ABSTRAK
Kualitas tidur merupakan salah satu kebutuhan dasar yang sangat penting bagi ibu
hamil trimester III karena berpengaruh terhadap kesehatan ibu dan janin.
Perubahan fisiologis dan psikologis selama kehamilan trimester III sering
menyebabkan gangguan tidur seperti sulit memulai tidur, sering terbangun pada
malam hari, nyeri punggung, sesak napas, dan kecemasan menjelang persalinan.
Salah satu terapi nonfarmakologis yang dapat digunakan untuk membantu
meningkatkan kualitas tidur ibu hamil adalah aromaterapi lavender. Aromaterapi
lavender diketahui memiliki efek relaksasi dan sedatif yang dapat membantu
menurunkan stres dan meningkatkan kenyamanan tidur. Penelitian ini bertujuan
untuk mengetahui pengaruh aromaterapi lavender terhadap kualitas tidur ibu
hamil trimester III berdasarkan studi literatur. Metode penelitian yang digunakan
adalah studi literatur dengan pendekatan scoping review. Penelusuran artikel
dilakukan melalui database Google Scholar dan jurnal elektronik lainnya dengan
rentang tahun publikasi 20212025 menggunakan kata kunci aromaterapi
lavender, kualitas tidur, dan ibu hamil trimester III. Artikel dipilih
berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi yang telah ditetapkan. Hasil seleksi
diperoleh 10 artikel yang terdiri dari 7 jurnal nasional dan 3 jurnal internasional.
Hasil studi literatur menunjukkan bahwa kualitas tidur ibu hamil trimester III
sebelum diberikan aromaterapi lavender sebagian besar berada pada kategori
kualitas tidur buruk. Setelah diberikan aromaterapi lavender, mayoritas ibu hamil
mengalami peningkatan kualitas tidur menjadi kategori baik. Seluruh artikel yang
direview menunjukkan bahwa aromaterapi lavender berpengaruh signifikan
terhadap peningkatan kualitas tidur ibu hamil trimester III. Efek tersebut terjadi
karena kandungan linalool dan linalyl acetate dalam lavender yang memberikan
efek relaksasi pada sistem saraf pusat sehingga membantu mengurangi stres,
kecemasan, dan gangguan tidur selama kehamilan. Kesimpulan penelitian ini
adalah aromaterapi lavender berpengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan kualitas
tidur ibu hamil trimester III dan dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu terapi
komplementer nonfarmakologis yang aman dan efektif selama kehamilan.

LITERATURE REVIEW OF THE EFFECT OF LAVENDER
AROMATHERAPY ON SLEEP QUALITY IN THIRD TRIMESTER
PREGNANT WOMEN
Besse Syahranil Adriyani
ABSTRACT
Sleep quality is one of the most important basic needs for third trimester pregnant
women because it affects both maternal and fetal health. Physiological and
psychological changes during the third trimester of pregnancy often cause sleep
disturbances such as difficulty initiating sleep, frequent awakening at night, back
pain, shortness of breath, and anxiety before childbirth. One of the non
pharmacological therapies that can be used to improve sleep quality in pregnant
women is lavender aromatherapy. Lavender aromatherapy is known to have
relaxing and sedative effects that can help reduce stress and improve sleep
comfort. This study aimed to determine the effect of lavender aromatherapy on
sleep quality in third trimester pregnant women based on a literature review. The
research method used was a literature review with a scoping review approach.
Article searches were conducted through the Google Scholar database and other
electronic journals within the publication period of 20212025 using the
keywords lavender aromatherapy, sleep quality, and third trimester
pregnant women. Articles were selected based on predetermined inclusion and
exclusion criteria. The selection results obtained 10 articles consisting of 7
national journals and 3 international journals. The results of the literature review
showed that the sleep quality of third trimester pregnant women before being
given lavender aromatherapy was mostly in the poor sleep quality category. After
being given lavender aromatherapy, most pregnant women experienced an
improvement in sleep quality to the good sleep quality category. All reviewed
articles showed that lavender aromatherapy had a significant effect on improving
sleep quality in third trimester pregnant women. This effect occurred because the
linalool and linalyl acetate compounds in lavender provide a relaxing effect on the
central nervous system, thereby helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and sleep
disturbances during pregnancy. The conclusion of this study is that lavender
aromatherapy has a significant effect on improving sleep quality in third trimester
pregnant women and can be used as a safe and effective non-pharmacological
complementary therapy during pregnancy.
