Devi Dian Novita Sari

ABSTRAK
Gangguan tidur pada ibu hamil trimester III merupakan masalah yang sering terjadi dan berdampak pada kesehatan fisik maupun psikologis ibu serta tumbuh kembang janin, sementara penggunaan obat tidur pada kehamilan memiliki keterbatasan karena potensi efek samping. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh aromaterapi lavender terhadap kualitas tidur ibu hamil trimester III berdasarkan studi literatur. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi literatur dengan pendekatan scoping review melalui penelusuran artikel di Google Scholar menggunakan kata kunci terkait aromaterapi lavender dan kualitas tidur pada ibu hamil, dengan kriteria inklusi artikel berbahasa Indonesia atau Inggris, desain eksperimental atau quasi-eksperimental, publikasi tahun 20212025, dan mengukur kualitas tidur menggunakan Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Sebanyak sembilan artikel memenuhi kriteria dan dianalisis secara deskriptif. Seluruh penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebelum intervensi, mayoritas ibu hamil trimester III memiliki kualitas tidur buruk (skor PSQI > 5), sedangkan setelah pemberian aromaterapi lavender selama 7 hari melalui inhalasi, diffuser, atau massage, terjadi penurunan bermakna skor PSQI dan peningkatan proporsi kualitas tidur baik, dengan seluruh nilai p < 0,05. Disimpulkan bahwa aromaterapi lavender berpengaruh positif dan konsisten dalam meningkatkan kualitas tidur ibu hamil trimester III sebagai terapi komplementer yang aman dan mudah diaplikasikan. Disarankan agar aromaterapi lavender dipertimbangkan dalam pelayanan antenatal care serta dilakukan penelitian lanjutan dengan desain randomized controlled trial dan pengukuran objektif kualitas tidur.

INFLUENCE OF LAVENDER AROMATHERAPY ON SLEEP QUALITY IN THIRD-TRIMESTER PREGNANT WOMEN
Devi Dian Novita Sari
ABSTRACT
Sleep disturbances in third-trimester pregnant women are common and can negatively affect maternal physical and psychological health as well as fetal growth and development, while the use of hypnotic drugs during pregnancy is limited due to potential adverse effects. This study aimed to determine the influence of lavender aromatherapy on sleep quality in third-trimester pregnant women based on a literature study. A literature review with a scoping review approach was conducted through article searches in Google Scholar using keywords related to lavender aromatherapy and sleep quality in pregnant women. Inclusion criteria were articles in Indonesian or English, experimental or quasi-experimental design, published between 20212025, and measuring sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Nine articles met the criteria and were analyzed descriptively. All studies showed that before the intervention, most third-trimester pregnant women had poor sleep quality (PSQI score > 5), whereas after approximately seven days of lavender aromatherapy administration via inhalation, diffuser, or massage, there was a significant decrease in PSQI scores and an increase in the proportion of women with good sleep quality, with all p values < 0.05. It is concluded that lavender aromatherapy has a positive and consistent effect in improving sleep quality in third-trimester pregnant women as a complementary therapy that is safe and easy to apply. It is recommended that lavender aromatherapy be considered in antenatal care services and that further research be conducted using randomized controlled trial designs and objective sleep measurements.
