Abstract

Introduction: Pregnancy is a natural process that every woman experiences. During pregnancy, pregnant women experience many changes, both physiological and psychological. These changes can cause various symptoms in each pregnant woman. Some common complaints during pregnancy include nausea and vomiting, back pain, edema, and shortness of breath. Method: This activity was conducted through counseling aimed at explaining the condition and understanding it to pregnant women. This activity used leaflets and live demonstrations so that participants could perform exercises correctly. Conclusion: After conducting counseling on the role of physiotherapy in pregnancy problems at the integrated health posts (Posyandu) for pregnant women in Sempulang Village, Janju Village, and Keluang Lolo Village, it can be concluded that education is important regarding understanding good exercises to do during pregnancy, such as child pose, cat and camel exercise or yoga for pregnant women, and breathing exercises. This is useful for reducing and preventing symptoms during pregnancy by always paying attention to signs of when to stop the exercise.

Review

This paper addresses a highly relevant topic concerning maternal health, specifically focusing on the prevention and management of common pregnancy-related discomforts through physiotherapy education in a community health setting in East Kalimantan. The initiative to provide counseling and practical demonstrations using leaflets and live exercises (such as child pose, cat and camel, yoga, and breathing exercises) is commendable for its direct, actionable approach. This type of community-based intervention is crucial for empowering pregnant women with knowledge and practical skills to navigate physiological changes, potentially improving their quality of life during pregnancy. However, the abstract presents significant methodological limitations that hinder a comprehensive evaluation of the study's impact. The "Method" section is notably sparse, lacking crucial details regarding participant recruitment, sample size, the duration or frequency of the counseling sessions, and, most importantly, any form of pre- and post-intervention assessment. Consequently, the "Conclusion" that "education is important regarding understanding good exercises" appears to be an inherent assumption of the intervention rather than a data-driven outcome. There is no mention of how the effectiveness of the education was measured—whether through increased knowledge scores, reported reduction in symptoms, or adherence to exercises. This absence of measurable outcomes makes it challenging to ascertain the true impact and success of the described activity. Despite these limitations, the paper highlights a valuable public health initiative and the essential role of physiotherapy in antenatal care within specific Indonesian communities. To strengthen future reporting and demonstrate tangible impact, it is strongly recommended that subsequent publications include a more robust methodology. This should involve clear objectives, detailed intervention protocols, quantifiable outcome measures (e.g., pre/post-knowledge questionnaires, symptom severity scales, participant satisfaction surveys), and a discussion of the observed results. Such enhancements would significantly elevate the scientific rigor and allow for a more definitive assessment of the effectiveness of physiotherapy education in preventing and managing pregnancy-related issues, thus providing stronger evidence for its broader implementation.
