Preconception Care Practices and Factors Influencing Pregnant Women in Surakarta: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract
A major reason for the high maternal mortality rates and infant mortality rates is the disparity in healthcare services available to pregnant versus non-pregnant women. Preconception care encompasses various issues, including preventive medical practices and lifestyle changes. Factors such as age, history of antenatal care visits, parity, previous health conditions, and awareness of preconception care are known to affect the preconception care actions of women of childbearing age.
This study aims to determine preconception care practices and the factors that influence them. This study is a cross-sectional study. The study was conducted at the Sangkrah Community Health Center, Surakarta. The research instruments were questionnaires on socio-economics and demographics, obstetrics, gynecology and health history, and preconception care practices. Data analysis used the Chi Square statistical test and logistic regression.
The results showed that the variables of occupation (p=0.024) and level of knowledge (p=0.017) had a multivariate effect on the preconception care practices of pregnant women served at the Sangkrah Community Health Center in Surakarta, while the variables of education level, gravida, and parity had p-values >0.05. Prenatal care practices were 66.1% influenced by occupational and knowledge level factors, while the remaining 33.9% were influenced by other factors not examined in this study.
The conclusion of this study is that the most significant factors influencing prenatal care practices among pregnant women served at the Sangkrah Community Health Center in Surakarta are occupation and knowledge level.
