Abstract

Decreased sleep quality in pregnant women can inhibit the body's detoxification process, causing physical and emotional health disorders, such as unstable moods, fatigue, and hormonal disorders. This condition is at risk of affecting fetal development. One effort that can be made to improve sleep quality is the use of maternity pillows and aromatherapy coffee Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the use of maternity pillows and aromatherapy coffee in improving the sleep quality of pregnant women in the third trimester. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test without control approach. The study sample consisted of 31 pregnant women in the third trimester who experienced sleep disorders, taken using the total sampling technique. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon test. Results: Before the intervention, all respondents (100%) had poor sleep quality. After using a maternity pillow and aromatherapy coffee, 74.2% of respondents reported good sleep quality. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference between sleep quality before and after the intervention (p <0.05). Conclusions: The use of maternity pillows and aromatherapy coffee has been proven effective in improving the sleep quality of pregnant women in the third trimester. This method can be recommended as a non-pharmacological alternative to overcome sleep disorders in pregnant women.

Abstract

Hypertension in pregnancy is one of the leading causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Management can be carried out both pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically. Papaya (Carica papaya L.) and red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) contain potassium, papain enzyme, flavonoids, and vitamin C, which play a role in vasodilation and are believed to help lower blood pressure. This study aimed to determine the effect of papaya and dragon fruit juice consumption on reducing hypertension in pregnant women. Method : This research employed a one-group pretest-posttest design with a total sample of 30 pregnant women diagnosed with hypertension at Gambir Baru Health Center. The intervention was given in the form of papaya and dragon fruit juice according to SOP for 14 days. Blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention, and the data were analyzed using the dependent t-test. The results : showed that before the intervention, most respondents experienced mild hypertension (90%) and severe hypertension (10%). After the intervention, the majority were in the normal category (90%) and mild (10%). Statistical analysis revealed a p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of papaya and dragon fruit juice consumption on reducing hypertension in pregnant women. The conclusion : In conclusion, papaya and dragon fruit juice are effective in lowering blood pressure among pregnant women with hypertension. It is recommended as a non-pharmacological alternative therapy to support maternal health during pregnancy.
