Pregnant women's knowledge related to integrated ANC services

Abstract

Complications of pregnancy and childbirth as the highest cause of maternal death can be prevented by regular pregnancy checks through Integrated Antenatal Care (ANC). Integrated Antenatal Services provided by trained and professional health personnel can prevent and detect complications in fetuses and pregnant women early so that undesirable things do not happen in the future. WHO data shows that the importance of Integrated ANC visits has not become a top priority for some pregnant women during their pregnancies in Indonesia. This scoping review aims to review the importance of Integrated ANC knowledge for pregnant women and the needs of Integrated ANC providers. The method in this review uses a scoping review technique. The scoping review research design was chosen because the reference sources used in the research were varied, originating from several articles. The results of this study showed that after carrying out the chi-square test, it was concluded that there was a relationship between knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women regarding Integrated Pregnancy Visits (ANC) with a p value of 0.02 (p < 0.05). The study conducted provides evidence to support the need for pregnant women in Integrated ANC services so that maternal and infant mortality rates are reduced.
