Description

Introduction: One of the complaints that often arise in early pregnancy
(generally in the first months of pregnancy until the end of the first
trimester) is nausea and vomiting (emesis gravidarum). Some research
results state that the use of aromatherapy can help to reduce complaints of
nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. This study aims to determine the
perception of pregnant women in applying complementary therapy to
overcome emesis gravidarum in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Methods: The design used in this study was quantitative descriptive
research design with cross sectional approach. This research was
conducted in three private midwifery services in South Denpasar Distric.
The sample in this study amounted to 100 respondents with purposive
sampling technique. This research was conducted for one month, in June
2021. The instrument used is a questionnaire and data were analysed by
descriptive analysis.
Results: Almost all pregnant women (90%) did not have access to the use
of complementary therapies, most pregnant women (78%) did not have
traditional and cultural beliefs to use complementary therapies, most
pregnant women (58%) had lack of knowledge about complementary
therapy, and almost all pregnant women (91%) had a negative perception
about the use of complementary therapies to deal with complaints of
nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is almost all pregnant women have
a negative perception of the use of complementary therapies to treat
emesis gravidarum. Expected that more health workers will provide
education about complementary therapies to overcome emesis
gravidarum.
