“…Salah satu terapi pijat tersebut adalah pijat refleksi (13). Pijat refleksi dilakukan dengan memberikan tekanan pada titik-titik tertentu yang sebagian besar terletak di kaki dan ditangan, dengan maksud meredakan gejala tertentu (14). Pijat refleksi menjadi pilihan karena bersifat non-invasif, berbiaya rendah, dan praktis, karena menawarkan tingkat keamanan dan efektivitas yang tinggi (13,15).…”

“…Sebelum melakukan pemijatan, sebaiknya dilakukan tahap persiapan sebagai pengantar rasa nyaman bagi pasien termasuk menempatkan pasien diruangan khusus (14). Kami menemukan bahwa diperlukan persiapan awal yang dapat menjadi pilihan untuk mempersiapkan kaki sebelum dipijat adalah dengan gerakan kaki seperti menekuk kaki ke atas dan ke bawah, meregangkan betis dan pergelangan kaki, memutar pergelangan kaki ke dalam dan ke luar, serta meregangkan kaki (21) atau dengan mengoleskan minyak ke kaki seperi minyak almond manis untuk memberikan rasa hangat (22,24) atau baby oil tanpa pewangi agar kaki menjadi licin (30,31).…”

Methods: A systematic review was performed using an electronic database and a manual search of all studies reporting the effects of reflexology on the fatigue of cancer patients. A total of 10 studies were eligible for review, including 7 randomized control trial (RCT) designs and 3 experimental study designs. Results: A total of 1093 participants from 10 studies were analyzed in this systematic review. The included studies consisted of seven RCT trials and three quasi-experiments. We found a positive effect of reflexology in reducing fatigue in cancer patients. Conclusion: This review provides strong evidence regarding the ability of reflexology therapy to relieve fatigue in cancer patients.

“…Ada berbagai macam terapi non farmakologis yang dapat diberikan untuk mengurangi nyeri pada pasien kanker payudara seperti pemberian obat topical analgesik, ekserkise, terapi pijat refleksi dan behavioral (Unlu et al, 2018). Dari beberapa terapi non farmakologi tersebut maka menurut penelitian yang telah dilakukan oleh Tarrasch et al, (2018) mengatakan bahwa salah satu terapi yang efektif untuk mengurangi nyeri pada pasien dengan kanker payudara adalah pijat refleksi, karena pemberian pijat refleksi akan memberikan energi meridian yang berada di kaki yang akan mengakibatkan pasien terangsang secara spontan kemudian dialirkan gelombang otak theta dan meneruskan ke saraf organ yang mengalami gangguan sehingga nyeri dapat berkurang.…”

“…(13) Although the exact action mechanism of the reflexology is still unclear, there are various theories in the efficacy of reflexology including energy channels theory, lactic acid theory, and neuromatrix pain theory. (14) However, considering the high prevalence of postpartum pain and its importance in maternal health and the mother's need for relaxation during breastfeeding, there has been no study on the efficacy of reflexology on postpartum pain. Regarding the safety of the non-invasive foot reflexology method to apply by midwives and supporting the complementary medicine, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of foot reflexology on reducing postpartum pain.…”

BACKGROUND Postpartum pain is one of the most important and prevalent problems in the postpartum period. In this regard, reflexology is a common method to reduce this type of pain in women. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of foot reflexology on postpartum pain. METHODS This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on mothers referred to obstetrics and gynaecology ward of Razi Teaching Hospital affiliated to Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran from January to December 2018. A total of 68 women were randomly selected as per the inclusion criteria. Then, the participants were assigned to the intervention (n:34) and control (n:34) groups using a table of random digits. In the test group, reflexology was performed for 10 minutes on each foot in the pituitary points, the solar plexus points, the inner arch of the foot, and the uterine point. In the control group, routine care and other foot massages were performed. Data gathering tool in this study was a demographic questionnaire and pain visual analogue scale (VAS). The severity of pain was recorded immediately after the intervention, followed by 30, 60, 120 minutes, and 6 hours after the intervention. In case of intolerable pain, analgesic was prescribed to the mother until 30 minutes after the intervention. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics methods (mean and standard deviation), independent T-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Chi-square, and Mann-Whitney tests using SPSS software version 22. RESULTS The results showed that after foot reflexology, the mean score of pain intensity and duration were significantly decreased in the intervention group in comparison to control group (p< 0.001). Although the use of analgesic in the control group was at times more than the intervention group, it was not statistically significant (p= 0.1) and the foot reflexology did not reduce the need for analgesic. CONCLUSIONS Based on the findings, foot reflexology is an effective and appropriate method for reducing the severity and duration of postpartum pain.
