Abstract

Pregnant women are vulnerable to various mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and excessive stress. These conditions are often exacerbated by a lack of social support and negative stigma, which discourage pregnant women from seeking help. If left unaddressed, mental health problems can negatively impact both maternal and fetal health, including increased risks of pregnancy complications and developmental disorders in the fetus. To address these challenges, a digital-based program was developed to provide social support and enhance the mental health of pregnant women. This community service initiative also included mental health education and relaxation training to help maintain psychological well-being among pregnant women. The evaluation results showed significant improvements across all assessed aspects. The total score increased from 5.5 in the pretest to 8.0 in the posttest. Knowledge of mental health increased from 5.5 to 8.0, strategies for maintaining mental health improved from 5.2 to 8.2, and understanding how to seek help rose from 5.3 to 8.1. Additionally, knowledge of relaxation techniques increased from 5.1 to 8.3, while the ability to apply these techniques independently improved from 4.9 to 8.0. These findings demonstrate that the digital-based program is effective in helping pregnant women address mental health challenges and improve their psychological well-being.

Abstract

Maternal mental health issues are a critical contributor to the high Maternal Mortality Rate in East Kalimantan. Significant challenges in providing adequate support stem from limited psychological services and knowledge gaps among midwives at the Trauma Center Community Health Center (Puskesmas). This community service research aimed to build the capacity of midwives to provide Psychological First Aid (PFA) for pregnant women through a digitally supported psychoeducation program. The methodology involved a psychoeducation program delivered to 30 midwives, featuring a PFA workshop and the socialization of the "Bumil Sejahtera" application. A paired T-test was used to analyze data and measure improvements in participant knowledge and skills. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement (p<0.05) across all assessed domains, with the mean score increasing from 87.33 in the pre-test to 113.67 in the post-test. This enhancement of skills is beneficial for the early detection and initial management of maternal mental health issues. For maximum impact, program sustainability is recommended through periodic workshops and collaboration with the local Health Department to expand the application's user reach.
