GAMBARAN KECEMASAN PADA IBU HAMIL SELAMA KEHAMILAN DI WILAYAH KERJA PUSKESMAS PATRANG KABUPATEN JEMBER

Abstract

During pregnancy, women experience physical, psychological, and social changes that require various forms of adjustment. Anxiety is one of the psychological conditions that may occur during pregnancy and, when not identified and properly managed, may affect maternal well-being. This study aimed to describe anxiety among pregnant women during pregnancy in the working area of Patrang Public Health Center, Jember Regency, using a descriptive quantitative approach. A total of 95 pregnant women participated in the study and were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Anxiety was measured using the Indonesian version of the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS), and the data were analyzed descriptively using frequency distribution, percentage calculation, and anxiety level categorization based on the mean score. The reliability test showed a Cronbach’s Alpha (α) value of 0.950, indicating good internal consistency of the instrument. The results showed that 47 respondents (49.5%) were categorized as having a low risk of anxiety, while 48 respondents (50.5%) were categorized as having a high risk of anxiety. These findings indicate that high-risk anxiety was the most prevalent category among pregnant women in the working area of Patrang Public Health Center, Jember Regency. The findings are expected to serve as a basis for early mental health screening among pregnant women and support antenatal care that considers psychological well-being during pregnancy.
