Social support with anxiety of pregnant mothers in trimester iii facing labor in the time of the covid-19 pandemic in 2022

Abstract

Pregnant women have the most intense anxiety among vulnerable and high-risk groups during the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased stress hormone levels limit cervical dilatation, resulting in protracted labor due to excessive worry. One of the reasons of Indonesia's high maternal death rate is prolonged labor. This research sought to identify the variables that impact the anxiety of third-trimester pregnant women at the Community Health Center of Kasihan I during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. The study strategy used was a cross-sectional survey approach. The sampling strategy used was purposeful sampling, and the sample size was 74 respondents. Using multiple logistic regression, univariate, bivariate, and multivariate data analyses were conducted. The findings demonstrated a correlation between social support and the anxiety of third-trimester pregnant women at the Community Health Center of Kasihan I in 2022 who were anticipating delivery. This research concludes that there is a correlation between the variable of social support and the anxiety of third-trimester pregnant women.   Abstrak:  Kecemasan yang dirasakan paling akut pada populasi rentan dan berisiko tinggi dimasa pandemi COVID-19 yaitu pada ibu hamil.
