Non-Pharmacological Approaches in the Management of Primary Dysmenorrhea: A Literature Review
No full textBackground: The incidence of primary dysmenorrhea is a condition experienced by almost all adolescent women and of childbearing age, negatively impacting their quality of life and productivity. Although pharmacological treatments such as NSAIDs are frequently used, many individuals seek non-pharmacological alternatives to avoid long-term side effects. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of complementary therapies, including acupressure, herbal medicine, and yoga, in managing primary dysmenorrhea.
Method: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using the PRISMA approach, selecting relevant articles from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar based on specific keywords. Articles that met the inclusion criteria, such as publication range (2020-2025) and topic relevance, were further analyzed.
Results: From a review of 17 articles that met the inclusion criteria, it was found that yoga can significantly reduce pain intensity by increasing relaxation and improving blood circulation in the pelvic area. Acupressure therapy, particularly on the SP6 point, has been proven effective in reducing menstrual pain by increasing the release of beta-endorphins. In addition, consumption of herbal medicines such as ginger has anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce the production of prostaglandins, one of the main causes of menstrual pain.
Conclusion: Non-pharmacological therapies—such as yoga, acupressure, and herbal remedies—are effective, safe, and affordable alternatives to pharmacological management. It is recommended that healthcare professionals, particularly midwives, provide education and facilitate the implementation of these complementary therapies as part of promotive and preventive efforts to address menstrual pain in adolescents and women of childbearing age

Anthropometric Characteristics in Newborns with a History of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in Pregnancy: A Descriptive Study
No full textBackground: Chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is a nutritional condition characterized by an upper arm circumference (UAC) of less than 23.5 cm, reflecting a long-term deficit in energy and protein intake. CED can increase the risk of low birth weight (LBW) and stunting in infants. Therefore, monitoring the nutritional status of pregnant women is important to prevent infant growth disorders. The objective of this study was to determine the anthropometric characteristics of newborns with a history of CE during pregnancy at the Bayat Community Health Center, Klaten District.
Methods: This study used a quantitative descriptive design. The population consisted of all infants with a history of KEK pregnancy at the Bayat Community Health Center from January to December 2021. The sampling technique used total sampling of 112 infants. The research instrument used medical record documentation sheets, and data analysis was performed univariately using frequency distribution.
Results: Most infants had normal weight (86.6%), normal length (73.2%), and normal head circumference (93.8%). Maternal characteristics showed that the majority were aged 20–35 years (91.1%), had a high school education (55.4%), were unemployed (76.8%), had an interbirth interval of < 2 years (59.8%), were primiparous (52.7%), had Hb levels ≥ 11 g/dl (86.6%), and had mature pregnancies (93.8%).
Conclusion: The anthropometric measurements of newborns tended to be normal and were related to maternal characteristics, especially birth interval ≥ 2 years, which had the highest proportion of babies with normal weight (81.3%), length (67.9%), and head circumference (79.5%). It is recommended that health workers increase monitoring of nutrition in pregnant women with KEK and educate them on the ideal birth interval to support optimal infant growth and development
