Effect of Endorphin Massage on The Level of Anxiety among >36 Weeks Pregnant Women
The weeks leading up to delivery are always anxiety-provoking for
pregnant women. Pregnant women may have negative effects from
anxiety such as prenatal attachment, the term used to describe the
bonding between both mother and baby. Such condition can lead to
poor uterine contraction, prolonged labor, uterine atony, bleeding
wounds, infections, maternal exhaustion and shock, while also
increasing the likelihood of premature birth and low birth weight. A
non-pharmacological therapy named endorphin massage may
stimulate the body to release endorphins. Such hormone may
minimize anxiety and promote maternal and fetal well-being. This
study aims to determine the effect of endorphin massage on the level
of anxiety among >36 weeks pregnant women at Private Practice
Midwife Listiorini in 2022. This was a pre-experimental study with
a one group, pre-test post-test design. The current study was
conducted on March 20-April 20 at Private Practice Midwife
Listiorini. The accident sampling approach was applied to select the
study samples, which consisted of 30 >36 weeks pregnant women
who performed ANC visits at Private Practice Midwife Listiorini and
met the inclusion criteria. The instruments used were the HARS
Scale and the Endorphin Massage SOP. In accordance with the
results, there was a decrease in the median anxiety levels of pregnant
women after receiving the endorphin massage intervention by 8.17.
The Wilcoxon statistical test result showed a p-value of 0.000
