Abstract

Perineal rupture is a complication of childbirth that can increase the risk of bleeding and infection in the mother. One preventative measure that can be performed during pregnancy is perineal massage, which is influenced by the level of knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women regarding perineal massage and reducing perineal rupture at the Manis Mata Community Health Center (UPTD), Manis Mata District, Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan Province in 2024. This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample population was all 45 pregnant women visiting the Manis Mata Community Health Center (UPTD), using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a knowledge and attitude questionnaire and a perineal massage observation sheet. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed that the majority of respondents had high knowledge (54%) and positive attitudes (55%) toward perineal massage. Fifty-three percent of respondents performed perineal massage regularly. The bivariate test results showed a significant relationship between pregnant women's knowledge and perineal massage practice (p-value = 0.000) and a significant relationship between pregnant women's attitudes and perineal massage practice (p-value = 0.032). The conclusion of this study indicates that pregnant women's knowledge and attitudes are significantly related to the practice of perineal massage as an effort to reduce the risk of perineal rupture.
