Abstract

Background: Back pain during pregnancy occurs due to an imbalance between the work of postural muscles and fascial muscles in the lumbar region, leading to shortening of the lumbar muscles and subsequent hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of combining effleurage massage and citrus lemon aromatherapy on reducing back pain in third-trimester pregnant women in the Gombong and Sempor subdistricts. Method: This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test on a single group. Sampling in this study used purposive sampling techniques. The study sample consisted of 38 participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The tools used included a questionnaire for the standard operating procedure (SOP) for administering effleurage massage, an SOP for citrus lemon aromatherapy, and a pain assessment scale using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data analysis used univariate analysis, while bivariate analysis was used to test the hypothesis using the Wilcoxon test. Research : showed a decrease in pain after the intervention with efflurage massage and citrus lemon aromatherapy techniques. All respondents experienced changes in pain, with approximately 17 respondents no longer experiencing pain and 21 respondents experiencing mild pain. Conclusion: The difference in pain before and after the intervention using effleurage massage and citrus lemon aromatherapy produced significant results, with a Z value of -5.548b and a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating an improvement in pain among third-trimester pregnant women. This makes it worthy of consideration as a policy by health centers, midwives, and other healthcare professionals as one method to reduce back pain in pregnant women. Recommend: For further researchers conduct research with a control group.
