Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has a considerable impact on the stress level of pregnant women, especially working pregnant women who are at risk of causing premature birth, hypertension in pregnant women, to maternal and fetal death. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using progressive muscle relaxation combined with deep breath relaxation on pregnant women working during a pandemic. This study used a one-group pretest and posttest design. There were five participants in this study with the criteria of working pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy. Samples were selected through a purposive sampling method and data analysis using a Paired T-Test test. The stress level measurement instrument uses the DASS 42 scale (Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 42). The results showed that there was a very significant effect of the use of progressive muscle relaxation and deep breath relaxation on the stress levels of working pregnant women. The implication of this study is to prove that the use of progressive muscle relaxation and deep breath relaxation has an effect on reducing the stress levels of pregnant women working during a pandemic. The limitation of this study is the lack of supporting data such as relationship with husband, workload, and difficulties experienced during pregnancy. For future research it is recommended to consider husband and family support as findings in the study. Other impacts of the application of progressive muscle relaxation and deep breath relaxation need to be further researched using appropriate measurement instruments to measure their effectiveness.

Abstract

Maternal parenting stress can occur because mothers are the main caregivers who will face daily problems, especially those who have children with disruptive behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between a hardiness personality and a husband's social support with a mother's parenting stress in dealing with children's disruptive behavior simultaneously or partially. Using a quantitative approach with the number of participants as many as 61 mothers who have preschool-age children (3-5 years old), have gone to PAUD (KB or TK) in Semarang City, and the child has disruptive behavior. Participants were selected through the accidental sampling method and data analysis using multiple regression analysis. The results showed that there was a very significant simultaneous relationship between hardiness personality and husband's social support with mothers' parenting stress in dealing with children's disruptive behavior, with an effect of 32.0%. There is a negative and very significant relationship between hardiness personality and parenting stress of mothers in dealing with children's disruptive behavior with an effect of 19.4%. When dealing with children's destructive behavior, there was a positive and significant relationship between the husband's social support and the mother's parenting stress, with an effect of 12.6%. This study aims to demonstrate that maternal resilience is an important factor in reducing or suppressing maternal parenting stress when dealing with children's disruptive behavior. A limitation of this study is that the scale is extended using Google Forms, so researchers cannot see participants' reactions when they provide information to complete the scale in Google Forms. A suggestion for future researchers is to conduct a broader study on mothers' parenting stress in different cases, such as children's use of gadgets and devices.
