Postpartum mothers are vulnerable to several problems during the puerperium, such as fatigue, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, sexual problems, physical functioning and dissatisfaction with partner support that can affect their quality of life. The aim of this systematic review is to explore the effect of exercise on postpartum women’s quality of life. Comprehensive searches including experimental studies (including RCTs and non-randomized trials) from several databases, namely Scopus, PubMed, and Science-Direct, were used to search for scientific contributions published between 2009 and 2019. The articles are identified using the relevant keywords. This systematic review is guided by PRISMA. Fourteen of the 636 articles met both the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The postpartum exercises found in this study were Yoga, Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT), Pilates, Postnatal Exercise, Aerobic Exercise and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). This review cannot provide definitive conclusions about the best form of exercise, the suggested duration or the timing needed to improve the quality of life for postpartum women. However, Yoga and Pilates are proven to effectively improve maternal well-being because this exercise focuses on increasing the physical, psychological and social support during the postpartum period. Further research is needed to provide evidence and to strengthen the results of this systematic review.
Introduction: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the symptoms commonly experienced and it is a subjective feeling felt by cancer patients. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize how fatigue has been described from the perspective of adult cancer patients, the impact of fatigue on their quality of life, what the patient reported as contributing factors and potential coping strategies to reduce fatigue.Methods: A systematic review is in line with PRISMA guidelines. Five databases were systematically searched (Scopus, PubMed, Springerlink, ProQuest and Science Direct) from January 2009 to February 2019 for qualitative studies describing the experience of adult cancer patients using a predefined search strategy and any relevant keywords.Results: In total, 13 out of 4692 studies were included. The ages of the included patient cancer ranged from 26 to 84 years. The majority of studies used in-depth interviews and semi-structured interviews to elicit the participant’s experiences of fatigue. Four themes were identified: the perception of cancer-related fatigue, the etiology of cancer fatigue, impact and coping strategies.Conclusion: Fatigue is impactful on quality of life from the perspective of cancer patients. Future research should focus on the prospective exploration of the impact of fatigue on woman's and men's health and identifying approaches to reduce fatigue.
Sub uterine involution is one of the pathological symptoms of the postpartum period, which causes complications. This is indicated by the size of the fundus uterine, which is greater than the normal size and elongated outflow of lochia. One of the non-pharmacological methods for preventing sub uterine involution is postpartum yoga which focuses on physical and breathing exercises, strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles, and relaxation of autosuggestions. The study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of postpartum yoga on uterine involution. A quasi-experimental, pre-test and post-test with the control group was applied in this study. Thirty-eight postpartum women received postpartum yoga as the intervention group. The control group was comprised of 19 women. The gain score of uterine involution in the intervention group was 9.14 ± 1.27 and in the control group 7.20 ± 1.11. The Cohen’s effect size test is 1.63. The result of the mann whitney test showed that there was a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group with p value 0,000. The result of determination (R Square), postpartum yoga had an effect of 40.3% on uterine involution after being controlled simultaneously with parity, frequency of breastfeeding, and anxiety. Postpartum yoga is effective to strengthen the uterine muscles, facilitate blood circulation, and stimulate neurohormonal so it could accelerate uterine involution. Further studies could measure of fundus uterine daily. Future researchers can develop postpartum yoga research with other variables such as anxiety, urinary incontinence, quality of life for postpartum women, and hormonal variables including oxytocin, endorphins, and cortisol. Keywords: postpartum yoga, postpartum period, postpartum exercise, uterine involution
Introduction: Pregnancy exercise aims to prepare physically and mentally to face and prepare for childbirth. Motivation is still needed to do pregnancy exercise. The choice of method when providing health education is very important to understand the content of the material. Objective: To determine the effect of giving a pocket book on the motivation and compliance of pregnant women doing pregnancy exercise. Methods: Quasi-experimental-group pre and post-test design with control group. The research sample was pregnant women by purposive sampling with each group of 30 respondents. Measurement of motivation and compliance variables before and after the intervention with a questionnaire through the results of observations and monitoring cards. Data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate using Chi square test. Results: In the intervention group, there was a significant difference in maternal motivation (p-value=0.001) and pregnant women's adherence to exercise during pregnancy (p-value=0.042). While in the control group there was no difference in maternal motivation (p-value = 0.214), but there was a significant difference in the compliance of pregnant women in doing pregnancy exercise (p-value=0.000). Conclusion: Provision of pocket books is effective in increasing the motivation and compliance of mothers in doing pregnancy exercise. Future research can design tools that are more practical and effective to monitor compliance and evaluate the effectiveness of pregnancy exercise on the delivery process.
ABSTRAKGizi buruk dapat terjadi pada semua kelompok umur, Prevalensi berat badan kurang sangat tinggi di NTB melebihi 30 % sehingga perlu lebih diperhatikan pada kelompok bayi dan balita usia 0 - 2 tahun yang merupakan masa tumbuh kembang yang optimal (golden period). Penanganan secara nonfarmakologis salah satunya pijat bayi berbasis budaya Sasak (OBISA) sangat diperlukan untuk membantu meningkatkan berat badan bayi dan mencegah terjadinya kurang gizi pada bayi. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka kami bermitra dengan Puskesmas Cakranegara, Puskesmas Tanjung Karang dan Puskesmas Karang Pule, melaksanakan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dengan metode yang digunakan adalah ceramah, diskusi tanya jawab, konseling, demonstrasi, dan pemeriksaan antropometri. Pada akhir kegiatan setelah dilakukan pemantauan pelaksanaan Pijat bayi berbasis budaya Sasak ini dirangkaikan dengan pemberian makanan tambahan pendamping ASI selama 3 bulan menunjukkan peningkatan berat badan bayi dengan status gizi kurang sebelumnya berat badan bayi rata-rata 6,69±0,547 meningkat setelah intervensi pijat bayi OBISA menjadi 7,67±1,261 dan menunjukkan peningkatan status gizi bayi menjadi status gizi baik sekitar 63.3%. Diharapkan dengan adanya kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dapat memberikan pendidikan kesehatan kepada masyarakat tentang pijat bayi berbasis budaya Sasak (OBISA) mengenai cara pelatihan pijat bayi dan pemberian makanan pada bayi sesuai usia sehingga dapat mencegah terjadinya stunting.
