Latar Belakang: Perubahan fisik, hormonal, dan emosional yang terjadi pada masa ini sering kali mempengaruhi kesehatan mental ibu. Aktivitas fisik dapat mengurangi stres dan meningkatkan kesehatan. Ibu nifas sangat rentan terjadi gangguan psikologis karena adanya perubahan peran dan tanggung jawab. Gangguan psikologis yang tidak dikelola maka akan berdampak buruk terhadap ibu nifas. Dalam upaya menjaga keseimbangan mental selama masa nifas, berbagai pendekatan telah dikembangkan, salah satunya adalah melalui aktivitas fisik seperti yoga.

Tujuan: untuk mengetahui pengaruh intensitas postnatal yoga terhadap kesehatan mental ibu nifas

Metode:  Desain penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi experimental dengan menggunakan model nonequivalent control group design. Instrumen penelitian kuesioner Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Teknik pengumpulan data adalah memberikan kuesioner sebagai pretest pada responden pada hari pertama pertemuan, kemudian selama 2 minggu responden mengikuti postnatal yoga, selanjutnya responden mengisi kuesioner sebagai posttest pada responden pada hari terakhir pertemuan.

Hasil: Secara statistik didapatkan P-value =0,000 (<0,05). Terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik antara skor kesehatan mental ibu nifas sebelum (Pretest) dan sesudah (Posttest) diberikan Terapi Yoga Postnatal.

Kesimpulan: Terapi Yoga Postnatal terbukti sangat efektif secara signifikan dalam mengurangi tingkat gejala depresi pascapersalinan (menurunkan skor EPDS) pada kelompok ibu nifas.

Saran: Disarankan perlu penelitian lanjutan tentang minat, motivasi dan faktor penghambat ibu nifas dalam mengikuti postnatal yoga.

ABSTRACT

 

Background: Physical, hormonal, and emotional changes that occur during this time often affect a mother's mental health. Physical activity can reduce stress and improve health. Postpartum mothers are highly vulnerable to psychological disorders due to changes in roles and responsibilities. Psychological disorders that are not managed can have negative effects on postpartum mothers. In efforts to maintain mental balance during the postpartum period, various approaches have been developed, one of which is through physical activities such as yoga.

Purpose:  to determine the effect of postnatal yoga intensity on the mental health of postpartum mothers

Methods:  This research design uses a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group design model. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) research questionnaire instrument. The data collection technique involved administering the questionnaire as a pretest to respondents on the first day of the meeting, then the respondents participated in postnatal yoga for 2 weeks, and finally, the respondents completed the questionnaire as a posttest on the last day of the meeting.

Results: Statistically, a P-value of 0.000 (<0.05). There is a statistically significant difference between the mental health scores of postpartum mothers before (Pretest) and after (Posttest) receiving Postnatal Yoga Therapy.

Conclusion: Postnatal Yoga Therapy has been proven to be significantly effective in reducing the level of postpartum depression symptoms (lowering EPDS scores) in the group of postpartum mothers.

Suggestions; It is recommended that further research be conducted on the interests, motivations, and inhibiting factors for postpartum mothers in participating in postnatal yoga.
