Lavender Aromatherapy, Anxiety, Third-trimester Pregnant WomenAbstract
Anxiety in pregnant women may arise due to the prolonged period of waiting for childbirth, accompanied by uncertainty and fears regarding the delivery process. Psychological burdens are more prevalent during the third trimester of pregnancy. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of Lavender Aromatherapy on the anxiety levels of third-trimester pregnant women in preparation for childbirth. This research employs a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test approach, involving a sample size of 32 participants. Prior to the administration of Lavender Aromatherapy, the anxiety levels of the pregnant women were measured (pre-test). Subsequently, the participants were exposed to Lavender Aromatherapy six times, each session lasting 15-20 minutes. A post-test was conducted using a questionnaire to assess the anxiety levels following the aromatherapy intervention. The questionnaire utilised was the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HARS), developed using Google Forms. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics, specifically employing the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The findings of the study indicate a significant difference in the anxiety levels of pregnant women before and after the intervention of Lavender Aromatherapy, with a p-value of 0.00. Therefore, it can be concluded that Lavender Aromatherapy is effective in alleviating anxiety among third-trimester pregnant women. It is anticipated that pregnant women will consider using Lavender Aromatherapy as a means to manage anxiety during the third trimester of pregnancy.
