PRENATAL GENTLE YOGA ON THE INTENSITY OF LOW BACK PAIN IN THIRD TRIMESTER PREGNANT WOMEN

Abstract

Abstract. Prenatal Gentle Yoga is a series of yoga movements mothers perform
during pregnancy from the first to the third. Prenatal Gentle Yoga affects the
decrease in the intensity of lower back pain, where the decrease in back pain
will run smoothly with several factors, including prenatal gentle Yoga. This
study aims to analyze the effect of prenatal gentle Yoga on the intensity of low
back pain in third-trimester pregnant women. The research method used is
Quasy Experimental with a one-group pre-test-post test design research design.
This study used a purposive sampling technique in third-trimester pregnant
women who had antenatal care, with several third-trimester pregnant women as
many as 45 people and 30 people or respondents were taken. Data was obtained
in this study using questionnaires, observation sheets, and checklists to conduct
treatment using the Wilcoxon test. Wilcoxon test result p=0.000 means <0.05.
So, it can be concluded that there is an influence of prenatal gentle Yoga on the
intensity of low back pain in third-trimester pregnant women. This research is
expected to be a reference for Midwives' third-trimester pregnant women and
further research to improve mothers' knowledge and behavior towards prenatal
gentle Yoga on the intensity of low back pain.
