Abstract

During pregnancy, pregnant women can experience some complaints of discomfort that can be caused by hormonal changes and physical changes associated with an enlarged uterus. Complaints of discomfort such as pain in the waist, shoulders and other limbs is one symptom of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). Excessive physical activity can cause MSDs but regular physical activity such as pregnancy exercises contribute to preventing musculoskeletal disease. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship of physical activity to complaints of MSDs in pregnant women in the Plaju Public Health Center of Palembang city. This research used a quantitative approach with cross sectional study design. 110 trimester II pregnant women were selected by purposive sampling at the Plaju Puskesmas. The results showed a significant relationship between physical activity (p-value = 0.033) and occupation (p-value = 0.015). Pregnant women who work with excessive physical activity and work can cause MSDs.
