The pain in labor due to contractions and the process of expelling the baby cannot be avoided by the mother. One way to reduce pain intensity non-pharmacologically is music therapy and the provision of spice drinks. music therapy can reduce stress and anxiety levels, especially during childbirth, while herbal drinks derived from ginger are analgesic, as well as cinnamon and cloves, can relieve pain. The research method is “Quasi experimental pre-post test with control group design. The intervention group was Sundanese instrumental music therapy with spice drinks and the control group was only given spice drinks, which was carried out on mothers giving birth during an active phase. The population is all mothers giving birth in BPM Bogor area. The sample size of the average difference test of two paired groups is 15 respondents in each group. The results showed a decrease in labor pain in the active phase of the first stage in the intervention group with p = 0.016. This shows that there is an effect of giving music therapy and spice drinks on the intensity of labor pain as assessed by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and there is no significant change in the decrease in labor pain during the active phase of labor, in the control group (p>0.05). There was no significant result on the length of labor with p = 0.439 (p > 0.05). This means that both the control and intervention groups did not show a difference in the time/length of labor
As many as 67.8% of adolescents are disrupted due to primary dysmenorrhoea. Dysmenorrhea can affect adolescent academic performance. Routine and regular sports activities twice or more per week have a smaller tendency to suffer from dysmenorrhea. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between physical activity patterns and dysmenorrhea. The results of the study are expected to be used as a reference for health workers in implementing prevention programs and addressing the problem patterns of activities in adolescents to overcome dysmenorrhea complaints. The study was conducted using a case control-retrospective approach. Held in July-October 2018 at SMPN 4 which was effective in carrying out extracurricular activities. Respondents in this study were eighth-grade students of Junior High School who had experienced menarche at least 6 months before doing research. The sample size was calculated using the Hypothesis test formula of two population proportions, as many 65 people for each control group and case. The sampling technique used simple random sampling. The independent variable was the pattern of physical activity, while the dependent variable was the incidence of dysmenorrhoea. Univariate and bivariable research analysis using the chi-square test. The results showed a significant effect between activity patterns (p = 0.031) and nutritional status (p = 0.015) on dysmenorrhoeal events. Adolescent girls who are not physically active have a 2,585 chance of experiencing dysmenorrhoea. Adolescent girls with poor nutritional status have a 2.76 times chance of experiencing dysmenorrhoea Suggestions teens should do regular physical activity and also maintain nutritional intake by consuming balanced nutritional food as a preventive measure for dysmenorrhea.
