Abstract

Child marriage remains a persistent public health issue in Indonesia, including in Jember Regency. Early marriage is closely linked to adolescent pregnancy and may increase the risk of childbirth complications, which contribute to maternal and neonatal morbidity. This study aimed to analyze the association between child marriage (<18 years) and the incidence of childbirth complications. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted using purposive sampling. The study included 30 mothers who had delivered between January and December 2024 and met the inclusion criteria. Data were obtained from medical records. Age at marriage was categorized as <18 years or≥18 years, and childbirth complications were recorded as present or absent. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and logistic regression. Of the total respondents, 2 mothers married before age 18, and 28 married at age 18 or older. Childbirth complications occurred in 1 out of 2 mothers (50.0%) who married before 18 years and in 24 out of 28 mothers (85.7%) who married at ≥18 years. Statistical analysis showed a significant association between age at marriage and childbirth complications (p = 0.042). Logistic regression analysis indicated that age at marriage was associated with the risk of childbirth complications (OR = 5.45). Age at marriage is significantly associated with the incidence of childbirth complications. These findings highlight the importance of preventing child marriage, strengthening reproductive health education, and improving the quality of antenatal care services to reduce maternal and neonatal complications.

Abstract

Anxiety during pregnancy is a common psychological condition that can negatively affect maternal well-being and pregnancy outcomes. Safe and accessible non-pharmacological interventions are therefore needed to help manage maternal anxiety. Music therapy, particularly classical music, has been suggested as a potential method to promote relaxation and emotional regulation. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Beethoven’s classical violin music in reducing anxiety levels among pregnant women. A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 30 pregnant women attending antenatal care at a community health center. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) before and after a 15-minute intervention of listening to Beethoven’s classical violin music. Differences in anxiety scores before and after the intervention were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The findings demonstrated a significant reduction in anxiety levels following the music intervention. The mean anxiety score decreased significantly after participants listened to Beethoven’s classical violin music (t(29) = 12.819, p < 0.001). Descriptive analysis indicated that most participants experienced a reduction in anxiety severity, shifting from moderate to mild anxiety levels. Listening to Beethoven’s classical violin music significantly reduced anxiety among pregnant women. This intervention is simple, safe, inexpensive, and free from pharmacological side effects, making it a feasible complementary strategy to support psychological well-being in antenatal care settings.
