Abstract

Back pain is one of the common complaints experienced by pregnant women, particularly during the third trimester due to postural changes and increased fetal weight. Effective management of back pain requires a safe non- pharmacological approach, namely through the implementation of family nursing care involving pregnancy exercise. Method: This research is a descriptive case study using a family nursing care approach, including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. The inclusion criteria in this study were families with pregnant women aged 25-30 years. The study was conducted in the working area of Pulo Brayan Public Health Center. Results: The study was conducted on two family respondents who had third-trimester pregnant family members and lacked knowledge in managing back pain during pregnancy. The intervention lasted one week with three sessions. Data collection tools included a family assesanent format and video media. After implementing pregnancy exercise in three sessions, both patients reported a decrease in back pain intensity measured using the numeric pain scale. Additionally, both patients stated they had routinely performed pregnancy exercises and their back pain gradually became controlled. Analysis: The results of the study indicate that the implementation of pregnancy exercise can reduce back pain in third-trimester pregnant women. Conclusion and Suggestion: Pregnancy exercise is effective as a nursing intervention to relieve back pain and to strengthen the role of the family in supporting maternal health.
