ABSTRACT Background: Emesis gravidarum can get worse into hyperemesis gravidarum which causes the body to become weaker, paler, and the frequency of urination decreases. As a result, decreased body fluids and hemoconcentration of blood can cause tissue damage. Non pharmacological treatment is very important because it reduces the pharmacological effects that appear in pregnant women. The herbal therapy that has been proven to be beneficial is the administration of peppermint, but research on the effects of Pamelo fruit related to nausea and vomiting in pregnant women is still rare.Objective: To determine the comparison of the effectiveness of peppermint and Pomelo orange on the intensity of nausea and vomiting in pregnant womenMethods: The research design was a quasi experimental study with a pretest posttest control group design approach. The number of samples was 24 pregnant women who were grouped into 3 groups.Results: The average intensity of nausea and vomiting in the peppermint group at pretest was 2.38 and decreased at posttest to 1 with P-value 0.004. The intensity of nausea and vomiting in the Pomelo group at pretest was 6.38, falling to 1.75 at posttest with P-value 0.000. The result of further test showed that there was no significant difference in the intensity of nausea and vomiting between the two groups with Sig. 0.428.Conclusion: Peppermint and pomelo are effective in reducing the intensity of nausea and vomiting in trimester I pregnant women.Suggestion : This research needs to be refined by enlarging the research sample and measuring the intensity of nausea and vomiting can be done every day during the study considering that this study only measured twice the number of 24 respondents. Keywords : Nausea, Vomiting, Pregnancy, Peppermint, Pomelo ABSTRAK Latar Belakang : Emesis gravidarum dapat bertambah berat menjadi hiperemesis gravidarum yang mengakibatkan tubuh semakin lemah, pucat, dan frekuensi buang air kecil menurun. Akibatnya cairan tubuh berkurang dan hemokonsentrasi darah yang dapat menimbulkan kerusakan jaringan. Pengobatan non farmakolgis sangat penting karena mengurangi efek farmakologis yang muncul pada ibu hamil. Terapi herbal yang sudah terbukti bermanfaat adalah pemberian peppermint, namun penelitian efek buah Pamelo yang berkaitan dengan mual muntah pada ibu hamil masih jarang.Tujuan Penelitian : Untuk mengetahui  perbandingan efektifitas pemberian peppermint dan Jeruk Pomelo terhadap intensitas  mual dan  muntah pada ibu hamilMetode Penelitian : Rancangan penelitian ini adalah quasi experimental dengan pendekatan pretest posttest control group design. Jumlah sampel  adalah sebanyak 24 orang ibu hamil yang dikelompokkan kedalam 3 kelompok.Hasil Penelitian : Rata-rata intensitas mual muntah pada kelompok peppermint saat pretest adalah 2,38 dan menurun pada saat posttest menjadi 1 dengan P-value 0,004. Intensitas mual muntah kelompok Pomelo pada pretest adalah 6.38 turun menjadi 1,75 pada saat posttest dengan P-value 0,000. Hasil uji lanjut didapatkan tidak ada perbedaan bermakna intensitas mual muntah antara kedua kelompok dengan Sig. 0,428.Kesimpulan : Pemberian Peppermint dan pomelo efektif dalam menurunkan intensitas mual dan muntah pada ibu hamil trimester I.Saran : Penelitian ini perlu disempurnakan dengan memperbesar sampel penelitian dan pengukuran intensitas mual muntah dapat dilakukan setiap hari selama penelitian mengingat penelitian ini hanya mengukur sebanyak dua kali pada 24 responden. Kata kunci : Mual, Muntah, Kehamilan, Peppermint, Pomelo

Background: Long-term use of a mechanic ventilator may cause Ventilator- Associated Pneumonia (VAP) infection, nosocomial pneumonia that occurs after 48 hours in patients using mechanical ventilation either through the endotracheal tube or the tracheostomy tube. To prevent the occurrence of VAP, antiseptic liquid (mouthwash) such as chlorhexidine 2% maybe recommended. However, gargling using chlorhexidine may also cause allergies, thus, Aloe vera extract could be an alternative. Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Aloe vera extract as mouthwash to prevent the occurrence of Ventilator-associated pneumonia. Methods: This research is a quasi-experiment case-control study with a pre- posttest control group design. The sample size in this study was 30 respondents who were equally distributed into two groups; intervention group was administered using Aloe vera extract, while chlorhexidine was practiced for the control group. To determine the occurrence of VAP, Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia was measured on the first day of intubation and the fourth day, enumerated by nurses in the emergency room. CPIS is a set of indicators comprised of temperature, leucocyte, trachea secretion, oxygenation (PaO2/FiO in mm Hg), and thorax photo. CPIS value below than five will be regarded non-VAP, while CPIS scored 6-9 will be diagnosed as VAP. Results: Oral hygiene with Aloe vera extract was able to prevent the occurrence of VAP (p-value = 0.001), but there was no significant difference between the control group and intervention in the CPIS component temperature, leukocytes, tracheal secretions, FiO2, and the thoracic component. Conclusions: Oral hygiene with Aloe vera extract effectively prevented the occurrence of V entilator-Associated Pneumonia (V AP) compared to chlorhexidine.

Hasil penelitian menunjukan terdapat pengaruh pemberian rebusan Daun binahong terhadap penyembuhan luka perineum pada ibu nifas. Rerata hasil uji Uji statistik Mann Whitney, pada kelompok perlakuan adalah 11,83 lebih rendah dibandingkan pada kelompok kontrol, yaitu 21,8 (p-value = 0,001). 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.
