Abstract

Energy expenditure by skeletal muscle movements includes light, moderate, heavy, permanent, household, work and sports activities. Pregnant women with excessive physical activity cause tired then affect the stress level. Conditions of anxiety or anxiety to feeling depressed during pregnancy can activate the hormone cortisol in the bodyand cause complications in pregnancy and infant growth. The purpose of the study is analyzing the physical activity of pregnant women towards stress levels at the Plaju Health Center in Palembang. This quantitative research used cross sectional study design. 156 trimester II and III pregnant women were taken by purposive sampling at the Plaju Public Health Center. The results showed a significant relationship between physical activity (p-value = 0.035), gestational age (p-value 0.002), occupation (p-value 0.001), income (p-value 0.018) and history of disease (p-value 0,000) on stress levels in pregnant women. The results of multivariate analysis found that the most dominant variable affecting stress levels in pregnant women was physical activity that had been controlled by confounding variables, namely gestational age, occupation, and disease history ((PR = 2,225, 95% CI = 1,096 – 4,776). The results showed that pregnant women working with excessive physical activity at the third trimester of pregnancy who have a history of the disease have a higher risk of being exposed to stress in pregnancy. Plaju Health Center is expected to open counseling especially for pregnant women who work on the balance of physical activity by paying attention to gestational age, history of illness to reduce stress levels.
