Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing anxiety during contraceptive device insertion at TPMB Kiki, Probolinggo City. Using a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design, the study involved 20 prospective contraceptive acceptors selected purposively. Anxiety levels, muscle tension, and pain prediction were measured using the Hands Scale instrument before and after lavender aromatherapy administration through inhalation for 15-20 minutes. The results showed that before the intervention, 90% of respondents experienced severe anxiety, stiff muscle tension, and predicted severe pain. After lavender aromatherapy administration, a very significant reduction occurred: 70% of respondents achieved a condition of no anxiety, very relaxed muscles, and no pain expectation, while the remaining 30% only experienced mild anxiety. All respondents (100%) stated that lavender aromatherapy was effective in reducing anxiety. Statistical tests showed significant differences between pre- and post-intervention conditions. This study concludes that lavender aromatherapy is significantly effective in reducing anxiety during contraceptive device insertion at TPMB Kiki, Probolinggo City, and is recommended to be integrated as part of standard midwifery care protocols.
