Abstract

Received: March, 16, 2020 Revised: April, 16, 2021 Available online: May 2021 Pregnancy workouts are exercise programs intended for pregnant women to tighten the body and prepare the necessary muscles to face labor. Labor often results in perineum tears. This study aims to determine the correlation between participation in pregnancy exercise and perineal rupture incidence. The research method used correlation analysis using a retrospective approach. The population in this study were postpartum mothers at the Sumengko village maternity cottage, Kedungpring District, Lamongan Regency. The sample was 24 respondents using the quota sampling technique and then analyzed using Chi-Square. Most respondents who participated in pregnancy workouts did not experience perineal rupture (54.2%). Meanwhile, respondents who did not participate in pregnancy workouts experienced perineal rupture (33.3%). The chi-square test result was p=0.000 (α<0.05). There was a correlation between participation in pregnancy workouts and perineal rupture incidence in women with normal delivery. Thus, pregnant women should participate in pregnancy workouts regularly to prevent perineal tears.
