Background: Post-cesarean mothers often experience anxiety and discomfort due to long-term pain. The combination of hypnobreastfeeding and acupressure is considered to be effective in reducing anxiety and pain levels. Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of combination of hypnobreastfeeding and acupressure on anxiety and pain levels in post-caesarean mothers.Methods: This study was a true experiment with pretest-posttest control group design, conducted in the Ambarawa Public Hospital on 5 November to 9 December 2016. There were 36 participants selected using stratified random sampling, with 18 assigned in the experiment and control group. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and wilcoxon test.Results: There were statistically significant differences of anxiety and pain levels before and after intervention in the experiment and control group with p-value 0.001 (<0.05).Conclusion: The combination of hypnobreastfeeding and acupressure has a significant effect in reducing anxiety and pain levels in post-cesarean mothers. This intervention could be applied as an alternative therapy in treating post-caesarean mothers.
This research aimed to analyze the effectiveness of hypnotherapy compared with acupressure toward the prolactin hormone level and the production of breast milk among women giving birth by caesarean section. The research groups were divided into two groups, namely hypnotherapy-receiving women group and acupressure-receiving women group. The hypnotherapy was done in accordance with the standard and guided by the hypnotherapist. The acupressure was done in the meridian of stomach and small intestine, meridian of kidney, and spleen. There was a significant increase in the prolactin hormone level and production of breast milk before and after the therapy (p < 0.05) for both treatment groups. In the production of prolactin hormone and breast milk, hypnotherapy technique was significantly more effective than acupressure (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that the hypnotherapy is more effective than acupressure in stimulating the production of prolactin hormone and production of breast milk among women giving birth with caesarean section. Thus, hypnotherapy can be the alternative in support of the successful exclusive breast milk feeding.
Background: The main purpose of hospital nutrition service activity is providing qualified food to patient. So far, the efforts to improve food quality in hospital have not been done integrated. Hospital still faces basic problems such as lack of cooks in either quantity or quality. Hospital needs, professional cooks who are able to serve food correctly based on standard, and providing a culinary training for the cooks is needed to improve food quality.Objective: To find out the effect of culinary training for the cook to patient’s food quality.Method: This study was a quasi-experimental with time series design. The subject of study was 30 cooks at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar. Data were collected through observation and assessment using questionnaires and check-list. T-test and anova analyses were used to analyze the data on knowledge, attitude, skill of food preparation and food quality.Result: This study showed that there were improvements on scales of knowledge 8.64±2.70 (p<0.05), attitude 20.34±6.32 (p<0.05) and skill 7.89±1.64 (p<0.05) after the training. There were also improvements on food performances (color, texture, size of portion, appearance, and serving) and taste (temperature, flavor, tenderness, maturity, odor).Conclusion: There were improvements of cook’s knowledge, attitude, skill and food quality of patient after culinary training.
