Abstract

Pubic bone pain is one of the discomforts that occurs in pregnant women in the third trimester. This problem often occurs in pregnant women, especially in the third trimester. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods can be used to manage pubic bone pain. Non-pharmacological pain management can be done in several ways, including relaxation, acupressure, and prenatal yoga. Prenatal yoga is one of the modifications of hatha yoga adapted to pregnant women's conditions. This study aims to determine the effect of prenatal yoga on pregnant women in the third trimester in overcoming pubic bone pain in the control and intervention groups. The method for this study uses quasi-experimental research, which uses a pre- and post-test design with a control group design. The sample in this study amounted to 50 pregnant women in the third trimester, consisting of 25 pregnant women in the intervention group and 25 pregnant women in the control group. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. This research instrument used pain measurement with the NRS. Due to abnormal distribution, the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests, namely the Wilcoxon test. The results of the study showed that prenatal yoga affected pubic bone pain in third-trimester pregnant women, with a value of P = 0.000. Prenatal yoga was able to reduce pubic bone pain in pregnant women in the third trimester. The researcher was then able to provide both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment to pregnant women in the third trimester who experienced pubic bone pain.

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting (emesis gravidarum) are among the most common complaints during the first trimester of pregnancy, often associated with elevated levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Non-pharmacological interventions such as acupressure have been proposed as effective alternatives to manage these symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure therapy in reducing the severity of emesis gravidarum among first-trimester pregnant women. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was applied. A purposive sampling technique recruited 42 participants, divided equally into intervention (n=21) and control (n=21) groups. Acupressure therapy was administered to the intervention group at specific points, while the control group received routine antenatal care. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Acupressure therapy effectively alleviated symptoms of emesis gravidarum during the first trimester. Acupressure therapy is a beneficial, non-pharmacological intervention for reducing emesis gravidarum in early pregnancy. This technique can be integrated into maternal health services to improve comfort and wellbeing.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is one of the nutritional problems in pregnant women that can harm maternal health and fetal growth. One of the causes of the high risk of CED is the low knowledge of pregnant women related to nutrition during pregnancy. Education using booklet media is considered adequate because it presents the material concisely, clearly, and illustrated, making it easier to understand. This study aims to determine the influence of education using booklet media on pregnant women's knowledge about CEDs. This Research uses a pre-experimental design with a group pretest-posttest design. The sample amounted to 25 pregnant women who were selected using the total sampling technique. Data was collected using a CED knowledge questionnaire, while data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate using the Wilcoxon test. Before education, most (72.0%) of pregnant women's knowledge of CEDs was lacking. After education, all respondents (100%) were in the category of good knowledge. The difference in the average value of knowledge before and after education was 4.64. The results of the Wilcoxon test were obtained, p=0.000 (<0.05), which showed a significant influence of education using booklet media on increasing pregnant women's knowledge about CEDs. Education using booklet media is effective in increasing pregnant women's knowledge about CEDs. It is recommended that health workers use booklets as a routine educational medium, and further Research adds measures of attitudes and behaviors to see the long-term changes.
