Abstract

The third trimester of pregnancy causes various physiological changes, including weight gain, shifts in the body's center of gravity, and increased musculoskeletal load, which may lead to discomfort, particularly when maintaining a sitting position for prolonged periods. One non-pharmacological approach that can be used to improve the comfort of pregnant women is the use of an ergonomic seat cushion as a postural support device. This study aimed to determine the effect of using an ergonomic seat cushion on the comfort level of third-trimester pregnant women. This study employed a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 31 third-trimester pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a comfort-level questionnaire with a Likert scale administered before and after the use of the ergonomic seat cushion for seven days. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed an improvement in comfort levels after the use of the ergonomic seat cushion. Before the intervention, most respondents were categorized as moderately comfortable (16 respondents; 51.6%), while after the intervention, the majority were categorized as comfortable (28 respondents; 90.3%). The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that the use of an ergonomic seat cushion has a significant effect on improving the comfort of third-trimester pregnant women.
