Abstract
Pregnancy can result in physical and psychological changes that trigger uterine contractions to give birth prematurely, miscarriage and depression. The World Health Organization‘s data shows that 8-10% experience anxiety during pregnancy, and the number of pregnant women in Banjarmasin City in 2021 is 11,492. Prevention can be done with pregnancy exercises. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of pregnancy exercises on reducing anxiety in second and third-trimester pregnant women at Pekauman Public Health Center, Banjarmasin City. The research method used was experimental. The population of this study were all pregnant women in the Pekauman Health Center area. Sampling was done by purposive sampling technique, totalling of 30 pregnant women, 15 control groups and 15 treatment groups. Data collection using the HARS anxiety level questionnaire with the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney statistical test with a p-value of 0.008 concluded that ”the hypothesis is accepted”. Thus there is a difference between the results of the intervention group and the control group on the implementation of pregnancy exercise. Pregnant women are advised to routinely do pregnancy exercises so that they can reduce anxiety levels and be better prepared to face childbirth.
