Analysis of Antenatal Care Visit at the Work Area of Kilasah Health Centre Serang City in 2019

The government is obliged to guarantee equal access to antenatal care (ANC) between urban and rural areas. Indonesia Ministry of Health declares at least 6 time of
ANC visit through pregnancy. The high rate of maternal and infant mortality is partly due to the frequency of irregular pregnancy check-ups. This is a problem because not all pregnant women check their pregnancy regularly so that abnormalities that arise in pregnancy cannot be detected as early as possible. This study aimed to analyze
factors related to antenatal care (ANC) visits in the Kilasah Health Center Work Area Serang City in 2019. The research is a cross-sectional study. The research sample
was 91 midwives at the Work Area of the Kilasah Health Center, Serang City. From the results of the study, it was known that factors related to ANC visits in the Kilasah
Health Center Work Area were knowledge (p = 0.023), education (p = 0.000), and family support (p = 0.004). It is hoped that the the Health Centre more intensive in providing health education, so that public health knowledge will increase and there will be changes in public health behavior towards the better. Midwife need to otivate pregnant women to practice antenatal care at least 6 times as suggested by Ministry of Health as the standard.
