Combined care is a care system where babies and mothers are treated in one unit. In its implementation, the baby must always be by the mother's side from birth until he returns home. The advantages of combined care are that it promotes the use of breast milk, emotional contact between mother and baby is established from an early age, mothers can learn to take care of babies and mothers can immediately report strange baby conditions they encounter. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between postpartum maternal knowledge and the benefits of combined care at Bhayangkara Hospital Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan. This research method uses a type of analytical descriptive research with data collection techniques using a cross sectional approach and the instrument used is a questionnaire. The population of this study is all postpartum mothers at Bhayangkara Hospital Banjarmasin with a sampling technique using accidental sampling, with a sample of 30 respondents. The results obtained from the bivariate analysis of the chisquare statistical test showed that the value of p = 0.000 > ? = 0.05. The results obtained were that most postpartum mothers had insufficient knowledge, namely 15 people (50%) with most of them having a high school education of 14 people (46.7%), and never carried out combined care as many as 19 people (63.3%). The conclusion shows that most postpartum mothers have less knowledge about the benefits of combined care at Bhayangkara Hospital Banjarmasin. This shows that a person's level of education also affects the level of mother's knowledge.

According to the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2020, the number of maternal mortality rates (MMR) in Indonesia is still quite high, totaling 4,627 cases of maternal death. This number shows an increase compared to 2019 of 4,221 cases of maternal death (Indonesian Health Profile, 2021). Objective: To apply the theory that has been obtained at the academy with comprehensive midwifery care for pregnant women, laboring women, postpartum women, newborns, and family planning in practice using Varney and SOAP documentation, is there a gap between theory and practice. Research method: In this study the authors used a qualitative research method with a case study approach which was carried out by examining a problem through a case consisting of a single unit. Results: At the first pregnancy obstetric care visit, there was a problem of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CHD) where LiLA was 22.5 cm and also breech location. After being given counseling about high calorie balanced nutrition there was an increase in the size of LiLA by 2, 5 cm so that the mother did not experience SEZ. In the process of childbirth was done by Sectio Caesarea. In the postpartum period there was no complication in the postpartum period. Newborn was normal, no problems. In family planning, Mrs. M chose to use a 3-year family planning implant. Conclusion: During the assistance to Mrs. M, the health problems experienced by Mrs. M, especially the incidence of SEZ in pregnant women can be resolved, and there is a gap between theory and practice related to the size of LiLA and the height of the mother.

Age is a risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage, according to Rahmawati's research. An association between age and bleeding due to uterine atony was also found. Mothers aged 20 to 35 years have a 12 times higher risk of experiencing postpartum hemorrhage than mothers aged 20 to 35 years (Edah, 2019). Age parity is also a risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage. Parity refers to the number of children born to a mother (both born alive or dead). Mothers with three children are more at risk of bleeding after delivery than mothers with parity 1 to 3. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between age and parity and the amount of bleeding that occurs in mothers who have just given birth. The literature review method was used in this study. Various scientific articles and research reports discussing risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage are thoroughly explained. The results showed that older maternal age (above 35 years) and high parity (giving birth more than once) increased the risk of postnatal bleeding. These results suggest that mothers with these characteristics should be given special attention to reduce the risk of these complications by obtaining appropriate education, supervision during pregnancy, and appropriate birth planning.

Postpartum hemorrhage is a serious complication that can occur after delivery and is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. This literature review aims to analyze postpartum hemorrhage as a major risk factor for anemia in postpartum mothers. The method used was Systematic Literature Review with a literature research approach using the Google Scholar database. The analysis of eight articles showed that anemia during pregnancy had a significant association with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, with a risk of up to 45.7 times greater than mothers without anemia. Other contributing factors included type of delivery, where sectiocaesarea increased the risk of postpartum anemia compared to normal delivery (p=0.004). In conclusion, anemia is a significant risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage that requires early detection, nutritional status monitoring, and comprehensive antenatal care to prevent complications in postpartum women.

Maternal health remains a major global challenge, particularly in developing countries where mothers are still highly vulnerable during childbirth. Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality, accounting for approximately 25% of maternal deaths worldwide, and commonly occurs within the first 24 hours after delivery. This study aims to identify factors associated with postpartum hemorrhage at Bakti Timah Pangkalpinang Hospital during 2022–2023. The research applied a case-control design using secondary data obtained from medical records. The study population consisted of 1,002 mothers who gave birth at the hospital, with a sample of 104 respondents divided into 52 case subjects (mothers who experienced postpartum hemorrhage) and 52 control subjects (mothers who did not experience postpartum hemorrhage). Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed significant relationships between maternal age (p=0.002; OR=3.600; 95% CI: 1.548–8.371), parity (p=0.000; OR=0.194; 95% CI: 0.079–0.477), and anemia (OR=5.099; 95% CI: 1.940–13.399) with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage. The study concludes that mothers aged under 20 years and over 35 years, multiparous mothers, and mothers with anemia have a higher risk of experiencing postpartum hemorrhage.

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of oxytocin massage on breast milk production in postpartum mothers. This research employed a quasi-experimental approach, specifically utilizing a pretest-posttest control group design. The study population consisted of all normal postpartum mothers receiving care at a Midwifery Independent Practice located in Kesugihan District, Cilacap Regency. A total of 30 participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to determine statistical significance. Prior to the intervention, the average breast milk production was measured at 22.82 cc/ml. Following the administration of oxytocin massage using fennel oil, the average milk volume significantly increased to 87.58 cc/ml. These results indicate that oxytocin massage is an effective intervention for enhancing breast milk production in postpartum mothers.  

IMD is the process of giving milk to a baby one hour after birth. In Indonesia, the proportion of the IMD population has still not reached the set target. The IMD coverage target in Indonesia in 2019 is 50%. Based on data from the Bantul District Health Service in 2022, the percentage of newborns who received IMD was 83%. The IMD target for Bantul Regency was 85.5%, so this number has not been able to meet the target. The aim of this research is to understand the relationship between Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD) and the smooth production of breast milk in postpartum mothers at PMB Tatik Suprihatin. The method used is a quantitative analytical study with a cross sectional design. This research used 40 respondents selected using the total sampling method. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed univariately and bivariately, with the chi-square statistical test.

Breast milk contains nutritional components and antibodies that are important for the development, immunity and long-term health of babies. However, not all babies get breast milk from their mothers. This can be caused by low breast milk production and irregular breast milk release. Warm compresses are one method of stimulating breast muscles that can increase breast milk production. The type of research used is a quasi-experimental one group pretest posttest. The study population was all postpartum mothers in the PMB Lismarini area with low breast milk production problems. The sampling technique in this study used purposive sampling. Warm compresses were carried out for 7 days with a duration of 10-15 minutes before breastfeeding. The statistical test used was Wilcoxon. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed a p value of 0.003 ≤ 0.05, which means that there is an effect of warm breast compresses on the smoothness of breast milk release. It is expected that health workers will increase educational activities related to the management of irregular breast milk release, one of which is the warm compress method.  

Based on the 2018 Riskesdas results, the proportion of breastfeeding patterns for babies aged 0-5 months in Indonesia is 37.3% exclusive breastfeeding, 9.3% partial breastfeeding and 3.3% predominant breastfeeding. Predominant breastfeeding is breastfeeding the baby but giving a little water or a water-based drink, for example tea, as a prelacteal food/drink before the milk comes in. Meanwhile, partial breastfeeding is breastfeeding a baby and giving artificial food other than breast milk such as formula milk, porridge or other food before the baby is 6 months old, whether given continuously or as prelacteal food. North Sumatra Province Nutrition Program Data in 2018. The percentage of exclusive breastfeeding for babies 0-6 months in North Sumatra in 2018 was 65.57 percent, an increase compared to the percentage of exclusive breastfeeding in 2017, namely 54.4 percent (Sumatra Provincial Health Service, 2017). 2018). In the breastfeeding process, problems sometimes arise that can prevent giving breast milk to babies. Problems that mothers often experience when breastfeeding include inverted nipples, swollen breasts, sore and painful nipples, blocked milk ducts, breast inflammation and insufficient milk production (Purwoastuti, 2015). There are many non-pharmacological methods that can help postpartum mothers increase breast milk production, ranging from marmet massage, oxytocin massage, Woolwich massage to areola and rolling massage. Currently, based on the results of related research, there are non-pharmacological methods that are cheaper, easier, non-invasive and acceptable to respondents and without side effects. Nursing interventions that can be applied to help increase lactation in post partum mothers are the SPEOS method (Endorphin, Oxytocin and Suggestive Massage Stimulation).

This study examines the relationship between Kegel exercises and the healing of perineal wounds in postpartum mothers who underwent normal delivery. Perineal wounds, a common outcome of vaginal childbirth, can lead to discomfort and complications if not properly managed. Kegel exercises, known for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, may also play a crucial role in accelerating the healing process of perineal wounds. This research involved a sample of postpartum mothers who were instructed to perform Kegel exercises regularly. Data were collected through clinical observations and self-reported healing experiences over a specified period. The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between the regular practice of Kegel exercises and the expedited healing of perineal wounds. Mothers who adhered to the exercise regimen reported reduced pain, faster wound closure, and improved overall postpartum recovery. These results suggest that Kegel exercises should be recommended as a routine postpartum practice to promote faster healing and enhance the well-being of new mothers. Further research is recommended to explore the underlying mechanisms and to establish standardized guidelines for the implementation of Kegel exercises in postpartum care.
