Knowledge, Attitude, Pregnancy Danger Signs, MCH HandbookAbstract
The utilization of maternal and child health services is still constrained by the low level of mothers’ knowledge and attitudes regarding the danger signs of pregnancy, as well as the use of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) handbook. According to the 2020 RISKESDAS report, analysis showed that 60% of mothers brought the MCH handbook during antenatal care visits, 10% did not bring it, and 30% did not have the handbook at all. One of the efforts to reduce the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is through the implementation of the MCH handbook program. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between pregnant women’s knowledge and attitudes regarding pregnancy danger signs and the utilization of the MCH handbook in the working area of UPTD Longkib Health Center, Subulussalam City, in 2024.
This study employed an analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, using both primary and secondary data. The population consisted of all pregnant women who owned an MCH handbook and resided in the working area of UPTD Longkib Health Center, totaling 542 individuals. The sampling technique used was random sampling, resulting in 84 respondents. The research instrument was a questionnaire.
The results of the study showed that of the 84 respondents, 35 (41.7%) had good knowledge, while 43 (48.8%) had negative attitudes. Statistical analysis using the Chi-square test with a 95% confidence level (df = 1) revealed a significant relationship between knowledge (p = 0.004 < 0.05) and attitudes (p = 0.004 < 0.05) of pregnant women regarding pregnancy danger signs and the utilization of the MCH handbook in the working area of UPTD Longkib Health Center, Subulussalam City, in 2024.
It is recommended that health workers provide counseling and health education through health promotion activities for pregnant women regarding the danger signs of pregnancy and the benefits of the MCH handbook.
