Summary
Kehamilan merupakan masa dimana seseorang berada dalam masa yang penuh perubahan dan rentan mengalami stress. Berdasarkan hasil konseling ibu hamil yang dilakukan secara rutin dari program ANC terpadu, terdapat beberapa pasien yang mengalami kecemasan dalam masa kehamilan, hal ini bersumber baik karena pengalaman kehamilan pertama sehingga belum adanya pengetahuan maupun pengalaman terkait kondisi hamil. Berdasarkan beberapa fenomena tersebut akhirnya menjadi latar belakang untuk diadakannya program intervensi kelompok pada ibu hamil di desa Poncosari kecamatan Srandakan yang mengalami kecemasan pada proses kehamilan dan mempersiapkan persalinan. Sejalan dengan penelitian Setyaningsih dkk (2013) menemukan bahwa terapi kelompok yang berbasis supportive group therapy dengan metode paket “Harmoni” terbukti berpengaruh secara signifikan dalam menurunkan kecemasan pada ibu hamil beresiko tinggi dalam menghadapi persalinan [9]. Tujuan umum penelitian ini adalah melihat efektivitas supportive group therapy untuk menurunkan kecemasan dalam kelompok ibu hamil di Puskesmas Srandakan, khususnya Desa Poncosari
