The Effect of Mindfulness on Reducing Anxiety Levels in Third-Trimester Primigravida Pregnant Women in the Working Area of Margorejo Public Health Center, Pati Regency
Main Article Content
Abstract
Anxiety during pregnancy, particularly in third-trimester primigravida mothers, can affect both maternal and fetal well-being. If not properly managed, anxiety poses a risk of complications during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be used to reduce anxiety is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a technique that focuses on enhancing an individual’s awareness of the present moment fully and non-judgmentally, which is believed to reduce anxiety symptoms and improve emotional regulation. This study aims to examine the effect of mindfulness on anxiety levels in third-trimester primigravida pregnant women in the working area of Margorejo Public Health Center, Margorejo Subdistrict, Pati Regency. This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 12 respondents participated in the mindfulness intervention, and anxiety levels were measured before and after the intervention using the validated Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). The analysis showed that the mean anxiety level before the intervention was 22.25 with a standard deviation of 5.529 and a standard error of 1.596. After the intervention, the mean anxiety level decreased to 17.92 with a standard deviation of 3.502 and a standard error of 1.011. Statistical testing yielded a p-value of 0.03, indicating a significant difference in anxiety levels before and after the intervention. Therefore, it can be concluded that the mindfulness intervention had a significant effect in reducing anxiety levels among third-trimester primigravida pregnant women.
