The study explores how structured antenatal education programs can improve maternal knowledge, reduce anxiety, increase self-confidence, and contribute to a more positive birth experience. Data were collected through surveys and interviews with expectant mothers who participated in antenatal education classes, and the findings were analyzed to assess the effects of education on maternal preparedness for labor and delivery. The results indicate that antenatal education significantly enhances mothers' readiness by providing them with essential information about the childbirth process, coping strategies, and self-care techniques. Furthermore, participants in the education program reported lower levels of anxiety and greater satisfaction with their birth experience. The study also highlights the challenges related to access to antenatal education, particularly in rural and underserved areas, and emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive and accessible programs. These findings suggest that improving access to antenatal education can empower mothers, reduce maternal and neonatal complications, and improve overall maternal health outcomes. The research provides valuable insights for healthcare providers and policymakers, offering recommendations for enhancing antenatal education programs to better support expectant mothers.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Henny Fitria Novia Yusriana Syahran Pratama Copyright (c) 2025 Henny Fitria, Novia Yusriana, Syahran Pratama https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-11-30 2025-11-30 4 1 1 9 https://trigin.pelnus.ac.id/index.php/ObGyn/article/view/290 <table width="586"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="380"> <p>Perineal tearing is a common complication of normal vaginal delivery and is associated with short- and long-term maternal morbidity, including pain, infection, dyspareunia, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Although perineal exercises are recommended to reduce perineal trauma, their effectiveness in routine practice is often limited by inadequate guidance and low adherence. This study aimed to examine the effect of guided virtual perineal exercises on the incidence and severity of birth canal tearing in normal vaginal delivery. A quasi-experimental study with a control group was conducted among pregnant women in the third trimester (28-36 weeks of gestation). Participants were allocated to an intervention group receiving guided virtual perineal exercises or a control group receiving standard antenatal care. The intervention consisted of structured pelvic floor and perineal stretching exercises delivered through a virtual platform using recorded instructional modules and periodic live guidance by trained healthcare professionals. The primary outcome was the incidence and degree of perineal tearing, classified using standardized clinical criteria. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate tests, and multivariate logistic regression to control for confounding variables, including parity, maternal age, neonatal birth weight, episiotomy use, and duration of labor. The incidence of perineal tearing was lower in the intervention group compared to the control group. Participants who followed the guided virtual perineal exercise program experienced predominantly no or mild perineal tears, while moderate tears were more frequent in the control group. After adjustment for confounding factors, guided virtual perineal exercises remained significantly associated with a reduced risk of perineal tearing. Improved adherence to perineal exercises was observed among women in the intervention group. Guided virtual perineal exercises are an effective, safe, and non-invasive antenatal intervention for reducing the incidence and severity of birth canal tearing in normal vaginal delivery. The findings support the integration of virtual perineal exercise programs into routine maternal health services to enhance antenatal education, improve maternal comfort, and promote better childbirth outcomes.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Aflahul Hafidz Ibrahim Fadholi Copyright (c) 2025 Aflahul Hafidz, Ibrahim Fadholi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-11-30 2025-11-30 4 1 10 20
