Perbandingan Wedang Jahe Dan Sereh Lemon Dalam Mengurangi Keluhan Morning Sickness

Sari

ABSTRACT

Pregnant women in their first trimester often experience morning sickness. If untreated, it can progress to hyperemesis gravidarum, leading to severe dehydration, organ damage, loss of consciousness, and even death. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of ginger tea and lemongrass lemon tea in reducing morning sickness complaints in first-trimester pregnant women. The study used a Pre-Experimental method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design and a quantitative approach. Data were collected using the PUQE-24 questionnaire from 63 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The teas were given twice daily (250 ml) for one week, and the results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The findings showed a Sig. 2-Tailed value of 0.000 (p-value < 0.05), confirming the alternative hypothesis. Based on the mean value, lemongrass lemon tea was more effective than ginger tea. Both teas can serve as non-pharmacological interventions in complementary midwifery care to alleviate morning sickness. Government support is needed to ensure herbal ingredients are affordable for all.
