Abstract

This study aims to describe the application of Qur’anic murottal therapy as a complementary nursing intervention to reduce anxiety in a pregnant woman with premature rupture of membranes in the VK Room of RSUD Sidoarjo. This research used a qualitative case study design with an experimental nursing intervention approach. Data were collected through nursing assessment, observation, interview, physical examination, anxiety measurement, and documentation of patient progress during three days of care. The patient was a 36-year-old pregnant woman with a gestational age of 39–40 weeks who experienced continuous amniotic fluid discharge, abdominal tightening, worry, confusion, restlessness, tension, increased blood pressure, and sleep disturbance. The intervention was conducted by asking the patient to listen to Qur’anic murottal recitation for approximately 15 minutes in a calm and comfortable environment. The results showed gradual improvement after the intervention. The patient’s confusion, worry, restlessness, and tension decreased, while sleep pattern improved. The patient also became calmer and more cooperative during the nursing care process. These findings indicate that Qur’anic murottal therapy can be used as a simple, safe, low-cost, and culturally appropriate spiritual nursing intervention to support psychological comfort in pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes.
