Abstract

Pregnancy presents both physical and psychological challenges for women. High stress levels and lack of confidence in facing labor can negatively impact maternal and fetal well-being. Prenatal massage is recognized as a non-pharmacological intervention that helps reduce stress, improve emotional well-being, and enhance maternal confidence. This study analyzes the effect of prenatal massage on stress reduction and confidence levels in pregnant women using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Scientific articles from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar were reviewed, with inclusion criteria focusing on studies published in the last five years. The analysis revealed that prenatal massage significantly reduces stress by lowering cortisol levels and increasing endorphins, promoting relaxation. Additionally, it enhances psychological well-being and provides emotional support, contributing to greater confidence in facing labor. The findings suggest that prenatal massage offers substantial benefits in reducing stress and increasing maternal confidence before childbirth. Therefore, it can be recommended as part of prenatal care to support the mental and emotional health of pregnant women.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a critical phase that demands careful attention to maternal health and well-being. However, the use of medication during pregnancy remains a controversial issue, often accompanied by confusion and fear. This study aims to explore pregnant women’s perceptions of drug use, assess their level of knowledge regarding drug safety, and examine the implications of these perceptions for maternal and fetal health. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed with 120 pregnant women as respondents, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. The results revealed that 68.3% of respondents had negative perceptions of drug use during pregnancy, and 52.5% had low knowledge about medication safety. A significant relationship was found between perception and adherence to prescribed medication (p = 0.004). The findings highlight the urgent need for improved health education and counseling to ensure the safe and effective use of medication during pregnancy. Strengthening the role of healthcare providers in delivering accurate information can reduce unnecessary risks to both mothers and their unborn children.
