Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Preeclampsia is a specific pregnancy disorder that complicates approximately 3-5% of all pregnancies. The effects on pregnant women vary from mild hypertension, severe hypertension / hypertensive crisis, eclampsia to hemolysis syndrome, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count (HELLP), while the impact of these abnormalities on the fetus also varies from preterm birth, stunted fetal growth (CHD) to fetal death.

The initial cause of preeclampsia is still unknown, recent developments explain the molecular mechanisms behind its manifestations and especially abnormal development, placental hypoxia, endothelial dysfunction.

Prenatal yoga (yoga for pregnancy) is a modification of classical yoga which has been adapted to the physical condition of pregnant women which is done with a more gentle and slow intensity. Rakhsani A, et al., (2012) suggested that the positive effects of yoga for pregnant women are reducing occure of hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes as well as cases of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of prenatal yoga on reducing preeclampsia. This study was an experimental study that used pre and post-test mechanisms (paired test) with Yoga exercise treatment.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of prenatal yoga on reducing preeclampsia. This study was an experimental study that used pre and post-test mechanisms (paired test) with Yoga exercise treatment.

The number of samples wares 24 samples from pregnant women\> 20 weeks who had blood pressure level which was 130/80 mmHg to 140/90 mmHg. This study was carried out in September 2020. There were three parameters to measured decreased hypertension that is blood pressure, the protein level in urine, as well as blood platelets. The research was carried out in several public health centers where was Puskesmas Pembina and two clinics of midwives practice in Palembang city from September to November 2020. Yoga exercises technique used stretching and posture exercises (asanas) combined with deep breathing (pranayama) and meditation, to unify body, mind, and spirit (Babbar S, Parks-Savage AC, Chauhan SP, 2012).

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

This study was an experimental study that used pre and post-test designs in a single group. pre-group wasn't got yoga exercise, and post group was got yoga exercise was 30 minutes every 2 weeks for two months (4 times treatment). Yoga exercises technique used stretching and posture exercises (asanas) combined with deep breathing (pranayama) and meditation, to unify body, mind, and spirit (Babbar S, Parks-Savage AC, Chauhan SP, 2012). We obtained 24 samples from pregnant women\> 20 weeks who had blood pressure level which was 130/80 mmHg to 140/90 mmHg got fouth times yoga exercise during pregnancy. This study was carried out in September 2020. Every each subject was measured the hypertension level by systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the protein level in urine, as well as blood platelets. The research was carried out in several public health centers where was Puskesmas Pembina and two clinics of midwives practice in Palembang city from September to November 2020.
