Development of a Management Model for Hyperemesis in Pregnant Women Through the "Vibratory Emesis Massage" (VEM)
Development of a Management Model for Hyperemesis in Pregnant Women Through the "Vibratory Emesis Massage" Nursing Intervention at Prof. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Hospital, University of North Sumatra
Tutkimuksen yleiskatsaus
Yksityiskohtainen kuvaus
Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition characterized by severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that may affect nutritional status, fluid balance, and quality of life. Non-pharmacological therapies such as acupressure and massage stimulation have increasingly been used as complementary approaches to reduce symptoms during pregnancy.
This study developed a nursing intervention model called Vibratory Emesis Massage (VEM), which combines vibratory stimulation and acupressure at the Pericardium 6 (P6) point using a wearable wristband device. The intervention was designed to reduce nausea and vomiting symptoms in pregnant women through peripheral nerve stimulation and relaxation mechanisms.
The study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design involving 240 pregnant women diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum at Prof. Dr. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Hospital, University of North Sumatra. Participants were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received Vibratory Emesis Massage therapy for 15-20 minutes per session.
The severity of nausea and vomiting was measured using the Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE-24) questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U Test to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.
The study aimed to provide evidence for the effectiveness of Vibratory Emesis Massage as a practical, safe, non-invasive, and nurse-led intervention for managing nausea and vomiting in pregnant women.

Toimenpiteen kuvaus |
Aikaikkuna |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in the Severity of Nausea and Vomiting Symptoms.
Aikaikkuna: Assessed at baseline (pre-test, prior to receiving the device stimulation) and reassessed at the post-test evaluation phase (following the completion of the assigned therapy sessions).
|
The frequency and clinical severity of hyperemesis gravidarum are assessed using the researcher-modified Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE-24) questionnaire. For clinical macro-level analysis, the continuous index scores are converted into an ordinal scale: Score 1 : Mild category (PUQE index score <6). Score 2 : Moderate category (PUQE index score 7-12) Score 3 : Severe category (PUQE index score >13) |
Assessed at baseline (pre-test, prior to receiving the device stimulation) and reassessed at the post-test evaluation phase (following the completion of the assigned therapy sessions).
