Background: Patients with Chronic Renal Failure undergoing Hemodialysis (HD) have various health problems, one of which is skin manifestations. Dry skin is described in the majority of patients with Renal Failure and is suspected to be a significant pathogenic factor in pruritus and may increase itching intensity in CRF patients. It was found that 52% of patients who underwent HD had dry skin (xerosis). Dry skin that appears in CRF patients with hemodialysis is usually caused by atrophy of the sebaceous glands, impaired external secretory function, and impaired hydration of the stratum corneum. Purpose: to increase skin moisture in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis Methods: This community service is carried out by providing VCO and teaching massage stroking techniques. VCO is applied to the skin twice a day for 4 weeks followed by massage. Results: Of the 53 patients, 60.37% of patients experienced an increase in skin moisture, 16.98% of patients had a decrease in skin moisture levels and 22.64% could not be evaluated Conclusion: Routinely apply VCO twice a day for 4 weeks, experience an increase in the value of skin moisture. Meanwhile, in patients who did not apply regularly, there was a slight increase compared to patients who did not apply VCO at all. Oily skin and the smell of coconut oil are the reasons for patients not to routinely give VCO.

The puerperal period is also called the post partum or puerperium period, which is the time between the birth of the baby and the placenta leaving the uterus until the return of the reproductive organs to a normal state as before childbirth. The puerperium lasts six weeks. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on breastfeeding in post partum mothers in the post maternal partum (PMP) room at Bumiayu Health Center, Brebes Regency 2021. The research method used is pre-experiment (experimental activity that aims to determine an effect that arises as a result of certain treatments) using one-group pretest-post test design, namely an experimental design that uses one group of subjects and takes measurements before and after treatment. on the subject. This design is to determine the effects before and after treatment. The analysis in this study used the t-test. From the results of statistical testing using the T-test, the significance value was 0.000 (p <0.05). So it can be concluded statistically Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected, meaning that it can be concluded that there is an effect of oxytocin massage therapy on breastfeeding in post partum mothers at Bumiayu Health Center. In connection with the results of this study, it is hoped that post partum mothers with the help of their husbands or families at home can inform the surrounding community so that they can increase their knowledge and insight to apply oxytocin massage as a solution to overcome the problem of unsanitary breastfeeding.

Perkembangan merupakan perubahan yang terjadi pada diri individu dengan bertambahnya kemampuan dan fungsi tubuh dari yang sederhana ke yang lebih kompleks, sebagai hasil dari proses pematangan. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui Pengaruh Pijat Bayi Terhadap Peningkatan Motorik Kasar Pada Bayi Usia 3-6 Bulan di BPM Suriyanti, S.ST Makassar. Desain Penelitian ini adalah eksperimen metode Pre Test-Post Test Control Group Design, populasi penelitian ini berjumlah 100 bayi di BPM Suriyanti, S.ST Makassar dan sampel berjumlah 30 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 15 orang (50%) yang mendapatkan pijat bayi, terdapat 14 bayi (93,3%) yang motorik kasanya meningkat dan 1 bayi (6,7 %) yang tidak meningkat. Sedangkan yang tidak di lakukan pijat bayi sebanyak 15 bayi (50%), terdapat 2 orang motorik kasarnya meningkat (13,3%) dan 13 bayi (86,7%) yang tidak meningkat. Dengan menggunakan uji Mann-Whitney dan wilcokxon, menunjukkan bahwa setelah diuji wilcoxon nilai ? Value pretest-posttest dari kelompok perlakuan adalah 0,000 (<0,05), sedangkan nilai ? Value pretes-posttest pada kelompok kontrol 0.039 (<0,05). Sedangkan setelah diuji Mann whitney didapatkan hasil ? = 0,000 (<0,05). Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa ?<?, sehingga Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima. yang artinya ada pengaruh pijat bayi terhadap peningkatan motoric kasar pada bayi usia 3-6 bulan
