One way to prevent high-risk pregnancies is by addressing the lack of knowledge. The Pre-Experimental Design research aims to determine how high-risk pregnancy health education impacts pregnant women's knowledge about their condition, using a one-group pretest-posttest design. By providing books and videos once, this research conducted an intervention. Data was collected through pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The total sampling method was used to collect 45 respondents. The results of the data analysis indicate that the normality test before and after the intervention showed that the data is not normally distributed with a significance of 0.00 ≤ 0.05. To test the research hypothesis, the Wilcoxon test was used, and the results showed that the Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value is 0.000 ≤ 0.05, which indicates that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. It can be concluded that health education on high-risk pregnancy shows that health institutions should implement and provide health education about high-risk pregnancy to patients who are already aware as well as those who are not. This will help pregnant women become more informed and reduce the number of high-risk pregnancies.

Laparotomi is a surgical procedure in which the abdominal wall layer is operated on to remove the part that is experiencing problems. One of the problems that can occur in post laparotomy patients is pain. Pain is a person's emotional experience due to tissue damage that occurs after surgery.

Nausea and moting affect most women in early pregnancy. Up to 80% of women experience nausea and vomiting to some degree during the first trimester, and for some, these symptoms typically resolve by 12 to 14 weeks. Nausea and vomiting can occur due to elevated levels of estrogen and HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin),but psychological factors also play a role in this condition. Complaints of nausea and vomiting are physiological in nature; however, if not promptly addressed, they can turn pathological and lead to pregnancy complications. Non-pharmacological methods, such as lemon-infused water, can effectively tackle nausea and vomiting. This quantitative research determined the effect of lemon-infused water on relieving nausea and vomiting in pregnant women during the first trimester with a pre-experimental design and a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study consists of pregnant women in their first trimester suffering from nausea and vomiting at the Kedungmundu Public Health Center.

The Wilcoxon statistical test and the result show a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), accepting the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and rejecting the null hypothesis (Ho). This indicates that giving pregnancy women lemon-infused water relieves nausea and vomiting during the first trimester.

Hypertension is a condition that often does not present clear visible symptoms, with blood pressure readings reaching 140/90 mmHg or higher. One non-pharmacological treatment method that can be considered to reduce hypertension is Benson relaxation therapy combined with Quranic recitation (murottal). This study aims to evaluate the effects of the combination of Benson relaxation therapy and Quranic recitation on blood pressure changes in hypertensive patients. The study design used a quasi-experimental quantitative approach with a pretest-posttest method without a control group.

Breast milk production in the early postpartum period often experiences obstacles due to physiological and psychological factors, which can affect the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Non-pharmacological interventions such as oxytocin massage are known to help stimulate the milk ejection reflex, but their application in primary health facilities is still limited. This study aims to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers. The study design used a quasi-experimental approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The study sample consisted of 30 breastfeeding mothers who met the criteria and were selected using total sampling technique at the Galala Inpatient Health Center. Breast milk production was measured based on volume and clinical signs of breast milk production before and after the oxytocin massage intervention. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a significant increase in breast milk volume and signs of production after the intervention with a p-value < 0.001. This indicates that oxytocin massage is effective in increasing breast milk production through a neurohormonal stimulation mechanism that enhances the let-down reflex. In conclusion, oxytocin massage can be recommended as a lactation support intervention in primary care facilities to support successful exclusive breastfeeding.
