Penggunaan Redesain Bantal Menyusui Meningkatkan Motivasi Ibu Menyusui Dan Kepuasan Bayi Serta Mengurangi Kelelahan Dan Keluhan Muskuloskeletal Ibu Post Partum

Abstract

<jats:p>Breastfeeding is a very important activity for both mother and baby. In the breastfeeding state the relationship between mother and baby will be tight and close. The old method and also duration of breastfeeding can cause fatigue, shoulder muscle tension, and soreness / stiffness in breastfeeding mothers. Problems due to absence of the use of pillow when mother breastfeed and mothers only depending on her limb to sustain baby when breastfeeding. In this case we need an ergonomic pillow to help mother feeding her baby. The purpose of this research is to investigate the use of redesigning nursing pillow can reduce fatigue, musculoskeletal complaints in breastfeeding mothers, to determine the use redesigning nursing pillow increase the motivation of mothers to breastfeed the baby as well as increase the satisfaction of nursing infants.This research held in as an experimental research draft of pre and post control group design. Samples that were included in this study was 22 people divided into two groups. The control group will breastfeeding using older model nursing pillow, while the another group will use the new redesign nursing pillow. Data analysis using t-test paried significance level of 5%.The result showed mother’s motivation after breastfeeding in both groups increased, the control group (18.27 ± 2.370) and the treatment group (15.45 ± 1.809). Baby satisfaction in the control group (11.09 ± 0.943), while the treatment group (12.27 ± 0.904). Exhausted mother’s in the control group (39.64 ± 2.803), while the treatment group (32.64 ± 1.504).Musculoskeletal disorders that mother’s felt in the control group (37.54 ± 1.694), while the treatment group (30.81 ± 2.136).Based on the study can be concluded that redesign breastfeeding pillow can giving impact to increase motivation and baby satisfaction and also decrease fatigue and musculoskeletal complain/disorder that mothers can feel. So hopefully by using this nursing pillow design maximizes mothers to breastfeed</jats:p>

The Use of Breastfeeding Pillow to Reduce Discomfort for Breastfeeding Mothers

“… 17 Other related studies conducted by the study showed that the level of maternal fatigue after breastfeeding, which was measured by usage of breastfeeding pillow, decreased by 5.73%. 13 This showed that the ergonomic intervention could reduce the level of maternal fatigue/discomfort during the breastfeeding process. Therefore, it is essential to provide information to encourage mothers to pay attention to the principles of ergonomics during breastfeeding.…”

“…According to the study confirmed that musculoskeletal complaints generally occur due to excessive static muscle contraction caused by a heavy workload weight over a long period. 13 The study also explained that muscle complaints might not occur if muscle contractions fall between 15%-20% of the maximum muscle strength. If the contraction exceeded 20% of the maximum muscle strength, the circulation of blood and the supply of O 2 to the muscles would decrease, the process of carbohydrate metabolism would also be hampered, and there could be an accumulation of lactic acid which causes pain in the muscles.…”

“…The discomfort felt by the mother results from an inappropriate body posture and length of time sitting. 13 Typically, the mother’s body attempts to maintain its position and attachment in a sitting position with straight back while leaning slightly forward. Such a position causes the mother’s back muscles and waist to contract over time.…”

“…However, the study failed to clarify what percentage of muscle contraction resulted from breastfeeding activities. 13 …”

“…However, the study failed to clarify what percentage of muscle contraction resulted from breastfeeding activities. 13 Complaints of discomfort based on the measuring instruments used, namely the BPDS, ranged from very mild complaints to extremely uncomfortable. Perceptions of discomfort began from stimulation of the skin (exteroceptive); stimulation of sensors in the spindles of muscles, tendons, and joints (proprioceptive); stimulation of the internal organ system (interoceptive); and stimulation of the pain sensors (nociceptive).…”
