This study aims to make a balm formulation from lemongrass essential oil as aromatherapy and to find the results of a physical evaluation of a balm made from lemongrass essential oil. This research uses the experimental method. The research was conducted at the STIKES Bhakti Pertiwi Pharmacy Laboratory, Luwu Raya Palopo. Data obtained from observations and results of laboratory examinations were computerized and presented in tabular form with explanations. The results showed that the preparation of lemongrass leaf balm, which included organoleptic tests, homogeneous tests, pH similarity tests, and irritation tests, resulted in several conclusions. First, formula A, with a concentration of 15% citronella essential oil, meets the requirements for topical balm preparation. Second, formula B, containing 20% citronella essential oil, meets the requirements for topical balm preparation. Third, formula C with a concentration of 25% citronella essential oil does not meet the requirements for topical balm preparation because the preparation undergoes separation between solid and liquid preparations. Therefore, it is recommended for further research to focus on observing the concentration of 25% citronella essential oil so that it can be successfully used as a balsam preparation using laboratory equipment. That is more supportive or can be combined with other chemical substances to make it more homogeneous. In addition, further research is needed regarding more efficient packaging so that it can be easily used by patients, namely in the form of balm sticks, so that the general public likes the aroma of lemongrass. Furthermore, research is needed on the storability test of lemongrass balm formulations.
本研究的目的是用香茅精油制作香脂配方作为芳香疗法，并对香茅精油制成的香脂进行物理评价。本研究采用实验方法。这项研究是在Luwu Raya Palopo的STIKES Bhakti Pertiwi药房实验室进行的。从观察和实验室检查结果中获得的数据被计算机化，并以表格形式呈现，并附有解释。结果表明，通过感官试验、均质性试验、pH相似试验和刺激性试验，得出了柠檬香叶香膏制备过程中的若干结论。首先，配方A中香茅精油的浓度为15%，满足外用香脂制剂的要求。二是配方B，含20%香茅精油，满足外用香脂配制要求。第三，C式香茅精油浓度为25%，由于该制剂发生固液分离，不符合外用香脂制剂的要求。因此，建议进一步的研究重点是观察25%香茅精油的浓度，以便利用实验室设备成功地作为香脂制剂使用。它的支撑力更强或者可以与其他化学物质结合使其更均匀。此外，需要进一步研究更有效的包装，使其易于患者使用，即以香脂棒的形式，使公众喜欢柠檬草的香气。此外，还需要对香茅香脂制剂的储存性试验进行研究。

This study aims to determine the factors influencing pregnant mothers to give birth by cesarean section without medical indication. This research is analytic with a cross-sectional study approach. Data were collected by survey method. This research was conducted at the Regional General Hospital dr. Zainoel Abidin in 2014. The population of this study was all pregnant mothers, with a total sample of 399 people. This study used univariate, bivariate, and multivariate data analysis using Chi-Square. The results showed that 60.7% of pregnant mothers chose to give birth by cesarean section without medical indication. In this case, the factors influencing the pregnant mother include a history of giving birth by cesarean section (p = 0.010) and education (p = 0.000). The most dominant variable is education (OR = 2, 499), which means a 2.5 times greater chance of a pregnant mother choosing to give birth by cesarean section without medical indication. Therefore, it is recommended for pregnant mothers and their families to increase their knowledge about giving birth by cesarean section. In addition, pregnant mothers should choose to give birth by cesarean section with a medical indication.
