Sikap Ibu Hamil Sebagai Determinan Perilaku Seksual selama Masa Kehamilan

Abstract

Pregnancy is not an obstacle to sexual intercourse. Many studies show that sex during pregnancy is not dangerous and does not cause premature birth. If pregnancy occurs naturally, safe sexual relations can be carried out from the time of conception of the fetus until the beginning of labor. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal sexual attitudes and behavior during pregnancy. This research design was cross-sectional. The respondents involved were 34 pregnant women who were chosen randomly. Data about sexual attitudes and behavior was collected through filling out questionnaires. Next, the data was analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The results of the analysis showed that the proportion of positive attitudes was relatively small, while the majority of pregnant women had never had sexual intercourse during pregnancy. The results of the hypothesis test showed a p value <0.05, which means that there was a correlation between being prepared and the sexual behavior of pregnant women. Thus, it could be concluded that the attitude of pregnant women is a determinant of sexual behavior during pregnancy.

ABSTRAK

Kehamilan bukanlah halangan untuk melakukan hubungan seksual. Banyak penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seks saat kehamilan tidak berbahaya dan tidak menyebabkan kelahiran prematur. Jika kehamilan terjadi secara alamiah, hubungan seksual yang aman bisa dilakukan sejak masa konsepsi janin hingga awal persalinan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara sikap dan perilaku seksual ibu pada masa kehamilan. Rancangan penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional. Responden yang terlibat adalah 34 ibu hamil yang dipilih secara random. Data tentang sikap dan perilaku seksual dikumpulkan melalui pengisian kuesioner. Selanjutnya data dianalisis menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa proporsi sikap positif relatif kecil, sementara itu mayoritas ibu hamil tidak pernah melakukan hubungan seksual selama kehamilan. Hasil uji hipotesis menunjukkan nilai p <0,05 yang berarti bahwa ada korelasi antara siakp dengan perilaku sekusal ibu hamil. Dengangan demikian bisa disimpulkan bahwa sikap ibu hamil merupakan determinan bagi perilaku seksual selama masa kehamilan.
