Background: Uterine subinvolution occurs because the uterus cannot contract properly, causing bleeding, leading to death. Pineapple fruit is one of the herbal plants that can prevent uterine subinvolution and accelerate uterine involution. This study aimed to determine pineapple's effect on the reduction of uterine fundal height in postpartum mothers in Bengkulu City. Subjects and Method: This was a quasiexperiment. This study was conducted in Bengkulu City, Bengkulu, and using maternal postpartum injected oxytocin in the management stage III with one intervention group, namely the given juice pineapple. The sample used as many as 32 mothers postpartum in Bengkulu were taken by purposive sampling, by predetermined criteria. The dependent variable was uterine fundal height. The independent variables were pineapples juice, age, parity, early mobilization, and early initiation of breastfeeding. Data collection was carried out by the means of the direct interview using a questionnaire and observation sheet. The data were analyzed using independent t-test. Results: The bivariate analysis test results using the independent t-test showed that the group that consumed pineapples experienced a decrease in uterine fundal height for three days more than the control group. Pineapples juice (Mean= 2.55; SD= 1.66), without pineapples juice (Mean= 8.39; SD= 1.48; p <0.001). Age for interventions group, (Mean= 33.19; SD= 7.57) and control group (Mean= 27.56; SD= 8.45; p= 0.057). Parity for interventions group, (Mean= 2.38; SD= 1.45) and control group, (Mean= 2.12; SD= 1.31), p= 0.613. Early mobilization for interventions group, (Mean= 0.84; SD= 0.37) and control group, (Mean= 1.26; SD= 0.58), p= 0.022. Early initiation of breastfeeding for interventions group, (Mean= 16.44; SD= 6.64) and control group, (Mean= 16.38; SD= 5.69), p= 0.978. Conclusion: Pineapple juice and early mobilization affect lowering a uterine fundal height in mothers postpartum three days and can help speed up uterine involution in postpartum mother in Bengkulu City, Bengkulu.
Abstract— ASI (Breast Milk) is a safe and suitable food for babies because it can prevent babies from the risk of gastrointestinal system disorders. Various methods used by postpartum mothers to increase milk production are Oxytocin Massage, IMD, Breast Care, frequency of breastfeeding (Bobak, 2005) and katuk leaf extract (ASI Fit) (Istiqomah and Setiawandari, 2017). The design of this study is quasi-experimental. The sample of this study was 30 respondents divided into 2 groups: 15 postpartum mothers given ASI Fit and 15 postpartum mothers given oxytocin massage. The research instrument used observation sheets. The analysis in this study used the Mann-Whitney test. The results showed the length of Transition ASI expenditure on postpartum mothers after being given Fit ASI and ASI massage for 1.87 days (1-3 days), the duration of Transition ASI expenditure on postpartum mothers after oxytocin massage which was 2.67 days (2-7 days) 4 days), there was a difference in the duration of expenditure for Fit ASI breastfeeding and oxytocin massage for postpartum mothers with p-value = 0.003 (p <0.05), transitional ASI expenditure in the Fit ASI group was faster than 0.800 days compared to the oxytocin group.

Introduction: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related complication causing maternal morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the relationship between anaemia and family income, and maternal death from preeclampsia in Jember district. Materials and Methods: Case-control, using medical maternal autopsy verbal, from January 2016 to December 2019. 43 mortality cases from preeclampsia, and 43 controls were included in this study. Chi-square test was to test the relationship between anaemia and family income, and maternal death from preeclampsia. Results: Mothers who died from preeclampsia were more likely to have anaemia (83.72%), and being low income (86.05%). Anaemia (OR 3.703, 95% CI p-value 0.009) and low income (OR 4.032, 95% CI, p –value 0.007) were associated with preeclampsia maternal mortality. Conclusions: To reduce the prevalence of death from preeclampsia, preventive measurement for anaemia during pregnancy should be undertaken. In addition, women with low income during pregnancy should be encouraged to have health insurance.
