Maternal knowledge is one of the indirect causes of maternal mortality in Indonesia. Maternal knowledge that mothers must possess includes knowledge about pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Maternal knowledge should be provided during pregnancy. The aim of this study is to identify maternal knowledge in postpartum women who have a history of the frequency of pregnancy visits according to the minimum standard.
A descriptive quantitative design was performed by assessing maternal knowledge to postpartum mothers using an online questionnaire which conducted in 2020 at two public health centers of Surabaya, Indonesia. A sample of this research involved postpartum mothers who completed inclusion criteria, namely physiological postpartum mothers and had regular pregnancy at least 6 antenatal care (ANC) visits. In contrast, the exclusion criteria were postpartum mothers who were not included in the target areas of research. It uses random sampling techniques and performs an analysis using descriptive statistics.
Three research questions showed a large percentage of wrong answers, namely preparation to face complications (64%), contraceptive methods in breastfeeding mothers (50%) and the first time using contraception during childbirth (42%). Meanwhile, all the correct results (100%) are exclusive breastfeeding and supplementary feeding for babies.
Completing minimal standards of ANC visits cannot ensure adequate maternal knowledge, particularly crucial health information that influences maternal and neonatal health status.
产妇知识是印度尼西亚孕产妇死亡的间接原因之一。母亲必须掌握的产妇知识包括有关怀孕、分娩和产后的知识。产妇知识应在孕期提供。本研究的目的是确定有按最低标准进行孕期检查次数史的产后妇女的产妇知识水平。
采用描述性定量设计，于2020年在印度尼西亚泗水的两个公共卫生中心，通过在线问卷对产后母亲的产妇知识进行评估。本研究的样本包括符合纳入标准的产后母亲，即生理状态正常的产后母亲且至少有6次定期产前检查（ANC）。相反，排除标准为不属于研究目标区域的产后母亲。采用随机抽样技术，并使用描述性统计进行分析。
三个研究问题显示错误答案的比例很高，即应对并发症的准备（64%）、母乳喂养母亲的避孕方法（50%）以及分娩时首次使用避孕措施（42%）。同时，所有正确结果（100%）是关于婴儿纯母乳喂养和补充喂养的知识。
完成最低标准的产前检查次数并不能确保产妇具备足够的知识，尤其是影响母婴健康状况的关键健康信息。
