Healthy lifestyle is an indicator and influence on health problems. Self-management in dealing with this must be done productively. When uric acid is produced in excess and the processing of uric acid is decreased, uric acid levels in the blood are higher. To overcome this, non-pharmacological treatment can be done by consuming bay leaves boiled water. In addition, health education is also needed. Health education is one of the effective nursing interventions to increase awareness and knowledge. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of uric acid health education and drinking bay leaf boiled water to control gout. The research method used is pre-experimental design with pre-posttest design approach. The population was 60 respondents. The sampling method included home visits to gout sufferers. The sample was 22 respondents. Wilcoxon test was used for statistical tests. The results of the pre-posttest showed the P value was 0.001, which is less than 0.05. In other words, health education and consumption of bay leaf water effectively reduce uric acid levels. This research is recommended for the whole community because this intervention has minimal side effects, materials and tools are easy to obtain, and cost-effective so that it can be applied independently

THE RESULTS OF THIS STUDY SHOWED THAT POSTPARTUM MOTHERS WHO EXPERIENCED HIGH LEVELS OF FATIGUE AS MUCH AS 91 (95.8%), MODERATE AS MUCH AS 2 (2.1%), LOW AS MANY AS 2 (2.1%) RESPONDENTS. THE MOTIVATION LEVEL OF BREASTFEEDING WAS LOW BY 50 (52.6%), AND THE MOTIVATION OF BREASTFEEDING WAS LOW AS MUCH AS 40 (47.4%) RESPONDENTS. THE CONCLUSION OF THIS STUDY THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT ASSOCIATION BETWEEN FATIGUE AND MOTIVATION OF BREASTFEEDING IN POSTPARTUM (P = 0.001). HEALTH SERVICE ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF SERVICE IN THE POSTPARTUM PERIOD BY ASSESSING POSTPARTUM FATIGUE EARLY TO INCREASE MATERNAL MOTIVATION IN BREASTFEEDING.

Low back pain is one of the complaints felt by some and almost all postpartum mothers since pregnancy. Low back pain occurs in 45-55% of mothers in the first week postpartum, continues at 8 weeks postpartum as much as 68% and 60% in the next 8 months. Persistent pain causes inhibition of maternal activities and reduces quality of life. One type of complementary therapy is cryotherapy cold therapy with ice. Cold therapy is a therapeutic modality that can absorb tissue temperature so that there is a decrease in tissue temperature through the conduction mechanism. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cryoptherapy on low back pain in postpartum mothers during home care during the COVID-19 pandemic. This type of research is a pre-experimental design with One Group Pretest-Posttest with a sample of 22 early postpartum mothers (24 hours to 1 week after delivery). Data were analyzed using paired t test. The results showed that the average pain scale before being given cryotherapy was 6.82 with a standard deviation of 0.907, the average self-efficacy after being given cryotherapy was 3.96 with a standard deviation of 0.64. There was a difference in the mean value between before and after the cryotherapy intervention was given with p-value = 0.002 (p<0.05). It is hoped that health services can use cryotherapy as a therapy to reduce postpartum maternal back pain.
