Background & Objective: Striae gravidarum is a skin change that commonly occurs in pregnant women, especially in the second and third trimesters, characterized by the appearance of lines on the skin and often accompanied by itching and discomfort. The lack of knowledge among pregnant women regarding striae gravidarum care leads to improper management. One non-pharmacological therapy that is safe and easy to apply is the use of olive oil. The purpose of this scientific paper is to apply maternity nursing care through health education and the use of olive oil in reducing itching caused by striae gravidarum in pregnant women.
Method: The method used was a descriptive case study on two third-trimester pregnant women in the Marunda Makmur area, Kampung Bidara, North Jakarta. The intervention provided included health education about abdominal skin care during pregnancy and topical use of olive oil twice.
Result: The results showed an increase in pregnant women's knowledge, indicated by an increase in pre-test to post-test scores (Mrs. A from 9 to 14 and Mrs. N from 7 to 13). In addition, there was a gradual decrease in itching complaints, with the skin condition becoming more moisturized and reduced scratch marks on the third day of intervention.
Conclusion: The conclusion of this scientific paper is that health education accompanied by the routine use of olive oil is effective in increasing knowledge and reducing itching complaints in striae gravidarum, so it can be recommended as a non-pharmacological nursing intervention for pregnant women.
