Anxiety during pregnancy, particularly near the time of delivery, is a common issue that may adversely affect both maternal and fetal health. Elevated anxiety levels are associated with increased pain perception, prolonged labor, and a higher likelihood of complications. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as aromatherapy, are increasingly utilized due to their safety, simplicity, and effectiveness. Lavender aromatherapy is especially recognized for its calming effects and its ability to enhance emotional well-being. Previous research has indicated that lavender scent exposure can reduce both physiological and psychological indicators of anxiety, including among pregnant women. However, evidence from Indonesian primary healthcare settings remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing anxiety levels among pregnant women approaching childbirth. An analytical observational design with a pretest-posttest approach was applied to 30 participants selected through purposive sampling. Anxiety levels were assessed using a validated questionnaire before and after inhalation of lavender aromatherapy administered under standardized conditions. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.The findings revealed a significant reduction in anxiety levels after the intervention (p < 0.05), with all participants experiencing improvement and no adverse effects reported. In conclusion, lavender aromatherapy is an effective complementary intervention to reduce anxiety and support maternal readiness for labor.

Labor pain is a significant challenge faced by in-partum mothers, with a prevalence of 70% in Indonesia, and 40% of women reporting severe pain (Central Statistics Agency, 2022). Conventional pharmacological methods often do not provide optimal results and can cause side effects. As a non-pharmacological alternative, oxytocin massage has shown promise in reducing labor pain intensity by stimulating the endogenous production of oxytocin, a natural analgesic hormone. This study aimed to assess the effect of oxytocin massage on labor pain intensity in in-partum mothers at Manado Medical Center Hospital. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test approach was used. The sample consisted of 30 in-partum mothers who met the inclusion criteria. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after a 30-minute oxytocin massage administered by trained health workers. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test. The results showed a significant reduction in pain intensity from an average of 7.23 (SD=1.08) before the massage to 4.63 (SD=1.11) afterward, with a decrease of 2.6 points. The proportion of mothers experiencing severe pain decreased from 50% to 20%, while mild pain increased from 16.7% to 46.7%. The paired t-test revealed a highly significant difference with t=10.274 (df=29), p=0.000 (p<0.05). In conclusion, oxytocin massage is an effective non-pharmacological intervention that can significantly reduce labor pain and improve the birth experience. It can be incorporated into standard maternity nursing protocols to enhance maternal care.

Plasma Cell Leukemia (PCL) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by the proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow and their presence in the peripheral blood. PCL is classified into primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL), which occurs de novo without a prior history of multiple myeloma, and secondary plasma cell leukemia (sPCL), which arises in association with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. A 58-year-old woman presented with right hip pain that had been ongoing for four months. The pain progressively worsened, limiting her ability to move her leg and eventually causing significant difficulty in walking. She also experienced bilateral lower limb weakness and an unintentional weight loss of 10 kg over the same period. The patient denied any history of trauma. Physical examination revealed pallor without signs of bruising or spontaneous bleeding. Laboratory findings showed severe anemia (Hb 6.5 g/dL), leukocytosis (24,100/µL), thrombocytopenia, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and 25% plasma cells on peripheral blood smear. Bone marrow aspiration demonstrated 40% infiltration by plasma cells. Based on the patient’s clinical presentation, physical examination, and laboratory findings, the diagnosis is consistent with primary Plasma Cell Leukemia.

Appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal pain in children and is considered a surgical emergency requiring immediate diagnosis and management to prevent serious complications. Diagnosing appendicitis in children is often challenging because the symptoms are non-specific, and the child's ability to articulate complaints is limited. This case report discusses a 6-year-and-9-month-old boy who presented with a chief complaint of lower right abdominal pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and fever. Based on the results of the anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting investigations in the form of laboratory tests and abdominal ultrasound (USG), a diagnosis of acute appendicitis was established. The patient then underwent an appendectomy with good recovery and no complications. This case emphasizes the importance of comprehensive clinical evaluation and the use of non-invasive supporting examinations such as ultrasound in establishing the diagnosis of appendicitis in children. It highlights the critical role of timely diagnosis and intervention, which can lead to favorable outcomes and prevent the risk of perforation or other serious complications. Early recognition and appropriate surgical decision-making are key to improving patient prognosis.

Labor is a complex interaction between psychological and physiological drives in women. (90%) delivery is accompanied by pain. In the active phase there is an increase in the intensity and frequency of contractions, so that the peak pain response is in this phase. Pain and soreness during labor are basically caused by strong contractions during labor. Breathing relaxation techniques can control pain by minimizing sympathetic activity in the autonomic nervous system. This study aims to determine the effect of deep breathing relaxation techniques on reducing labor pain in the first active phase. The type of design in this study is pre-experimental with The number of samples was taken according to the Accidental Sampling technique, samples were taken when patients went to the Andra Agustiana PMB Clinic with a minimum of 30 respondents. The data collection technique used a questionnaire sheet and a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain scale. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that before being given the breathing relaxation technique, most respondents experienced severe pain or pain levels on a scale of 7-10, namely 25 respondents (71.4%) and after being given deep breathing relaxation technique treatment, most respondents experienced moderate pain (scale 4-6) as many as 28 respondents (80%). The results of data analysis obtained the Asymp.significancy value = 0.000 (ρ<0.05). The conclusion is that there is an effect of providing deep breathing relaxation techniques on reducing labor pain in the first active phase. It is hoped that deep breathing relaxation techniques can be applied in the management of labor care as an alternative to reduce labor pain for mothers giving birth in the first active phase

Labor is the process of expelling the products of conception, namely the fetus and placenta, after reaching full term and being viable in the womb. There are two types of delivery: normal delivery and caesarean section (SC). Caesarean section (SC) is a surgical procedure performed through an incision in the uterine wall to deliver the fetus. Caesarean delivery is indicate in cases of cephalopelvic disproportion, breech or transverse fetal position, fetal weight exceeding 4,000 grams, or maternal health conditions that may endanger the mother and fetus. One of the common complications following caesarean delivery is pain. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. An intervention that can be applied to reduce post SC pain is Guided Imagery Therapy. Guided imagery therapy is a non-pharmacological intervention aimed at reducing and controlling pain by creating pleasant and relacing thoughts, focusing on breathing, and visualizing positive scenarios. This study employed a descriptive case study design using the nursing process from assessment to evaluation. The study was conducted on two patients with moderate pain (pain scale 4-6) after SC at TK II Putri Hijau Hosiptal Medan. The results showed that after the application of guided imagery therapy for three days with a duration of 40 minutes per session, pain levels decreased to mild (pain scale 1-3). In ptient I, pain decreased from a score of 5 to 3, an in patient 2, from a score of 6 to 3. In conclusion, guided imagery therapy was successfully applied in reducing post -SC pain levels and can serve as a reference for further research on pain reduction following caesarean section.

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) remains a key indicator in assessing maternal health in Indonesia. Prolonged labor, particularly in the first stage, contributes to the high MMR. Prolonged labor can increase the risk of complications for both mother and baby. Birthballs are a non-pharmacological method used to help accelerate labor by increasing comfort, reducing pain, and accelerating cervical dilation. This method is increasingly popular because it does not involve medication and is safer for pregnant women. This study aims to determine the effect of birthball use on the progress of first-stage labor in women giving birth at the Cantika Clinic, Deli Tua District, Deli Serdang Regency in 2022. The study design used a Quasi Experiment with a Two Group Design. The study sample consisted of 20 respondents divided into two groups: an intervention group using a birthball and a control group not using a birthball, each consisting of 10 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the study showed that the group using the birthball had an average duration of the first stage of labor of 7 hours, while the group not using the birthball had an average duration of 8 hours and 40 minutes. The results of the statistical analysis showed a p value = 0.029 (<0.05), which means there is a significant effect of the use of the birthball on the progress of the first stage of labor. The conclusion of this study is that the use of the birthball can accelerate the process of the first stage of labor, so it is recommended to be implemented as a non-pharmacological intervention that can support a smoother and more comfortable delivery for pregnant women.

This community service program was implemented to address the needs of farmers in Kalicaah Village, Tanjung Jaya Village, Panimbang District, for an affordable, simple, and user-friendly fertilizing tool. Traditionally, the application of solid fertilizer has been done manually, which not only leads to inefficiency but also significantly increases the physical workload of farmers. To overcome this issue, the program team designed a solid fertilizer spreader using appropriate technology, constructed from recycled materials such as PVC pipes and used water gallons. This innovation was aimed at creating a sustainable, low-cost solution for the local agricultural community. The program’s implementation involved several key activities, including identifying the farmers' challenges, conducting assembly training sessions, demonstrating the tool’s use, and running direct field trials in local farms. The results showed that the use of the newly developed fertilizer spreader led to a 45% reduction in the time spent applying fertilizer, which directly contributed to more efficient farming practices. Additionally, there was a significant reduction in physical complaints, particularly lower back pain, which had been a common issue due to the manual labor involved in fertilizing. The tool proved to be easy to construct, requiring minimal technical knowledge, and the farmers were able to adopt the technology independently. The high rate of adoption among farmers further emphasizes the tool’s potential for widespread use. The success of this program also suggests that this simple, affordable technology could be replicated in other agricultural regions, benefiting more communities by improving work efficiency, reducing physical strain, and fostering a sustainable approach to farming practices.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most common oral mucosal diseases, characterized by recurrent and painful ulcerations of the mobile or non-keratinized oral mucosa. These lesions are often found on the tongue, labial, and buccal mucosa. Clinically, RAS is divided into three types: minor, major, and herpetiform. The minor type is the most common and has smaller lesions, while the major type has larger lesions and often leaves scars. The herpetiform type is characterized by numerous small lesions appearing simultaneously. Factors influencing the immunological response in RAS include genetic predisposition, viral and bacterial infections, food allergies, vitamin and microelement deficiencies, systemic diseases, stress, and hormonal disorders. Several studies have shown that these factors can trigger or worsen the occurrence of RAS lesions. In addition, emotional and physical stress can contribute to increasing the frequency or duration of ulceration. A 36-year-old female patient presented with pain on the inside of the lower lip that had lasted for 10 days. An intraoral examination revealed a unilateral, yellowish-white ulcer on the inner lower lip surrounded by a distinct, reddish erythema. The lesion was approximately 2-3 mm in size, single in size, soft in consistency, and symptomatic. Based on these findings, the treatment plan includes a complete blood count (CBC), which measures various blood components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This examination is necessary to obtain further information regarding the cause of RAS in this patient. RAS is a multifactorial lesion that can occur in the oral mucosa. Supportive tests such as a complete blood count (CBC) are very useful in establishing the diagnosis and providing further guidance in planning appropriate therapy. Appropriate medication is expected to help the patient recover from complaints and prevent recurrence.   Keywords : Recurrent Apthous Stomatitis, Laboratory, Stress

Childbirth is a natural physiological process, but it is often accompanied by intense pain, especially during the first stage, the cervical dilation phase. This pain arises from uterine contractions, cervical dilation, and fetal pressure on the pelvic structures. For primiparous mothers, this experience of childbirth is a first-time experience that can cause anxiety, tension, and even trauma if not managed properly. The research design used in this study was a quasi-experimental study with a two-group pretest-posttest. The sample size in this study was 38 participants: 19 in the intervention group and 19 in the control group, using a simple random sampling technique. The data analysis used was the t-dependent and t-independent tests. The results of the study obtained the characteristics of the intervention group respondents, most of the respondents were aged 30-35 years as many as 8 people (40.1%), parity of 2 children as many as 8 people (38.5%), and education level was high school as many as 14 people (73.7%). While in the control group most of the respondents were aged 30-35 years as many as 7 people (32.8%), parity of 2 children) as many as 9 people (40.5%), and education level was high school as many as 18 people (94.7%). The intensity of pain in the intervention group before effleurage massage was an average of 6.26 and after an average of 5.74 while in the control group before massage was an average of 6.97 and after an average of 5.83. The results of the dependent t-test of pain intensity before and after effleurage massage in the intervention group obtained a P value of 0.000 and in the control group before and after massage obtained a P value of 0.006. The results of the independent t-test can be concluded that there is a significant difference after the effleurage massage method was carried out in the intervention group, namely a P value of 0.001. From the results of this study, it is known that there is an effect of the effleurage massage method on reducing the intensity of labor pain in the active phase of the first stage of labor in mothers inpartu. Therefore, it is recommended that midwives apply the effleurage massage method as an intervention to reduce pain in the care of mothers in normal labor.   Keywords: ,
