<p align="center"><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p><em>Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) appears 7-10 days before the menstrual period and can cause an uncomfortable feeling and pain with mild to severe symptoms that eventually can disturb the activities and quality of life of teenage girls. Prolonged use of chemical medication can cause several side effects.  However, there is the option to use complementary therapy, such as Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress, which is considered to be safer than chemical medication and has no side effects. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress in reducing PMS in teenage girls. This research is a quasi experimental, pretest and posttest with control group design. Consecutive sampling was used to generate 68 respondents from teenage girls who were then divided into two groups  -  the intervention group that was given Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress and the control group who did not receive the  intervention. The bivariate analysis in the experimental group after the intervention, using the Cochran test, showed that the Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress is effective in reducing PMS amongst teenage girls (p=0,000 &lt; ? = 0,05). Another analysis using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test showed that </em>there is a difference in the level of PMS<em> between the experimental and the control group (p=0,002 &lt; ? = 0,05). It is therefore recommended that Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress be used as a complementary therapy to reduce PMS amongst teenage girls.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>Key words: </em><em>Premenstrual Syndrome; PMS, Cananga Aromatherapy; Warm Compress; Teenage Girls</em></p>

Oxytocin massage is performed to stimulate the oxytocin reflex or let down reflex. By doing this massage, the mother will feel relaxed, so that the hormone oxytocin comes out the breast milk quickly. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on breast milk production in post sectio secarea mothers. This research method used a quasi-experimental method (Quasi Experiment) with Post Test Only design with control group design. The sampling technique with non-probability sampling was consecutive sampling with the number of respondents as many as 50 samples, namely 25 samples for the intervention group and 25 people with the control group. Data analysis applied the Chi-Square test. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that the p-value in each measurement was 0.039, 0.003, 0.002, which means that there were differences in the proportions of the smoothness of breast milk in the intervention group and the control group. Conclusion: There is a difference in the proportion of smoothness of breast milk in the intervention group and the control group, and there is no relationship between oxytocin massage with age, education, occupation, and parity.

Background: Although pregnancy and motherhood are enjoyable experiences, they are associated with numerous biopsychological changes requiring adaptation. The present study aimed to assess the effects of relaxing music on life distress and Maternal-Fetal Attachment (MFA) in pregnant women. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test and a control group design. The research population included all Iranian pregnant women referring to Laleh Hospital in Tehran City, Iran, in 2020. In total, 30 women were selected using the convenience sampling method and randomly assigned into the intervention and control groups (n=15/group). The required data were collected using the Life Distress Inventory (LDI) and the Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale (MFAS). The intervention group listened to relaxing music for twelve 45-50-minute sessions in the morning and during routine midwifery visits; however, the controls received no intervention. The collected data were analyzed using Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) in SPSS V. 22. Results: The obtained results indicated that the intervention group reported a lower level of life distress in the post-test, compared to the controls (P=0.0001, F=15.860). The intervention group also achieved a higher mean score on MFA, than the control group (P=0.0001, F=35.872). Conclusion: According to the present research findings, reproductive health, nursing professionals, and psychologists could recommend music as a complementary therapy to reduce stress and distress experienced by expecting mothers and to improve MFA.

ABSTRAK  Latar belakang: Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) disebabkan oleh virus Dengue dapat menyebabkan kematian. Pencegahan DBD yang dianggap paling tepat adalah Pemberantasan Sarang Nyamuk (PSN). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pelatihan pengendalian vektor Demam Berdarah pada siswa sekolah dasar terhadap Maya Index di Majalengka. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi experiment (pretest-posttest control group design). Sebanyak 4 sekolah terpilih sebagai kelompok intervensi dan 4 sekolah lainnya sebagai kontrol. Subyek penelitian adalah siswa kelas IV-VI yang terdiri dari 171 siswa pada kelompok intervensi dan 163 pada kelompok kontrol. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah formulir pemantauan jentik berkala. Hasil: Jumlah rumah dengan kategori Maya Index tinggi berkurang dari 27,5% menjadi 9,4%. Terjadi penurunan angka BRI kategori tinggi pada kelompok intervensi dari 20,5% menjadi 1,8%. Pada kelompok kontrol tidak terjadi penurunan angka BRI kategori tinggi (22,1%), sebaliknya terjadi penurunan kategori rendah dari 34,4% menjadi 3,7%. Tidak terjadi penurunan angka HRI pada kelompok intervensi maupun kontrol. Kesimpulan: Pelatihan pengendalian vektor Demam Berdarah dapat menurunkan nilai BRI dan Maya Index, tetapi tidak berpengaruh terhadap nilai HRI. Tidak adanya perubahan nilai HRI menunjukkan bahwa kebersihan dan sanitasi lingkungan merupakan faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap probabilitas kejadian demam berdarah. Kata Kunci : Demam Berdarah, Maya Index, pelatihan, pengendalian vektor   ABSTRACT Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) caused by Dengue virus could cause death. The most appropriate prevention of Dengue is eradication of mosquito nests (PSN). This study aims to determine the effect of Dengue vector control training on elementary students towards Maya Index in Majalengka. Method: This study used quasi-experimental design (pretest-posttest control group design). A total of 4 schools were selected as intervention groups and 4 other schools as controls. The subjects were students in grades IV-VI consisting of 171 students in the intervention group and 163 in the control group. The instrument used was periodic larva monitoring form. Results: The number of houses with a high Maya Index category in the intervention group decreased from 27.5% to 9.4%. There was a decrease in the high BRI category in the intervention group from 20.5% to 1.8%. In the control group, there was no decrease in the high BRI category (22.1%), on the contrary, there was a decrease in the low category from 34.4% to 3.7%. There was no decrease in HRI rates both of intervention or control groups. Conclusion: Dengue Fever vector control training could decrease the value of BRI and Maya Index, but does not affect the value of HRI. The absence of changes in HRI  indicate that environmental hygiene and sanitation are factors that influence the probability of dengue fever occurrence. Keywords: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, Maya Index, training, vector control

Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa ada pengaruh pemberian rebusan daun binahong mampu mempercepat penyembuhan luka perineum dibandingkan iodine povidone 10%. Daun binahong dapat menjadi alternatif terapi komplementer pada ibu nifas yang mengalami luka robekan perineum.   One of the main causes of maternal death in developing countries is puerperal infection. Midwifery care, body immunity, postnatal care, nutrition, anemia and genetalia hygiene are factors that trigger puerperal infections. The perineal rupture if not treated properly will cause an infection in the suture wound in the perineum. Wound care is important because germs can enter through the suture marks on the perineum and cause infection. Non-pharmacological therapies that can be used to accelerate wound healing are Anredera cordifolia. The research design was quasi experimental with posttest approach Only Control Group Design, namely data collection was done after treatment. The total sample was 32 postpartum mothers according to inclusion criteria. The data observed in this study were the degree of healing of perineal wounds using the REEDA scale perineal wound healing observation sheet instrument (Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge and Approximation). Based on the results of the Mann Whitney test, the mean rank of the results in the treatment group was 11.83 lower than the control group, namely 21.8 (p-value = 0.001). Effect of giving Anredera cordifolia leaves on the healing of perineal wounds in postpartum mothers significantly. Care with giving Anredera cordifolia leaves can accelerate the healing of perineal wounds compared to 10% iodine povidone. Anredera cordifolia leaves can be used as a complementary therapy for postpartum mothers who experience perineal torn wounds.
