 RESULTS: There is a significant relationship between the knowledge factor and preeclampsia incidence with a p = 0.029 < 0.05. The analysis results obtained an odds ratio (OR) = 0.171, which means that pregnant women with inadequate knowledge have a 0.171 fold risk of developing preeclampsia. There is a significant relationship between the incidence of hypertension and preeclampsia incidence in pregnant women with a p = 0.009 < 0.05.
