Background: Despite the great importance of controlling and preventing postpartum hemorrhage, no evidence has been provided to reduce postpartum hemorrhage physiologically compared to conventional vaginal delivery. While it is claimed that physiological delivery can be better than conventional delivery, in many ways, there is insufficient available information about the effect of delivery method on postpartum hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. Objective: The current study aimed to compare postpartum hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in conventional and physiological delivery methods in Fatemieh Hospital of Hamedan. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 400 pregnant women candidates for physiological delivery and 400 pregnant women for conventional vaginal delivery in 2019. Mothers in the physiological delivery group were provided with necessary training. In the conventional vaginal delivery group, the mother went through the usual procedures upon hospitalization. All mothers' venous blood samples were analyzed for hemoglobin and hematocrit at the time of hospitalization and six hours after delivery. The significance level was considered 0.05. Results: The outcomes indicated that by controlling the confounding variables, the mean of hemoglobin in the physiologic delivery group was significantly higher than conventional vaginal delivery, 11.93 (1.20) and 11.64 (1.20) respectively (P <0.001), but the Cohen's d value of 0.25 indicated a weak relationship between the mean of hemoglobin level six hours after delivery and the type of delivery. The results also indicated that by controlling the effect of confounding variables, the mean of hematocrit in the physiological group was significantly more than conventional vaginal delivery (36.53 (3.33) and 35.50 (3.33) respectively) (p <0.001) but the Cohen's d value of 0.31 indicates a weak relationship between mean hematocrit 6 hours after delivery and the type of delivery. Conclusions: The results indicated that physiologic delivery did not show a valuable/considerable or the expected effect on improving postpartum maternal hemoglobin and hematocrit levels comparing to conventional delivery.

The aims of this study were: (1) to identify an increase in students' understanding of the value of mutual cooperation through the use of reader response rules in Indonesian Language Learning (KRPDPBI); (2) identifying the use of the reader response principle in Indonesian Language learning (KRPDPBI) there are differences between male and female students. The design of this study used a quasi-experimental study with two different methods. The results showed that (1) the achievement of the score of understanding the value of mutual cooperation for students taught by KRPDPBI was better than for students taught by regular learning according to the curriculum; (2) the achievement of the understanding of the value of male students' mutual cooperation is no better than that of female students.

Objective : The aim of research to improve knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding counseling the bride through the use of leaflets. Method : This quasi-experimental study was a sample of 30 person a brides with non-random assignment, the variable a knowledge obtained through interviews using questionnaires while the method of counseling does face to face with an exclusive breastfeeding leaflet. The data was analyzed by dependent t-test. Result : The results showed exclusive breastfeeding counseling can improve knowledge bride (p= 0,000) with a mean difference is 6,13 and a deviation is 3,71. Conclusion : Increase of knowledge among ‘bride-to be’ about exclusive breastfeeding could be improved through the use of exclusive breastfeeding leaflet. Each health center must be in collaboration with Office of Religious Affairs to have exclusive breastfeeding counseling, and set one of the priority programs in the prevention of child stunting.   Keywords: Bride, counseling, knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding
