Abstract

Background: Complications during pregnancy is one of the variables increasing the maternal death rate.  To reduce or prevent maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, antenatal care (ANC) visits were implemented. An antenatal care visit is pregnancy monitoring which is intended to inspect the health of the mother in general, including complications of pregnancy. It also aims to prepare a well-born neonate and a healthy mother; therefore, adherence to ANC is important. This study was conducted to determine the maternal determinant variables related to adherence to ANC.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out with an analytical approach. The statistical population of the research consisted of 30 pregnant women who were in the third trimester. The research design indicated the correlation between variables. A univariate data was used for the analysis of variables, namely maternal age, parity, and pregnancy diagnosis. While the bivariate analysis was performed using Fisher’s exact test. The study was conducted in Slawi Primary Health Centre, Indonesia.
Results: The results showed that 86.67% of pregnant women conducted ANC visits regularly. According to maternal determinants, it was revealed that ANC had a correlation with age and parity (P=0.02 and P=0.04, respectively). However, there was no correlation between pregnancy diagnoses and ANC (P=0.08).
Conclusion: There were correlations of age and parity with ANC; nevertheless, no correlation was found between pregnancy diagnosis and ANC.
