Combination of ROSATIN Massage with Endorphins on Postpartum Mother's Anxiety Levels and Breast Milk Production in Mataram City

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is intended to guarantee the fulfillment of the baby's rights for 6 months by paying attention to growth and development, so that every mother can give exclusive breastfeeding to the baby. Low milk production in the first days of childbirth is an obstacle to breastfeeding. The affecting factor is due to the mother's anxiety factor in facing childbirth, so the reflexes that function to produce breast milk do not work correctly. Therefore, non-pharmacological management to reduce anxiety and increase breast milk production is by combining ROSATIN massage and endorphin massage. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the combination of ROSATIN massage and endorphin massage on breast milk production in postpartum mothers. The method used is a quasi-experimental research design with a one-group pre- and post-design. The study involved 30 postpartum maternal respondents and was conducted in Mataram City. The bivariate analysis of this study used the paired t-test to see the significance between before and after the intervention. The results showed that the average level of maternal anxiety before being given a combination of ROSATIN massage and endorphin massage was 70.50, while after being given the intervention, it decreased to 43.10. For breast milk production before the intervention was given it was 25.33 and after it increased to 96.57. The analysis of anxiety levels and milk production obtained a p-value of 0.000 < α (0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant influence on the reduction of anxiety levels and the increase in milk production after being given a combination of ROSATIN massage and endorphin massage in postpartum mothers. So that with the decrease in maternal anxiety, it is hoped that the production of breast milk will be smooth, thereby increasing the success of exclusive breastfeeding.
