Stress and anxiety during pregnancy has an impact on the risk of pregnancy, baby and birth. There is a need holistic care to cope with psychological adaptation during pregnancy. Self-affirmation by love card and deep breathing sounds to be part of holistic care but none of the study.

This study was an experiment with a randomized pretest-posttest with control group design. The inclusion criteria in this study were pregnant women in the Public Health Center that was chosen through cluster and then simple random sampling, 40 respondents with 28-36 weeks aged pregnancy. The intervention group was treated with self-affirmation by love card with deep breathing within 2 weeks for 4 meetings besides antenatal education as part of standard antenatal care. The control group was given antenatal education only. The data was collected before, after the intervention, and at birth. The instrument of the research used DASS to measure stress and anxiety questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using GLM with post hoc LSD with the significantly less than 0.05. The study revealed that there was an impact of self-affirmation by love card with deep breathing toward stress and anxiety before and after treatment and at birth with a p-value <0.05 significantly.
