FACTORS RELATED TO THE ATTITUDE OF PREGNANT WOMEN IN THE USE OF COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES IN PREGNANCY
Abstract
During pregnancy, a woman experiences physiological changes that require therapy/treatment. One of the therapies used during pregnancy to overcome discomfort during this period is complementary therapy. The use of complementary therapies by pregnant women is influenced by several factors. Therefore, this study aims to determine the factors related to the attitudes of pregnant women in utilizing complementary therapies during pregnancy. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship of knowledge, perceptions of pregnant women, and family support to the attitudes of pregnant women in the use of complementary therapies during pregnancy. This research is a cross-sectional questionnaire-based descriptive research study conducted on pregnant women who access primary and secondary services in the Pekalongan Regency working area. The sampling technique used in this study was proportional random sampling. The estimated size according to the data analysis design carried out is a multivariate analysis involving 4 independent variables. This study involved 60 research subjects with inclusion criteria, namely pregnant women who can read and exclusion criteria for pregnant women who have pregnancy danger signs. Pregnant women with a high level of knowledge have a 7,244 times higher chance of utilizing complementary therapy, which is related to the opportunity for pregnant women to detect early danger signs during pregnancy. Complementary therapy is a solution to deal with discomfort in pregnant women during pregnancy and can even cure some diseases. The use of complementary therapies is supported by several factors in the pregnant woman's environment. For this reason, it is necessary to understand the use of complementary therapies so that the use of complementary therapies can be maximized for pregnant women.
