The population in this study were pregnant women, intervention in the form of prenatal yoga exercises, comparison without prenatal yoga exercises, and the outcome in anxiety and sleep quality. Data processing was carried out by the Review Manager (RevMan 5.3) by calculating the standardized mean difference to determine the research model that was combined and formed the final meta-analysis result.
Results:A total of 10 articles were reviewed in this study on the effectiveness of prenatal Yoga on anxiety and as many as 3 articles on sleep quality. Studies showed that prenatal Yoga significantly reduce anxiety during pregnancy (SMD= -0.84; 95% CI -1.53 to -0.16 p= 0.020). Prenatal yoga could also reduce sleep disorders and improve sleep quality as shown in statistics (SMD= -1.13; 90% CI -2.06 to -0.21 p= 0.020).
