Abstract

Introduction: The comparison between advertised chemical-based products and natural herbal ingredients largely depends on individual preferences, cultural backgrounds, and personal experiences. This study aims to analyze the extent to which advertisements and other factors influence women of reproductive age's consumer preferences for chemical-based and herbal hygiene products.Methods: This study analyzed the preferences of women of reproductive age regarding reproductive hygiene products, comparing chemical-based products advertised with natural herbal alternatives. A quantitative survey was conducted on 100 women aged 15–45 years in Kepanjen, Blimbing, Singosari, and Dau, using a stratified random sampling method. Data were collected via questionnaires covering knowledge, product use, selection reasons, and satisfaction levels. Descriptive analysis and Chi-Square (χ²) tests were applied to examine relationships between information sources, product types, and satisfaction levels.Results: 70% of respondents used chemical-based products, mainly due to advertising (45%), while 35% prefered herbal products for safety and family tradition (60%). Respondents who obtained information from advertisements were more likely to use chemical-based products (χ² = 22.48, p = 0.0041), whereas those consulting healthcare professionals preferred herbal products (χ² = 15.72, p = 0.028). A significant relationship was found between product type and satisfaction level (χ² = 9.00, p = 0.0111), with users of herbal products reporting higher satisfaction. However, no significant association was found between product type and side effects (χ² = 5.63, p = 0.060), suggesting that other factors may influence side effects.Conclusion: Although most women prefer chemical-based products due to advertising, satisfaction levels are higher among users of herbal products. Further education on the benefits and risks of both types of products is essential to help women make informed choices for maintaining reproductive hygiene and health.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Nausea and vomiting in the first trimester of pregnancy are common physiological complaints due to hormonal changes and may progress to hyperemesis gravidarum if not properly managed. Safe non-pharmacological interventions are needed to improve maternal comfort, one of which is the use of red ginger simplicia extract as a complementary therapy. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of red ginger simplicia extract in reducing the severity of nausea and vomiting among first-trimester pregnant women. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a control group pretest–posttest approach conducted at an independent midwifery practice in Malang City from January to February 2026. The sample consisted of 28 first-trimester pregnant women divided into intervention and control groups using purposive sampling. The instrument used was the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and Independent Sample T-Test with a significance level of p 0.05. Result: Most respondents experienced moderate nausea and vomiting before the intervention. After the administration of red ginger simplicia extract, the proportion of respondents in the mild category increased to 71.43%. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference before and after the intervention in the red ginger group (p=0.002), while the control group also showed a smaller significant change (p=0.028). Conclusion: Red ginger simplicia extract is effective in reducing the severity of nausea and vomiting among first-trimester pregnant women and can be used as a non-pharmacological alternative in midwifery care. Keywords: Red Ginger Simplicia Extract, Nausea And Vomiting, First-Trimester Pregnant Women.  ABSTRAK Pendahuluan: Mual dan muntah pada kehamilan trimester I merupakan keluhan fisiologis yang umum terjadi akibat perubahan hormonal dan berpotensi berkembang menjadi hiperemesis gravidarum apabila tidak ditangani dengan tepat.
