简要总结
This study aimed to develop and evaluate a hyperemesis management model through the Vibratory Emesis Massage (VEM) nursing intervention in pregnant women experiencing nausea and vomiting. This quasi-experimental study used a pretest-posttest non-equivalent group design involving intervention and control groups. The intervention was administered at the Pericardium 6 (P6) point using a vibratory massage wristband for 15-20 minutes. The study evaluated the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing the severity of nausea and vomiting among pregnant women.
详细描述
Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition characterized by severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that may affect nutritional status, fluid balance, and quality of life. Non-pharmacological therapies such as acupressure and massage stimulation have increasingly been used as complementary approaches to reduce symptoms during pregnancy.
This study developed a nursing intervention model called Vibratory Emesis Massage (VEM), which combines vibratory stimulation and acupressure at the Pericardium 6 (P6) point using a wearable wristband device. The intervention was designed to reduce nausea and vomiting symptoms in pregnant women through peripheral nerve stimulation and relaxation mechanisms.
The study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design involving 240 pregnant women diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum at Prof. Dr. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Hospital, University of North Sumatra. Participants were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received Vibratory Emesis Massage therapy for 15-20 minutes per session.
The severity of nausea and vomiting was measured using the Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE-24) questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U Test to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.
The study aimed to provide evidence for the effectiveness of Vibratory Emesis Massage as a practical, safe, non-invasive, and nurse-led intervention for managing nausea and vomiting in pregnant women.
