THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OXYWICH MASSAGE (OM) ON PROLACTIN HORMONE LEVELS AND BREAST MILK PRODUCTION IN NORMAL POSTPARTUM MOTHERS
Abstrak
Optimal breast milk production is essential to support the growth and health of infants. One method that can increase breast milk production is through massage stimulation. Oxywich Massage, a combination of oxytocin massage and Woolwich massage, is believed to increase prolactin hormone levels that play a role in breast milk production. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of OM on prolactin hormone levels and breast milk production in normal postpartum mothers. This study used a true experimental design with a randomized pretest-posttest with control group design. The sample consisted of normal postpartum mothers on days 2 to 6 who were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received OM twice a day for five days, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Prolactin hormone levels were measured using the ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) method, while breast milk production was measured with a standard measuring cup after pumping. Statistical analysis showed that there was a significant increase in prolactin hormone levels and breast milk production in the intervention group compared to the control group (p <0.05). Further analysis indicated that the OM intervention had a positive effect after controlling for confounding variables such as breastfeeding frequency, parity, and nutritional intake. Oxywich Massage was proven to be effective in increasing prolactin hormone levels and breast milk production in normal postpartum mothers. This technique can be recommended as a non-pharmacological method in supporting successful breastfeeding.
