Effleurage Massage With Lavender (Lavandula Lamiaceae) Essential Oil Aromatherapy Reduces Pregnant Women's Lower Back Pain
Abstract
Pregnant women are a high-risk group because they experience physical and psychological changes, one of which is often complaints of lower back pain (LBP) in the third trimester. This can be due to changes in positioning, walking too often, using high heels, or lifting heavy weights. Effleurage massage is a complementary therapy to reduce LBP. The combination with lavender essential oil aromatherapy may reduce LPB more optimally. The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of a combination of effleurage massage with lavender essential oil aromatherapy on LBP in pregnant women. The research used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group. The sample consisted of 16 third-trimester pregnant women for each group (intervention and control), recruited through the purposive sampling. This research was conducted in the area of the Padangsari Health Center, Semarang City in February-March 2021. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) of pain was used. The intervention provided was a combination of effleurage massage with lavender essential oil aromatherapy four times a month for 15-20 minutes per session. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and independent t test. The results showed that the combination of effleurage massage with lavender essential oil aromatherapy led to a significant decrease in LBP in pregnant women (p < 0.001). This therapy can be carried out by the family as needed because it is easy, does not cause side effects, and basic ingredients are available in the market. Nurses can accompany pregnant women and their families in the non-pharmacological management of LBP integrated with maternal health programs in primary health care facilities.
