Abstract

Background: One of the most common discomforts faced by pregnant women in the third trimester is back pain. This discomfort often arises due to changes in the body's anatomy experienced during pregnancy. In 2024, the prevalence of back pain in pregnant women in various regions of the world increased from 16% in the 12th week to 93% in the 36th week, as many as 51.3% of pregnant women in Central Java Province, and as many as 47-60% in Kebumen. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of applying effleurage massage and red ginger compresses in reducing back pain in pregnant women in the third trimester. Methods: This study used a descriptive method with a case study approach, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research was conducted over a period of three consecutive days. The respondents consisted of three third-trimester pregnant women who were experiencing back pain. Results: The characteristics of the three respondents include a healthy reproductive age of 20-35 years, the last education is high school, work as a housewife, with the majority of primipara. Before being given effleurage massage therapy and red ginger compress, the intensity of back pain in two respondents was on a scale of 6 (moderate pain) and one respondent on a scale of 5 (moderate pain). After the intervention, all respondents experienced a decrease in pain intensity to a scale of 1 (mild pain). This finding shows the effectiveness of the combination of effleurage massage and red ginger compress in reducing the intensity of back pain from the moderate category to mild in pregnant women in the third trimester. Conclusion: Effleurage massage and red ginger compresses are effective in reducing back pain in pregnant women in the third trimester.
