The Relationship of Unwanted Pregnancy with the Regularity of ANC at UPTD Puskesmas Jatirejo, Mojokerto District

Abstract

The unwanted pregnancy (KTD) occurs when one or both parties of the couple do not want a pregnancy to occur or a pregnancy is actually desired but not at that time. Unwanted pregnancy is directly related to poor utilization of health services or low attendance for visits to antenatal care. This study aims to determine the relationship between unwanted pregnancies and the regularity of ANC at the Jatirejo Community Health Center, Jatirejo District, Mojokerto Regency.

This research is quantitative, the data source comes from questionnaires and KIA books. The sample was taken by accidental sampling of 30 pregnant women respondents. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately, then statistical tests were carried out with Fisher's Exact Probability Test using the SPSS program.

Almost all of them did not have an accident, as many as 24 respondents (80%), only 6 respondents (20%) had an accident. Almost all of them regularly carry out ANC, namely 24 respondents (80%), those who do not carry out ANC regularly are still quite high at 20%. Bivariate analysis with statistical tests using Fisher's Exact Probability Test, obtained a P value of 0.001 < 0.05, which means there is a relationship between Unintended Pregnancy and ANC Regularity.

The results of this research can be a reference for research sites as a reference in providing midwifery care, especially pregnancy. Considering the importance of pregnancy monitoring through ANC activities, it is hoped that respondents and other pregnant women can play an active role for the health of the mother and baby
