Abstract
Anxiety is a common psychological issue among pregnant women in the third trimester, often triggered by fear of childbirth, concerns about fetal health, and hormonal changes. If not properly addressed, it may negatively affect both maternal and fetal outcomes. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as music therapy, are increasingly used to promote relaxation and emotional well-being. This study aimed to determine the effect of music therapy using spiritual songs on the anxiety levels of third-trimester pregnant women at GMIM Siloam Sonder Minahasa Hospital. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was applied. The sample consisted of 30 pregnant women selected through total sampling. Anxiety levels were measured before and after the intervention using a validated instrument, and the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The findings revealed a significant reduction in anxiety levels following the intervention. The statistical test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of spiritual music therapy on reducing anxiety. These results suggest that spiritual songs can provide emotional comfort, enhance relaxation, and foster a sense of peace among pregnant women. In conclusion, music therapy using spiritual songs is an effective, safe, and complementary non-pharmacological intervention to reduce anxiety in third-trimester pregnant women and can be considered as part of maternal healthcare support.
