ABSTRACT: Maternal health care
knowledge affects prenatal care and pregnanci’s outcome. Antenatal care is one
opportunity to increase maternal health care knowledge. This study aims to
investigate the association between antenatal care visits and level of maternal
health knowledge among postpartum women in RSUD Majenang. This study was a
cross sectional design. The sample was thirty five Postpartum women who
admitted in RSUD Majenang on 12th May to 12th June with criteria: being on post
partum period, had aterm pregnancy, could show KIA books, had maximally senior
high school graduated and performed antenatal care with obstetric and
gynecologist maximally twice during pregnancy. Antenatal care visits assessed
by questionnaire and antenatal visits record in KIA book. Level of maternal
health care knowledge was assessed by questionnaire and interview. This study
found 62.9% of total respondents had good antenatal care visits, 28.6% moderate
and 8.6% had less antenatal care visits during last pregnancy. 57.1% of total
respondents had moderate maternal health care knowledge, 31.4% less and 11.4%
had good maternal healthcare knowledge. Spearman Rank test with the
significance level = 0.05 showed p value = 0, 293, it
means there is no significant association between antenatal care visits and
level of maternal health care knowledge. Conclusion, the un significant
association between antenatal care visits level of maternal health care
knowledge among postpartum women in RSUD Majenang may caused by many factors,
such as the respondents belief about maternal health care information, diverse
information resources, insufficient education materials from health care
providers and lack of anteatal care quality assessment from health ministry.
