumed when labor started at the first stage of latent phase and make the time period of the latent phase shorter and reduce the risk of intervention during labor.</em><em></em></p>
Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM) terutama penyakit jantung, kanker, penyakit pernapasan kronis dan diabetes adalah pembunuh terbesar didunia dengan 35 juta kematian setiap tahun dan merupakan penyebab dari sekitar 60% kematian global. Hasil Riskesdas 2018 menunjukkan prevalensi penyakit tidak menular mengalami kenaikan jika dibandingkan dengan Riskesdas 2013, antara lain kanker, stroke, penyakit ginjal kronis, diabetes melitus, dan hipertensi. Prevalensi kanker berdasarkan diagnosis dokter naik dari 1,4 permil (2013) menjadi 1,8 pemil (2018), lebih tinggi pada perempuan (2,9 permil) dibandingkan pada laki-laki (0,7 permil) (Kemenkes RI, 2019b). Prevalensi hipertensi berdasarkan diagnosis dokter atau minum obat anti hipertensi pada penduduk umur ≥18 Tahun menurut Provinsi, Jawa Barat 9.67% dan 9.97% di atas angka nasional 8.36 % dan 8.84% (Kemenkes RI, 2019b). Berdasarkan hasil pendatan yang dilakukan pada kegiatan Pengalaman Belajar Lapangan (PBL) di Desa Mekarmanik Kecamatan Cimenyan Kabupaten Bandung, ditemukan permasalahan yaitu cukup tingginya angka kejadian hipertensi. Selain itu jumlah kader terlatih sebagai ujung tombak upaya skrining PTM masih sangat sedikit. Dosen dan mahasiswa Prodi Sarjana Kesehatan Masyarakat melaksanakan kegiatan berupa pelatihan kader PTM untuk mendukung upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian PTM. Pelatihan dilaksanakan pada hari Kamis, 13 Februari 2020. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata pengetahuan kader mengenai PTM mengalami peningkatan setelah dilakukan pelatihan.Nilai minimum pengetahuan sebelum pelatihan adalah 9 dan nilai maksimum adalah 15 dengan nilai rata-rata sebesar 12,08 dan standar deviasi 2,253. sedangkan nilai minimum pengetahuan setelah dilakukan pelatihan adalah Berdasarkan hasil uji statistik didapatkan p-value = 0,014 < 0,05. dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan adanya perbedaan bermakna rata-rata pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah pelatihan. Kader PTM telah dapat melakukan pemeriksaan kesehatan terkait dengan upaya skrining PTM. Kader terlatih ini diharapkan menjadi penggerak posbindu yang belum berjalan secara optimal. Diharapkan seluruh stakeholder (pemerintah desa setempat, Puskesmas, Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Bandung dan STIKes Dharma Hsuada Bandung dapat terus memberikan dukungan kebijakan, sarana dan prasarana agar upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian PTM terus dapat dilakukan.

<p>The issue of nutrition in population development is still an issue that is considered to be a major problem in the world population order, biscuits based on cork fish, and brown rice can improve weight gain. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Cork and Purple Sweet Potato biscuits on weight gain. The provision of cork and sweet potato biscuits was given to children aged 12-36 months at Health Center Subang, from July to August 2018. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cork fish and purple sweet potato biscuits on the weight gain of children aged 12 36 months. The research method used was quantitative, a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group design approach, with a sample of 64 toddlers aged 12-36 months. The sampling technique in this study was probability with randomization type, children under five who met the inclusion criteria of each intervention group amounted to 32 samples. Analysis of the effect of body weight using the T statistical test to determine the effect of giving biscuits a combination of snakehead fish and purple sweet potato. The results of the study showed an increase in body weight in the intervention group with an average increase of 6.65%, whereas in the control group had an average value of 1.15%. In addition, the results of data analysis using the T test obtained a value (p &lt;0.05) there were differences in underweight weight gain after being given intervention in the form of cork fish biscuits and purple sweet potato It is expected that further research will be continued by exploring other factors related to improving infant nutrition and further research on the efficient time for giving cork fish and purple sweet potato biscuits in order to obtain more optimal results.</p>
