The data normality test using the Shapiro Wilk found that the data were not normally distributed, so the data analysis used the Wilcoxon test. The results were average degree of foot edema before the intervention was 3+ and the average after the intervention was 1+. Based on the Wilcoxon test, the result of the 2-tailed sign with p-value=0.000 (p<0.05), then statistically there was a significant reduction of foot edema between before and after foot massage and warm footbath with kencur aromatic performed among third-trimester pregnant women.

Asphyxia neonatorum is a condition where the baby does not breathe spontaneously and regularly immediately after birth; this condition can be accompanied by hypoxia, hypercapnia, and up to acidosis. This study aims to analyze the relationship between gestational age and the incidence of neonatal asphyxia in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Tongas Hospital, Probolinggo District. This research is quantitative with a correlational design using a cross-sectional study approach with a total of 35 respondents using an accidental sampling technique. Data collection includes coding, editing, and tabulating, then analyzed manually and by computer with the Spearman Rank Test. Based on data from 35 respondents who were studied in the period June 20, 2022, to August 31, 2022, the majority were preterm, with a total of 17 respondents (48.6%), including mild asphyxia 4 (11.4%) and moderate asphyxia 13 respondents (37.1%) %). With p=0.000 (a=0.05), there is a relationship between gestational age and the incidence of neonatal asphyxia in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Tongas Hospital, Probolinggo Regency. Midwives are expected to immediately determine gestational age because it is important to predict delivery to prevent neonatal asphyxia.

“…The main causes of maternal death in DKI Jakarta Province in 2018 were 39 cases of bleeding, 21 cases of hypertension in pregnancy, 8 cases of infection, 3 cases of circulatory system disorders and 27 other causes. The way to reduce the risk of death for pregnant women is to improve the health status of pregnant women until delivery (Novelia et al, 2022).…”

According to the Indonesian Health Profile (2015), the five biggest causes of maternal death are bleeding (28%), hypertension in pregnancy (25%), infections (11%), prolong labor (5%), and abortion (5%). Objective: This study aims to determine the factors associated with the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy in Harapan Jayakarta Hospital. Methodology: This research is an analytical method with a cross sectional study. The sample in this study was 190 pregnant women. The sampling technique is simple random sampling. The instrument is medical record data. Data were analyzed using chi square statistical test. Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age (p = 0.001), employment status (p = 0.003), parity (p = 0.009), pregnancy interval (p = 0.003), history of diabetes mellitus (p = 0.038), obesity (p = 0.017), history of hormonal contraception (p = 0.044) with incidence hypertension in pregnancy. Conclusions and Recommendations: There was a significant relationship between age, occupational status, gravida status, pregnancy interval, history of diabetes mellitus, obesity and history of hormonal contraception with the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy. It is expected that health workers provide health education to anticipate complications in pregnancy and women are expected to carry out the health education provided.
