Aims: The postpartum period presents significant physical, emotional, and social challenges for mothers. One common issue is postpartum blues, which can negatively impact maternal well-being. This study aims to analyze the effect of yoga exercises on preventing postpartum blues in postpartum mothers using family health media as an intervention.
Instrument & Methods: A quantitative analytical study with a quasi-experimental approach was conducted. The study involved postpartum mothers at the Alisah Clinic, utilizing a total population sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and interviews, then analyzed statistically using SEM-PLS to evaluate the relationship between yoga practice frequency, duration, family support, and postpartum blues prevention.
Findings: The results show that yoga exercise significantly reduces postpartum blues symptoms. Higher frequency and longer duration of yoga sessions contribute to better mental and physical well-being. Additionally, the quality of family health media plays a crucial role in enhancing knowledge and promoting behavioral changes supportive of yoga practice. Family support was found to positively influence the consistency of yoga practice.
Conclusion: Yoga exercises, when practiced regularly with adequate duration and supported by quality health media and family involvement, are effective in preventing postpartum blues. These findings highlight the importance of accessible and structured yoga programs as part of postpartum mental health care.
