Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and may result in various complications during pregnancy and childbirth. In Tegal Regency, preeclampsia contributed to 27% of maternal deaths in 2024; therefore, studies on childbirth characteristics among mothers with this condition are needed. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of childbirth events in mothers with preeclampsia at Dr. Soeselo Slawi Regional Hospital, Tegal Regency. A descriptive design with a retrospective approach was used by reviewing the medical records of 202 mothers who delivered with preeclampsia during 2025. Data were analyzed univariately and presented as frequency distributions and percentages. The results showed that most mothers underwent operative delivery (62.38%), while spontaneous and induced labor accounted for 37.13% and 0.50%, respectively. Most deliveries occurred at preterm gestational age (62.38%), followed by term (36.14%) and postterm (1.49%) deliveries. Maternal and obstetric complications included bleeding (6.93%), fetal distress (4.95%), eclampsia (1.49%), and HELLP syndrome (0.99%). Most neonates had normal birth weight (82.18%) and did not require NICU care (95.05%), although low birth weight (17.82%) and NICU admission (4.95%) were still identified. The maternal clinical condition was dominated by blood pressure of 140–159/90–109 mmHg (75.74%). Proteinuria was found in 46.53% of respondents, with moderate proteinuria (+2) as the predominant category (38.30%). In conclusion, childbirth among mothers with preeclampsia was dominated by operative and preterm deliveries. These findings emphasize the importance of early detection and optimal management of preeclampsia to reduce maternal and neonatal complications and improve the quality of maternal-infant health services overall.

Background: Women and newborns are vulnerable groups that must be given special attention in disaster situations such as war. The Israeli military aggression in Gaza, Palestine, has been ongoing since October 2023. Besides resulting in tens of thousands of direct war-related morbidities, vulnerable demographics such as pregnant women, maternity and newborns (neonates) in Gaza confront severe health hazards amid the conflict.

Sectio caesarea is a common surgical procedure to deliver a baby when normal delivery is not possible or risky. Postoperatively, patients often experience acute pain that can interfere with the recovery process. The benson relaxation technique is a nonpharmacological method that has been shown to be effective in reducing pain through a relaxation and patient confidence approach. This study uses a case study approach on Mrs. T, a post-sectio caesarea patient at Harapan Bunda Hospital, Batam City. Nursing care is carried out comprehensively for three days, including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. The main intervention was the administration of benzone relaxation techniques for 10–15 minutes every day. After three days of applying the Benson relaxation technique, Mrs. T's pain intensity decreased from a scale of 6 (moderate pain) to a scale of 2 (mild pain). Patients show increased comfort, ability to be active, and decreased expressions of pain such as grimacing. These results support previous findings that benzon relaxation is effective as a nonpharmacological therapy in reducing postoperative pain. This technique can be a safe and easy-to-apply alternative in nursing practice, especially for post-sectio caesarean patients.

Childbirth is a series of natural processes that trigger various changes in the mother's body so that she can deliver her baby through the birth canal. Perineal stiffness can actually be anticipated and prevented early in pregnancy, one way is through physical exercises such as pregnancy yoga. Pregnancy yoga has many benefits, especially in alleviating complaints during pregnancy, reducing anxiety, improving sleep quality, and preparing the physical condition before childbirth by strengthening and increasing the elasticity of the pelvic floor muscles, so that the birth process becomes easier. This study aims to analyze the effect of prenatal gentle yoga on the incidence of perineal tears in mothers who will give birth in the work area of ​​the Tiley Health Center on Morotai Island. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a posttest control design. The sample used in the study consisted of mothers giving birth who met certain inclusion criteria, with a total of 36 pregnant women. The instruments used in this study were the Kegel Exercise SOP observation sheet and the assessment of the level of perineal tears. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney statistical test. The results showed a distribution of respondents regarding Kegel exercises: 18 respondents (50%) performed Kegel exercises and 18 respondents (50%) did not. The highest rates of perineal rupture were grade I and grade II, with 13 respondents (36.1%) each. The resulting p-value was 0.0001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of Kegel exercises on the rate of perineal rupture in primiparous women.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of performance management at the micro–enterprise AMANAH YOGURT, located in Candimulyo, Kiringan, Boyolali. The business employs 11 workers with specific task divisions: 7 in packaging, 1 in production, 2 in marketing responsible for promotion and advertising, and 1 supervisor who monitors the production process while also assisting in production ac,tivities.

Background: Normal labor is influenced by Power, His, maternal strength, external pelvic passage, pelvic shape, pelvic width, and perineal elasticity, which affect labor.Objective: To determine the effect of perineal massage and peanut ball on labor progress.Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with two groups and a posttest only. The sample consisted of 30 mothers in labor, divided into two groups: 15 respondents received perineal massage and 15 respondents received perineal massage and used a peanut ball. Data were analyzed using an Independent T-Test. Results: The study showed that the average duration of the first stage of active labor in the perineal massage group was 6.87 hours, while in the combination group of perineal massage and peanut ball it was 5.20 hours. Statistical testing showed a value of p = 0.012 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Perineal massage and peanut balls are effective in accelerating labor as non-pharmacological midwifery interventions in labor management.
