Pemberian jahe instan terhadap kejadian mual muntah dan asupan energi pada ibu hamil trimester pertama
Abstract: Pregnancy causes
increased energy metabolism, therefore needs of energy and other nutrients
increase during pregnancy. Lack of energy and nutrients could adversely affect
the mother and fetus. Nausea and vomiting is a common problem in the first
trimester of pregnancy. If not treated the mother and fetus can be at risk of
malnutrition due to lack of energy intake. Traditional treatment is an option
that is considered safe. Ginger has been used to treat a variety of medical
problems including nausea and vomiting. Ginger works in the digestive tract by
increasing the gastric and intestinal motility.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of instant
ginger containing 290 mg ginger juice, to reduced the incidence of nausea and
vomiting of pregnancy and increased maternal energy intake during the 24 hours.

subjects were drawn at random and given the instant ginger or placebo, 2 times
a day for a week. All of the subjects were assessed on the level of nausea,
vomiting and a 24-hour energy intake during pre and post intervention. The use
of drugs or supplementation from the doctor/midwife were recorded and not be
stopped.
Results: The rate of nausea and vomiting decreased significantly in the
ginger group (52%) compared to placebo (17.7%) (p<0.05). Instant ginger may
reduce nausea and vomiting rate 6 times higher than placebo (p<0.05). The
average amount of energy intake (calories) for 24 hours increased significantly
in the ginger group (1629.58 kcal ± 468.04 kcal; p<0.05) compared to placebo
(1160.27 kcal ± 341.85 kcal; p>0.05). Instant ginger may increase the
