The Relationship Of Knowledge And Education With Mother Participation In Pregnancy Mother Classes

Abstract

The class for pregnant women is a means of learning together about health for pregnant women in face-to-face form. One of the efforts made to overcome this is by holding pregnant women classes. The research objective was to determine the effect of implementing pregnant women's classes on increasing the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and education with mothers' participation in pregnant women classes. The method used is quantitative analytic with cross sectional design. The population used in this study were all pregnant women in their second and third trimesters, in the Mgrangen Subdistrict, Demak Regency with a sample of 48 people. Data were analyzed using the Chi Square test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge (PValue=0.000; OR=14.375) and education (PValue=0.000; OR=11, 357) maternal participation in pregnant women classes. It is suggested to health workers, especially midwives, to actively carry out class socialization for pregnant women during antenatal care visits.
