Abstract: Nausea and vomiting are common problems in early pregnancy. Symptoms of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women that persist and get worse are called hyperemesis gravidarum. The causes of hyperemesis gravidarum are not exactly known, but it is supposed that they could be caused inter alia by psychological factors. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between the psychological state of pregnant women and the incidence of hyperemesis gravidarum. This was a literature review study by using three databases, namely Google Scholar, ClinicalKey, and Pubmed. The keywords used were psychological AND hyperemesis gravidarum. The result showed that the psychological conditions assessed in most literatures were anxiety disorders, depression, and stress. Pregnant women who suffered from anxiety and stress could trigger or worsen the depression. The higher level of anxiety would increase the chance of suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum. Therefore, pregnant women need additional psychological support during treatment and as a follow-up for pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum. In conclusion, the psychological state of pregnant women is related to the incidence of hyperemesis gravidarum.Keywords: psychological, hyperemesis gravidarum, nausea and vomiting Abstrak: Mual dan muntah merupakan masalah yang biasa terjadi pada awal kehamilan.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan keadaan psikologis ibu hamil dengan kejadian hiperemesis gravidarum. Jenis penelitian ialah literature review dengan pencarian data menggunakan tiga database yaitu Google Scholar, ClinicalKey, dan Pubmed. Kata kunci yang digunakan yaitu psikologis /psychological AND hiperemesis gravidarum/hyperemesis gravidarum. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bahwa kondisi psikologis yang dinilai pada sebagian besar literatur yang dikaji ialah mengenai gangguan kecemasan, depresi, dan stres.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a severe manifestation of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and it is associated with weight loss and metabolic abnormalities. It is known that abnormal laboratory values, including mildly elevated serum lipase level, could be associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. However, in this case report details of two women with hyperemesis gravidarum but with significantly elevated serum lipase levels were discussed. These patients presented with severe nausea and vomiting but without abdominal pain. They were found to have severely elevated lipase levels over 1,000 units/liter. In the absence of other findings of pancreatitis, they were treated with conservative measures for hyperemesis gravidarum, with eventual resolution to normal lipase levels. Although significantly elevated lipase level in pregnant patients with nausea and vomiting is a concern for acute pancreatitis, these two cases of significantly elevated serum lipase without other clinical findings of pancreatitis led to this report that serum lipase could be quite elevated in hyperemesis gravidarum and that it might not be an accurate biochemical marker for acute pancreatitis. Imaging studies are thus necessary to establish the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.

Background: Around half of all pregnant women experience vomiting, and more than 80% of women experience nausea in the first 12 weeks. Women with severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy may have hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), an entity distinct from nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP), which if left untreated may lead to significant maternal and foetal morbidity. In our study, we studied, clinical and laboratory parameters in patients presenting with excessive vomiting.

Physical and psychological changes experienced by pregnant women, especially hormonal changes, cause symptoms of nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy. Excessive nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy and persist throughout pregnancy will cause physical and psychological complications. The existence of psychological problems in pregnant women can predispose to nausea and vomiting which then worsens. Emotional problems are also associated with the incidence of nausea and vomiting becoming more severe. Methods: the authors conducted extensive searches by scientific journals through trusted and frequently used databases, namely PubMed, Springer, and Science Direct. The keywords used were "hyperemesis" AND "psychological" with journal publication filters, the last 4 years, randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, human research subjects. Conclusion: care that focuses on mothers by applying the principles of holistic care, where patients not only receive midwifery care physically and biologically but include psychological, social, spiritual and cultural by involving their husbands in midwifery care is proven to accelerate the physical and psychological recovery of hyperemesis sufferers.
