Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, pregnant women became a vulnerable group, so pregnant women were worried about their pregnancy. Pregnant women required special attention and services related to preventing anxiety so that it did not manifest in more severe psychological disorders. In this case, midwives have a role in preventing psychological disorders in pregnant women through psychoeducation services. However, there was no evidence regarding the benefits of this service for pregnant women. The aimed of this research was to determine the perceptions of pregnant women regarding psychoeducation services by midwives. The method of this study was qualitative research with a case study approach. The informants in this study were 6 pregnant women. Data collection uses online interviews (synchronous and asynchronous) and the WhatsApp platform using an instrument in the form of a semi-structured interview guide with a previous audit trail. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis with the Miles and Huberman framework. Six themes were obtained, namely the psychological condition of pregnant women, perceptions of pregnant women about psychoeducation, the benefits of psychoeducation for pregnant women, the psychological needs of pregnant women, the efforts to prevent anxiety in pregnant women, and barriers and efforts to minimize barriers for pregnant women. By psychoeducation, the family, especially the husband, can play more of a role in the mother’s pregnancy, besides that the mother feels closer to the midwife so that the midwife’s services are more optimally received. So, it is necessary to improve and develop psychoeducation services for pregnant women which can be integrated into integrated ANC services.
