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.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy is a significant health issue that contributes to the incidence of low-birth-weight (LBW) babies. At the Bere-Bere Community Health Center, the prevalence of LBW is 15%, higher than the national average, and the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women is 30%. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between hemoglobin (Hb) levels in pregnant women and the incidence of LBW at the center. A cross-sectional design was used with 30 pregnant women selected via purposive sampling. Hb levels were categorized into anemia (Hb <11 g/dL) and normal (Hb ≥11 g/dL), while birth weight was categorized into LBW (<2500 grams) and normal (≥2500 grams). Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. Results showed that 43.3% of pregnant women experienced anemia and 33.3% of babies had LBW. Of the 13 anemic mothers, 61.5% gave birth to LBW babies, while only 11.8% of mothers with normal Hb levels had LBW babies. The Chi-Square test revealed a significant relationship (p = 0.004, p < 0.05) between maternal Hb levels and LBW incidence. In conclusion, maternal anemia is significantly associated with LBW, highlighting the need for interventions such as iron supplementation, nutrition education, and regular check-ups to prevent anemia and reduce LBW rates.

Abstract

Emesis gravidarum, characterized by nausea and vomiting during the first trimester of pregnancy, affects up to 80% of pregnant women. Although typically considered a normal physiological condition, persistent symptoms can significantly impact daily activities, nutritional intake, and quality of life. Concerns over fetal safety with pharmacological treatments have led to the exploration of non-pharmacological interventions, such as aromatherapy. Lemon (Citrus limon) aromatherapy, which contains limonene, is believed to reduce nausea by stimulating the limbic system through olfactory pathways. This observational study, conducted at Manembo-nembo Hospital in Bitung City in 2025, involved 30 first-trimester pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. The severity of emesis gravidarum was assessed using the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) questionnaire before and after lemon aromatherapy. Results showed that most participants were aged 20–35 years (73.33%) and in the early first trimester (≤10 weeks). After lemon aromatherapy, the severity of nausea and vomiting decreased, with most participants shifting from moderate or severe to mild symptoms. Statistical analysis revealed a moderate negative correlation between lemon aromatherapy and the severity of emesis gravidarum (r = −0.586; p = 0.001). In conclusion, lemon aromatherapy was significantly associated with a reduction in nausea and vomiting severity in early pregnancy. This intervention offers a safe, simple, and complementary option in antenatal care to enhance maternal comfort during the first trimester.

Abstract

Anemia among pregnant women remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia, contributing to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and impaired fetal development. The third trimester represents a critical stage, as iron requirements increase substantially due to rapid fetal growth and expanded maternal blood volume. Insufficient hemoglobin (HB) levels during this period are closely linked to negative health outcomes, highlighting the need for effective prevention strategies. Health education has been widely recognized as an important intervention to enhance knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to nutrition, iron supplementation, and anemia prevention. This study aimed to examine the effect of health education on anemia prevention by assessing hemoglobin levels in third-trimester pregnant women. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was applied to 30 participants selected through purposive sampling. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after structured health education sessions covering anemia prevention, iron tablet adherence, dietary improvement, and healthy lifestyle practices. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The findings showed a significant increase in hemoglobin levels after the intervention (p = 0.000). These results indicate that structured health education effectively improves hemoglobin levels and supports anemia prevention in pregnant women.

Abstract

Anxiety during pregnancy, particularly near the time of delivery, is a common issue that may adversely affect both maternal and fetal health. Elevated anxiety levels are associated with increased pain perception, prolonged labor, and a higher likelihood of complications. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as aromatherapy, are increasingly utilized due to their safety, simplicity, and effectiveness. Lavender aromatherapy is especially recognized for its calming effects and its ability to enhance emotional well-being. Previous research has indicated that lavender scent exposure can reduce both physiological and psychological indicators of anxiety, including among pregnant women. However, evidence from Indonesian primary healthcare settings remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing anxiety levels among pregnant women approaching childbirth. An analytical observational design with a pretest-posttest approach was applied to 30 participants selected through purposive sampling. Anxiety levels were assessed using a validated questionnaire before and after inhalation of lavender aromatherapy administered under standardized conditions. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.The findings revealed a significant reduction in anxiety levels after the intervention (p < 0.05), with all participants experiencing improvement and no adverse effects reported. In conclusion, lavender aromatherapy is an effective complementary intervention to reduce anxiety and support maternal readiness for labor.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a life-threatening obstetric complication and a major contributor to maternal mortality worldwide, accounting for 10–15% of all maternal deaths. In Indonesia, postpartum hemorrhage remains the leading cause of maternal death, contributing to approximately 30% of cases. Hypertension during pregnancy accompanied by proteinuria not only endangers maternal health but also increases the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. Therefore, understanding the relationship between the severity of preeclampsia and the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage is crucial for developing effective prevention and management strategies, especially at the primary healthcare level. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the gradation of preeclampsia severity and the occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage among mothers giving birth at the Tepeleo Inpatient Health Center UPTD. The research used a quantitative cross-sectional design involving 30 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data collected included demographic characteristics, severity of preeclampsia, clinical parameters such as blood pressure and proteinuria, mode of delivery, and types of postpartum hemorrhage. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence level. The results showed that most respondents were aged 20–35 years (63.3%), had secondary education, and were multiparous (43.3%). Mild preeclampsia accounted for 73.3%, while severe cases were 26.7%. Uterine atony was the most common cause of hemorrhage (56.7%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between preeclampsia severity and postpartum hemorrhage (p = 0.007).

Abstract

The maternal mortality rate in Indonesia remains high, reaching 305 per 100,000 live births in 2021, with one contributing factor being the lack of maternal knowledge regarding pregnancy danger signs. Prenatal classes are considered a strategic intervention to improve pregnant women’s understanding of critical warning signs such as bleeding, severe abdominal pain, and infection symptoms. This study aims to analyze the influence of pregnancy classes on pregnant women’s knowledge of danger signs. The research employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach involving 30 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling at several community health centers. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires, with measurements conducted before (pre-test) and after (post-test) participants attended at least three prenatal classes. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with SPSS. The results showed that most respondents were aged 20–35 years (63.3%), had a high school education (36.7%), were housewives (60.0%), and multigravida (56.7%). Before the intervention, 50% had poor knowledge and only 20% had good knowledge. After attending prenatal classes, 63.3% achieved good knowledge, while only 10% remained in the poor category. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference (p = 0.000). Thus, prenatal classes effectively improve knowledge and support early detection of complications, potentially reducing maternal and infant mortality rates.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a crucial period that requires special attention to maternal nutritional status, including the prevention of anemia through the consumption of Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS). Compliance with MMS consumption remains a challenge due to physical, psychological, and social factors. This study aims to analyze the role of Posyandu cadres as peer support in improving compliance with MMS consumption and preventing anemia in pregnant women in the Bongo II Community Health Center, Boalemo Regency. The study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with a total sample of 20 pregnant women. Peer support interventions in the form of education, motivation, reminders, and routine monitoring were carried out for 4 weeks. Data were collected through questionnaires, MMS consumption records, and hemoglobin level examinations, then analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and paired t-test. The results showed a significant increase in the mean score of MMS consumption compliance from 61.2 to 80.5 (p = 0.002) and the mean hemoglobin level from 10.7 g/dL to 11.4 g/dL (p = 0.014). This finding confirms the effectiveness of peer support by Posyandu cadres in increasing compliance with MMS consumption and improving anemia status.
