Abstract

Emesis gravidarum is vomiting during pregnancy, mainly caused by increased Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in the endocrine system. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of red ginger aromatherapy essential oil (Zingiber Officinale var Rubrum) in treating emesis gravidarum among pregnant Women in the first trimester. The research was quasi-experimental using a one-group Pretest-Posttest design. The sample was 30 respondents using purposive sampling. Pregnant women in the 1st trimester who experienced emesis gravidarum inhaled red ginger essential oil aromatherapy using a diffuser once a day for 7 days. The instrument used was the Pregnancy Unique Questionnaire of Emesis (PUQE) to determine the severity of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. Data were analyzed using the dependent t-test with α=0.05. The results showed that before giving red ginger essential oil aromatherapy, 30 respondents (100%) had mild nausea and vomiting. After intervention, 28 (80%) respondents had no nausea and vomiting, and 2 (20%) had mild nausea and vomiting. In addition, the average PUQE score in respondents before giving red ginger essential oil aromatherapy was 9.13, while after intervention, the mean PUQE score was 5.80. The dependent t-test obtained p=0.000 (p<α), indicating that red ginger essential oil aromatherapy significantly affected the severity of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. In conclusion, red ginger essential oil aromatherapy can significantly reduce the severity of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. Thus, it can be used as a non-pharmacological therapy to treat emesis gravidarum in pregnant women.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy is still a serious problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 48.9%. Iron supplementation is widely considered an important strategy to reduce the incidence. The aim of the study is to analyze the effect of educational videos on the knowledge and compliance of pregnant women with Fe tablet consumption and to compare the impact of knowledge and compliance with the consumption of Fe tablets on pregnant women between the intervention group and the control group. The methods used in this study were quasi-experimental with a nonequivalent control group design. Sampling by the exhaustive sampling technique consisted of 64 respondents, with the intervention group of 32 people and the control group of 32 people. This study was carried out at the Dahlia Health Center and the Pertiwi Health Center in Makassar City for 5 months, with an intervention of 90 tablets or 3 months. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square, Wilcoxon, McNemar, and Mann-Whitney tests. The result shows the intervention group showed a 100.0% increase in knowledge and 59.4% in compliance, while the control group experienced a 90.6% increase in knowledge and 56.2% in compliance. The educational video on the importance of blood supplement tablets during pregnancy effectively increases knowledge and compliance with Fe tablet consumption in pregnant women, so it is hoped that health workers can use educational video media as an alternative method in counseling.
