Abstract

Psychological disturbances experienced by pregnant women are generally triggered by concerns regarding physical changes such as body shape and weight gain during pregnancy. These conditions increase vulnerability to mental health problems, potentially leading to high-risk pregnancies. One of the non pharmacological interventions proven effective in reducing anxiety is aromatherapy, a natural healing method using pure aromatic plant extracts. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing anxiety levels among third-trimester primigravida pregnant women at PMB Ernita, S.Tr.Keb, Pekanbaru City. The research applied a quasi-experimental design with a one group pre-test and post-test approach conducted from August to January 2025, involving 17 respondents selected through a total sampling technique. The instrument used was a modified Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HRS-A), and data were analyzed using the Paired Sample t-test. The results revealed a significant difference in anxiety levels before and after intervention with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The mean anxiety score increased from 41.71 before to 53.00 after the administration of lavender aromatherapy. These findings confirm that lavender aromatherapy is effective in reducing anxiety among third-trimester primigravida pregnant women at PMB Ernita, S.Tr.Keb, Pekanbaru City. It is hoped that pregnant women will use lavender aromatherapy as an alternative treatment to help reduce/relieve anxiety in primigravida mothers in the third trimester.
