Abstract

Background: Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition of excessive nausea and vomiting in the first trimester of pregnancy that can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and a reduced quality of life for pregnant women. Lavender aromatherapy, as a non-pharmacological intervention, has the potential to reduce the symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum through its relaxing and anxiolytic effects. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing hyperemesis gravidarum in first trimester pregnant women at Toto Kabila Regional Hospital. Methods: This study used a pre-experimental design with purposive sampling technique involving 30 respondents in the first trimester of pregnancy who experienced hyperemesis gravidarum. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality and a paired t-test to compare hyperemesis scores before and after lavender aromatherapy administration. Results: The results showed a significant decrease in hyperemesis scores from an average of 10.40 ± 2.85 before the intervention to 6.30 ± 2.10 after the intervention with a mean difference of 4.10 points and a p value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). There was a category shift where 56.7% of respondents were in the mild category after the intervention compared to only 13.3% before the intervention. Conclusion: Lavender aromatherapy is effective as a complementary intervention in reducing the symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum in pregnant women in the first trimester and can be recommended as part of a holistic approach in midwifery care.
