  • JURNAL KEBIDANAN KESTRA (JKK)
  • Meria Turnip

Uterine involution is an important physiological process after childbirth that indicates the recovery of the uterus to its normal size and function. However, suboptimal involution can cause serious complications in postpartum mothers. Non-pharmacological approaches, specifically postpartum exercise and oxytocin massage, are recognized for their potential to facilitate uterine involution. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of these two interventions among postpartum mothers at the Matahari Pratama Clinic. Adopting a quasi-experimental framework with a two-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 20 participants divided equally into two intervention groups. Uterine involution progress was systematically monitored both prior to and following the administration of either postpartum exercise or oxytocin massage. The results 1showed that before the intervention, 7 respondents (70%) experienced abnormal uterine involution. After being given postpartum exercise, the number of respondents experiencing normal uterine involution increased to 7 people (70%). Meanwhile, after oxytocin massage, 6 respondents (60%) showed normal uterine involution conditions. The findings suggest that both postpartum exercise and oxytocin massage significantly facilitate the acceleration of uterine involution. This effectiveness is statistically supported by a significance value of (p < 0.05), confirming that these non-pharmacological interventions are viable methods for enhancing postpartum recovery. However, postpartum gymnastics has been shown to provide more optimal results than oxytocin massage. Therefore, these two interventions are recommended to be implemented routinely in postpartum care as an effort to accelerate the process of uterine involution and prevent complications.

Objective: Midwifery care today integrates both conventional and complementary services in midwifery practice. Complementary therapy in midwifery services serves as an alternative option for pregnant women, women in labor, postpartum mothers, infants, and toddlers to reduce medical interventions or pharmacological therapy. This study aims to examine the implementation of complementary therapy services in midwifery at Independent Midwife Practices (IMPs) in Denpasar City, Bali. Methods: This study employs a quantitative approach with a survey method. The population of this study consists of midwives who conduct independent midwifery practices, with a sample size of 84 independent midwifery practices. The statistical test used was the chi-square test, with a significance level of ρ < 0.05. Results: The study results indicate that nearly half 37 respondents (44.05%) have implemented complementary therapy in their Independent Midwife Practices (IMPs). The most frequently attended training among midwives was Baby Treatment (38.10%). The most commonly provided complementary services were Infant Massage (26.72%), Oxytocin Massage (19.85%), and Lactation Massage (17.56%). Bivariate analysis showed that educational background and training history were associated with the implementation of complementary therapy services in IMPs. Conclusion: Midwives are encouraged to pursue higher education and training related to maternal and child health services to enhance the range of services available in their independent practices.

This empirical descriptive case study explored the implementation of oxytocin massage to improve breast milk flow among post–Sectio Caesarea mothers in the Alamanda Ward of RSI PKU Muhammadiyah Pekajangan. Five participants were selected through purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using structured observation sheets assessing lactation indicators, clinical responses, and implementation quality over three consecutive days. Findings indicate that oxytocin massage was associated with progressive stabilization of postoperative physiological conditions, enhanced maternal readiness for breastfeeding, and consistent clinical implementation aligned with institutional standard operating procedures. The integration of structured monitoring and complete documentation supported reliable evaluation of lactation outcomes within the case-study framework. The results highlight that effective implementation quality plays a crucial role in maximizing the neurohormonal mechanisms underlying milk ejection reflexes in post-surgical mothers. These findings support the incorporation of oxytocin massage as an evidence-informed, non-pharmacological nursing intervention to optimize lactation management in post–Sectio Caesarea care settings.

  • Mar 3, 2026
  • Media Publikasi Promosi Kesehatan Indonesia (MPPKI)
  • Rosida Hi Saraha + 3 more

Introduction: Breast milk production is regulated by prolactin and oxytocin, and oxytocin massage is known to facilitate milk ejection. To address limitations of manual stimulation, an electromagnetic-assisted oxytocin massage device (PIONER) was developed to support postpartum mothers in improving breast milk flow. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the PIONER device in improving breast milk production indicators among postpartum breastfeeding mothers. Methods: A quasi-experimental repeated-measures design was conducted involving 10 postpartum breastfeeding mothers selected using purposive sampling from three community health centers in Ternate City. PIONER-assisted oxytocin massage was administered on days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, twice daily for 10 minutes. Breast milk adequacy indicators urination frequency, defecation frequency, breastfeeding frequency, infant sleep duration, and infant weight were measured on days 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA (Greenhouse–Geisser correction) with a significance level of ? = 0.05. Results: Significant time-based differences were observed for urination frequency (F = 13.500, p = 0.005), defecation frequency (F = 25.839, p < 0.001), and infant weight (F = 45.375, p < 0.001). No significant changes occurred in breastfeeding frequency or sleep duration. Confidence intervals could not be calculated because raw standard errors were not available. Conclusion: PIONER effectively improved indicators of breast milk production, particularly urinary and fecal output and infant weight gain, with no adverse effects observed during the study. Larger controlled studies are recommended to strengthen generalizability.

Difference oxytocin massage and endorphin massage against reduction in pain scale during first stage of labor
  • Feb 22, 2026
  • THE JOURNAL OF Mother and Child Health Concerns
  • Muji Iriana + 2 more

Background: Oxytocin massage is a massage along the spine to stimulate an increase in oxytocin, which serves to increase uterine contractions, promote relaxation, and reduce pain perception. Meanwhile, endorphin massage is performed with gentle massage on the back, shoulders, and arms to stimulate the production of endorphins as the body's natural analgesic. Both methods have been proven to help reduce pain, but their relative effectiveness varies, so further study is needed. Purpose: To determine the difference in effectiveness between oxytocin massage and endorphin massage on reducing the pain scale during the first stage of labour. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest–posttest approach. A sample of 40 mothers in labour was selected using purposive sampling and divided into two groups, namely the oxytocin massage group and the endorphin massage group. Pain was measured using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, followed by Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney tests for intergroup comparisons. Results: The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference in pain scale before and after oxytocin massage, with a p-value of 0.000. There was a significant difference in pain scale before and after endorphin massage, with a Wilcoxon test p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between oxytocin massage and endorphin massage in reducing the labour pain scale at RA Kartini Regional General Hospital in Jepara, with a Mann-Whitney p-value of 0.289. Suggestion: Other researchers are advised to develop additional variables such as anxiety levels and duration of labour, and to compare other non-pharmacological interventions in order to obtain different results.

Optimal postpartum care is fundamental to preventing complications, facilitating maternal recovery, and promoting mother’s independence during the puerperium. Accordingly, comprehensive and evidence-based postpartum nursing care is required. This case study aimed to apply holistic nursing care using the nursing process approach in a normal postpartum patient, Mrs N, in Arafah 2 Inpatient Ward of dr. Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital, Banda Aceh. The assessment revealed a blood pressure of 121/76 mmHg, pulse rate of 85 beats per minute, respiratory rate of 22 breaths per minute, body temperature of 36.8°C, the patient presented with a first-degree perineal rupture with-healed suture, lochia rubra, and intermittent perineal pain with a pain score of 4 during movement. The identified nursing diagnoses included postpartum discomfort, ineffective breastfeeding, and knowledge deficit related to postpartum care. Evidence-based nursing interventions consisted of breathing relaxation techniques and Qur’an recitation to reduce postpartum discomfort, oxytocin massage and breast care to enhance breast milk production, as well as nutritional counseling—particularly protein intake—and perineal wound care to improve postpartum self-care abilities. The evaluation demonstrated that postpartum discomfort was resolved, ineffective breastfeeding was partially resolved, and knowledge deficit was resolved. Comprehensive and evidence-based postpartum nursing care is recommended to enhance maternal comfort, support successful breastfeeding, and promote optimal recovery during the postpartum period.

Continuity of care in midwifery refers to comprehensive services provided continuously from pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, breastfeeding, newborn care, and family planning. This study aimed to evaluate the application of oxytocin massage for postpartum mothers within the framework of continuity of care. The study employed a case report design using continuous midwifery management based on scientific evidence and was conducted from August to November 2024. The subject was a pregnant woman at 37 weeks of gestation who was followed until participation in postpartum family planning. The results of care were reported descriptively. During pregnancy, several problems were identified, including sleep disturbance, back pain, overweight status, mild anemia, and Braxton Hicks contractions. Intrapartum care focused on pain management using a birth ball. During the postpartum period (day 12 postpartum), insufficient breast milk production was identified. The intervention provided was oxytocin massage to improve milk production and flow. After the intervention, a significant improvement was observed, indicated by a questionnaire score increasing from 3 (poor milk flow) to 8 (adequate milk flow). In newborn care, weight loss was identified at 12 days of age, and education and counseling on infant nutrition were provided. For family planning care, Mrs. F chose an implant contraceptive method. All identified problems were successfully managed. As conclusion, continuity of care in midwifery combined with the application of oxytocin massage was effective in addressing maternal and neonatal problems, particularly in improving breast milk production and supporting successful breastfeeding outcomes.

Exclusive breastfeeding is the optimal source of nutrition for infants, providing balanced nutrients essential for growth and development. However, exclusive breastfeeding coverage in several regions remains below national targets. In Patrang District, Jember Regency, only 45.60% of infants aged 0–6 months received exclusive breastfeeding in 2021, far below the 80% target set for 2022. One contributing factor is the limited knowledge of postpartum mothers regarding breast care, which affects milk expression and production. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of galactagogue intervention in the form of edamame soy milk and oxytocin massage in increasing breast milk production among postpartum mothers. This study employed an experimental research design with a two-group pretest–posttest approach. The respondents were postpartum mothers who met the inclusion criteria and were divided into two intervention groups: the oxytocin massage group and the edamame soy milk group. The independent variables were oxytocin massage and edamame soy milk consumption, while the dependent variable was breast milk production. Breast milk production was measured indirectly through changes in infant body weight before and after the interventions. Data were analyzed using the dependent t-test. The results showed a significant increase in breast milk production in both intervention groups. In the oxytocin massage group, there was a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest measurements. Similarly, the edamame soy milk group demonstrated a significant increase in infant weight after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect on breast milk production. In conclusion, both oxytocin massage and edamame soy milk were effective in increasing breast milk production among postpartum mothers. These findings suggest that non-pharmacological interventions can be applied as supportive strategies to improve exclusive breastfeeding outcomes. Health workers are encouraged to incorporate breast care education and nutritional interventions into postpartum care to help increase exclusive breastfeeding rates.

The active phase of labor is a crucial stage that determines the progress and success of the delivery process. Prolonged labor during this phase can increase the risk of maternal complications and reduce the comfort of the laboring mother. Various non-pharmacological interventions have been developed to support the physiological progress of labor, including acupressure at the SP6 point and oxytocin massage. This study aims to analyze the differences in the effects of SP6 acupressure and oxytocin massage on the duration of the active phase of labor at the Galala Health Center in the Tidore Islands. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a comparative approach in two intervention groups. The sample consisted of 40 mothers in the first stage of active labor who met the inclusion criteria, with 20 respondents in the SP6 acupressure group and 20 respondents in the oxytocin massage group. The duration of the first stage of labor was calculated from 4 cm cervical dilation to complete 10 cm dilation and recorded using a partograph. Data were analyzed univariately to describe the distribution of labor duration and bivariately using the Mann–Whitney U test to assess the difference between the two groups. The results showed that the median duration of the first stage of labor in the SP6 acupressure group was shorter than in the oxytocin massage group. The Mann–Whitney test showed a statistically significant difference between the two intervention groups (p < 0.05). The conclusion of this study indicates that SP6 acupressure is more effective than oxytocin massage in shortening the duration of the first stage of active labor. These findings support the use of SP6 acupressure as a safe and effective nonpharmacological intervention in intrapartum midwifery care in primary health care facilities.

Colostrum, the first breast milk, contains IgA antibodies, proteins, vitamin A, and anti-infection components that are essential for building the baby's immunity, especially against gastrointestinal infections such as diarrhea. The production of colostrum varies between mothers and is influenced by the frequency and strength of the baby's sucking in the early days. Oxytocin massage on the back can stimulate oxytocin and prolactin hormones, aiding the release and increasing the production of breast milk, as well as providing a relaxing effect on the mother. This method can improve the breastfeeding process. The goal of this community service is to explain the benefits of colostrum as a source of immunity for the baby through IgA antibodies and essential nutrients, as well as to demonstrate oxytocin massage as an effective method to enhance milk release and production. The method used is a lecture with leaflet media, which is effective for delivering information. The results show that many postpartum mothers do not understand the benefits of oxytocin massage, which can hinder milk release. Counseling through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, leaflets, and educational videos successfully increased mothers' understanding of oxytocin massage, which can help with relaxation, support uterine involution, and improve milk production and release. This knowledge is expected to be applied in postpartum breastfeeding practices.

Background: Optimal breast milk production is very important in supporting the success of exclusive breastfeeding in postpartum mothers. Two interventions that are often used to increase breast milk production are breast care and oxytocin massage. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of breast care compared to breast care and oxytocin massage on increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers at the Tanasitolo Health Center, Wajo Regency, South Sulawesi. Method: This study uses a True experiment design with a posttest equivalent group design approach. The population is all postpartum mothers at the Tanasitolo Health Center. A total sampling technique was used, involving 40 postpartum mothers who were equally divided into a breast care group and a breast care plus oxytocin massage group. The participants were divided into two groups, consisting of 20 individuals in the intervention group and 20 individuals in the control group, assigned randomly. Breast milk production was assessed using the LATCH score, and data were analyzed with the Mann–Whitney test. Results: The study showed that both interventions increased breast milk production, but the average increase in breast milk production in the breast care and oxytocin massage group was higher than the breast care only group, with a p-value of 0.000 (p <0.05). Conclusion: Breast care and Oxytocin massage are more effective than breast care alone in increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers. It is expected that health workers can provide education and services related to breast care and oxytocin massage as one of the effective interventions in supporting successful lactation in postpartum mothers.

The postpartum period (puerperium) is a period that begins after the placenta is released and ends when the reproductive organs return to their original state (before pregnancy). Involution or uterine contraction is a process in which the uterus returns to its pre-pregnancy condition with a weight of about 30 grams. This process begins immediately after the placenta is born due to contractions of the smooth muscles of the uterus. The problem of uterine involution is subinvolution. Uterine subinvolution is the process of late uterine return caused by endometrial infection, residual placenta, blood clots, or uterine myoma. Efforts to prevent postpartum hemorrhage can be done since the 3rd and 4th stages of labor by administering oxytocin. This oxytocin hormone plays a very important role in the process of uterine involution. The purpose of this study was to determine the Effect of Oxytocin Massage on uterine involution in normal postpartum mothers in the Kemuning Room of Tabanan Hospital. This study used a Quasi Experiment design method with a Non Equivalent Control Group Design, namely there were two groups. used in this study were 40 respondents, divided into 2 groups. 20 respondents will be used as the intervention group and 20 more respondents will be used as the control group. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney Tests. The results of the statistical test conducted to compare uterine involution between the control and intervention groups obtained a p value = 0.041 (p <0.05) which means Ho is rejected so that it can be concluded that there is an effect of oxytocin massage on uterine involution in normal postpartum mothers in the Kemuning room of Tabanan Hospital. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that normal postpartum mothers can apply oxytocin massage to prevent bleeding and uterine subinvolution.

Oxytocin massage is a complementary intervention designed to enhance breast milk production and support breastfeeding success during the postpartum period. Insufficient milk supply and low maternal confidence are frequently reported barriers to achieving exclusive breastfeeding. This study aimed to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on breast milk production and self-efficacy among postpartum mothers. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was used. The study involved 52 participants, who were divided into an intervention group and a control group, each consisting of 26 participants, on the third day after delivery. Data were collected using an oxytocin massage checklist, a measuring cup to assess milk production, and a self-efficacy questionnaire. The Wilcoxon test with a significance level of α = 0.05 was employed for data analysis. The results indicated a significant difference in breast milk production between the intervention group and the control group, with a p-value of 0.000. A significant difference in self-efficacy was also observed, with the intervention group scoring higher than the control group, as indicated by a p-value of 0.001. These findings demonstrate that oxytocin massage effectively increases both breast milk production and maternal self-efficacy in breastfeeding. Beyond physiological benefits through oxytocin release, the intervention also enhances psychological readiness, making oxytocin massage a recommended supportive therapy for postpartum breastfeeding success.

Background: Optimal breast milk production meets infants’ nutritional needs, crucial in stunting prevention. Many postpartum mothers face insufficient milk production, which can affect infant weight gain and increase the risk of stunting. The innovation of combining oxytocin massage with Foxy Oil is expected to enhance breast milk volume, frequency of wet diapers, and infant weight gain—key indicators in stunting prevention. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with purposive sampling, involving 60 postpartum mothers: 30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 26 for univariate and bivariate data. Data normality was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and bivariate analysis with the Mann-Whitney test. Breastfeeding optimisation was assessed based on breast milk volume, number of wet diapers, and infant weight over one month in the working area of Tanjung Morawa Community Health Centre. The husband or a close family member performed an Oxytocin massage twice daily for 10–15 minutes. Results: Bivariate analysis after oxytocin massage showed significant effects on breast milk volume (p = 0.000), number of wet diapers (p = 0.000), and infant weight (p = 0.039). The analysis indicates that the combination of Foxy Oil and oxytocin massage positively affects breast milk production, frequency of wet diapers, and infant weight gain. Conclusion: Foxy Oil's innovation, combined with oxytocin massage, can be widely applied in midwifery practice to support successful exclusive breastfeeding and contribute to stunting prevention.
