Abstract

Physical changes during pregnancy often lead to negative perceptions of body shape or body image, particularly in the era of social media, which reinforces unrealistic beauty standards. Such conditions may increase pregnant women’s vulnerability to psychological stress, ultimately affecting maternal health. This study aims to analyze the correlation between body image and psychological stress among pregnant women in the social media era. An analytical approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 66 pregnant women in their first to third trimesters who were active social media users. Data were collected using a modified version of the Body Shape Questionnaire [BSQ‑16) and the Perceived Stress Scale [PSS‑10). Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results showed that the mean scores for body image and psychological stress were 56.81 and 73.86, respectively. The hypothesis testing yielded a p‑value of 0.001, indicating a significant correlation between body image and psychological stress levels among pregnant women. It is therefore concluded that negative perceptions of bodily changes during pregnancy contribute to increased psychological stress in pregnant women in the era of social media.Keywords: body image; psychological stress; pregnant women; social media

Abstract

Pregnancy-related discomfort is associated with decreased quality of life and an increased risk of complications extending to the time of delivery. One complementary midwifery service that serves as a promotive and preventive non-pharmacological intervention to reduce such discomfort is prenatal yoga, which is influenced by factors including knowledge, family support, and the role of healthcare professionals. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of pregnant women’s participation in prenatal yoga activities at an independent midwifery practice. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 24 pregnant women who attended antenatal care. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Chi-square test. The results indicated that the prevalence of participation in prenatal yoga was relatively high, at 70.8%. The p-values for each determinant were as follows: knowledge (p = 0.001), family support (p = 0.020), and the role of healthcare professionals (p = 0.007). It can therefore be concluded that knowledge, family support, and the role of healthcare professionals are positive determinants of pregnant women’s participation in prenatal yoga.Keywords: knowledge; family support; role of healthcare professionals; prenatal yoga
