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.
