The Effect Of Hypnobirthing on Perineal Tear in Spontaneous Birth Mothers at Clinics in Depok and Bogor City

Abstract

Labor is the process of releasing the fetus at a sufficient gestational age (37 to 42 weeks). Perineal and vaginal tearing can occur during the delivery process. This occurs due to the sudden and rapid discharge of the baby, the large size of the baby, and tissue in the mother's vagina that is easily torn. The most common complication of perineal laceration is bleeding, in addition to the formation of a hematoma, which can cause massive blood loss and result in death. This study used the quasi-experiment method with a posttest-only control design, which aims to determine the effect of Hypnobirthing on peritoneal tears in mothers who give birth spontaneously. The samples taken in this study were from 32 mothers who gave birth spontaneously using purposive sampling. The study was conducted as the control group at the Novayanti Bogor Midwife Clinic, Bogor Cit,y and the Kita Clinic, Depok City. The characteristics of mothers who give birth spontaneously are mostly in the age range of 20–35 years, with the highest parity, namely multiparas, and most of the baby's weight at birth being 2500–4000 grams. Statistical test results using theChi-Squaree Test obtained a P-Value of 0.05 with an OR of 21, so there is an effect of Hypnobirthing on perineal tearing in women who give birth spontaneously, and judging from the OR results, Hypnobirthing has a 21 times greater chance of not experiencing a torn perineum compared to mothers giving birth without Hypnobirthing.
