Pemanfaatan Layanan Kesehatan Dalam Upaya Pencegahan Kejadian Risiko Pada Ibu Hamil Melalui Layanan Konsultasi Dan Nutrisi Ibu Hamil Di Pinggiran Sungai Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Astambul Tahun 2026

Abortion is one of the causes of bleeding during pregnancy that contributes to the high Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR). The lack of knowledge among pregnant women, families, and health cadres regarding risk factors and danger signs of abortion can lead to delays in treatment. Based on data from the working area of Astambul Health Center, especially Pasar Jati Village, abortion cases are still relatively high. This community service activity aimed to increase the knowledge of pregnant women, pregnancy companions, and health cadres regarding risk factors and prevention of abortion in pregnant women. The method used was health education conducted in two meetings involving 33 respondents consisting of 11 pregnant women, 11 pregnancy companions, and 11 health cadres. The activities included pre-test, health counseling, blood pressure examination, weight and height measurements, post-test, and the handover of health equipment to village cadres. The results showed an increase in knowledge among all respondents. The percentage of pregnant women with good knowledge increased from 72.73% to 90.91%, pregnancy companions from 54.55% to 63.64%, and health cadres from 81.82% to 90.91%. Health education proved effective in improving community knowledge regarding risk factors and prevention of abortion in pregnant women. This activity is expected to improve awareness and early detection of pregnancy risks, thereby reducing pregnancy emergencies and maternal mortality.
