Background: Anxiety and depression in pregnancy can lead to low fetal quality, increased risk of pregnancy complication and developmental disorder of the child. Antidepressant treatment may cause recurrence or addiction rate of up to 50%. In theory, yoga can relieve undesirable psychic symptoms such as anxiety and depression during pregnancy. This study aimed to determine the effect of prenatal yoga on anxiety and depression. Subjects and Method: This study was a randomized controlled trial, conducted at Budi Luhur clinic in Kudus, Central Java, from 27 December 2017 to 7 February 2018. A total of 102 pregnant women was selected for this study by simple random sampling. This sample was allocated at random into the intervention group (n1=51) and control group (n2=51). The independent variable was prenatal yoga as the intervention under study. The dependent variables were anxiety and depression. The data were collected by questionnaire. Difference in the dependent variables between the two groups was tested by Mann-Whitney test and a multiple linear regression. Results: The mean level of anxiety was lower in the intervention group than the control group both at two weeks after the intervention (b= -9.25; 95% CI= -10.22 to -8.28; p< 0.001) and four weeks after the intervention (b= -5.79; 95% CI= -7.68 to -3.90; p< 0.001). The mean level of depression was lower in the intervention group than the control group both at two weeks after the intervention (b= -10.82; 95% CI= -12.29 to -9.35; p< 0.001) and four weeks after the intervention (b= -2.58; 95% CI= -3.98 to -1.18; p< 0.001). Conclusion: Prenatal yoga intervention can reduce anxiety and depression during pregnancy.

Subjects and Method:This was an analytical observational study with retrospective cohort design. This study was conducted at Benculuk health center, Banyuwangi, East Java. A total of 100 subjects were selected for this study by fixed exposure sampling, consisting of 50 pregnant mothers who participated pregnant woman class and 50 who did not participate pregnant woman class. The dependent variable was pregnancy anemia. The independent variables were participation in the pregnant woman class, maternal education, family income, food myth, and visit to obstetric gynecology specialist. Anemia was measured by spectrophotometer. Other variables were measured by a set of questionnaire. The data were analyze by multiple logistic regression. Results: Participation in pregnant woman class (OR=0.18; CI 95%= 0.03 to 1.21; p=0.078), maternal education ≥ senior high school (OR=0.07; CI 95%= 0.01 to 0.92; p=0.043), and high family income (≥ Rp 1,599,000) (OR=0.18; CI 95%= 0.31 to 1.03; p=0.054) decreased the risk of pregnancy anemia.Myth in food restriction (OR=4.47; CI 95%=0.73 to 27.51; p=0.106) increased the risk of pregnancy anemia. There was no relationship between visit to obstetric and gynecology specialist and the risk of pregnancy anemia (OR=0.93; CI 95%=0.09 to 9.17; p=0.952).

Background: Maternal mortality amounted to 33 cases in Tegal, Central Java, in 2015. The leading cause of maternal mortality rate in Indonesia was obstetric complication, i.e 46.8%. Pregnancy complication may be affected by maternal age, parity, education, and maternal employment status. Various efforts have been implemented by the government to reduce maternal mortality rate, including pregnant woman class. The objective of the pregnant mother class is to increase maternal knowledge in risk factor detection and to increase their willingness to use antenatal care. This study aimed to estimate the association between pregnant woman class and pregnancy complication, while controlling for confounding factors. Subjects and Method:This was an analytical observational with case control design. This study was conducted at Pagerbarang, Pangkah and Dukuhwaru Health Centers, Tegal, Central Java. A total of 90 study subjects, consisting of 30 laboring women with complication and 60 without complication. The dependent variable was pregnancy complication. The independent variables were maternal age, parity, education, employment status, and participation in pregnant woman class. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire. The data on pregnancy complication was obtained from the obstetric record at the health center. The data were analyzed by multiple logistic regresion. Results: Parity ≥3 (OR = 3.47; CI 95% = 0.95 to 12.69; p=0.060) and maternal education
