EDUKASI TERAPI NON FARMAKOLOGI LILIN AROMATERAPI BAGI IBU HAMIL DENGAN HIPEREMESIS GRAVIDARUM DI SITUASI KRISIS KESEHATAN DESA PUCAK

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting experienced by pregnant women can become so severe that everything eaten and drunk is vomited, leading to weight loss, reduced skin turgor, decreased urine output, and the presence of acetone in the urine, a condition known as hyperemesis gravidarum. This condition not only threatens the mother's health but can also cause adverse effects on the fetus, such as miscarriage, low birth weight, preterm birth, and birth defects. The method we used was implementing education on non-pharmacological therapy. The main objective of this activity is to help pregnant women understand HG as a serious condition that requires attention, especially during a health crisis. The counseling activities were carried out starting on November 15, 2024, and proceeded as planned. The results of this activity showed an increase in pregnant women's knowledge regarding non-pharmacological therapy for hyperemesis gravidarum. With this activity, it is expected that pregnant women's awareness in Dusun Pucak Rt 01 about the use of complementary therapies, including lavender aromatherapy, will increase.
