Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify the relationship between the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) education and anxiety levels in pregnant women in their third trimester. The primary focus is on the effectiveness of SEFT intervention as a non-pharmacological approach in helping to manage anxiety, as well as providing a comprehensive overview of the characteristics of the respondents and changes in anxiety levels before and after the intervention. Research Method: This study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with a sample size of 30 pregnant women in their third trimester. The intervention took the form of structured SEFT education with materials, demonstrations, and guided independent practice by health workers. Data collection included measuring anxiety levels before and after the intervention using standard instruments, which were then analyzed to observe any changes that occurred. Results and Discussion: The results showed a significant decrease in anxiety after SEFT education. Before the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced mild anxiety, while after the intervention, the majority did not experience anxiety. Respondents in the “Good” SEFT education category were mainly in the “No Anxiety” category, supporting the view that targeted education can improve the mental preparedness of pregnant women before childbirth. Implications: This study emphasizes the importance of integrating SEFT education into antenatal care programs as a promotive and preventive strategy. Practically, SEFT can be an easily implemented intervention in primary healthcare facilities at a low cost, yet with a high impact. Recommendations for further research include the use of a control group design, a larger sample size, and a longer observation period to strengthen the validity of the findings.

Abstract

Language is a crucial aspect of our lives, serving as a bridge for communication among individuals. People use language to convey emotions, ideas, desires, and feelings. One platform for communication is WhatsApp. Many people enjoy chatting on WhatsApp, but not all of them grasp the meaning behind each utterance spoken or sent by the speaker or sender. Various linguistic aspects, including speech acts, can be explored on WhatsApp, such as pragmatics, semantics, and sociolinguistics. This study aims to analyze the factors that lead to misunderstandings when performing perlocutionary acts on WhatsApp and how locutionary acts influence perlocutionary acts on the platform. The research findings identify several causes of misunderstandings in the communication process through WhatsApp. Firstly, incorrect punctuation usage contributes to misunderstandings. Secondly, typographical errors are another common factor. Thirdly, incomplete sentences resulting from typing too quickly make it challenging to comprehend the intended message. Fourthly, issues such as poor network connectivity lead to only a fraction of the message reaching the recipient. Additionally, locutionary acts represent the literal meaning of a sentence. The conclusion of this research is the impact of locution on perlocution depends on how effectively locution can convey instructions or meanings of the spoken sentence. If the utterance is not well-understood by the listener, they may not execute or comprehend the intended meaning, leading to perlocutionary acts and miscommunication between the individuals involved.
