Abstract

A crucial and beneficial step in avoiding the development of hypertensive illnesses during pregnancy is to provide calcium supplementation. To lower the risk of pregnancy problems, special consideration should be given to the degree to which expectant mothers are knowledgeable about and adhere to the use of calcium supplements. Utilizing a quantitative methodology and correlational analytical design, this study seeks to examine the impact of calcium supplementation on the prevention of preeclampsia in expectant mothers. All pregnant women who were the targets of the study were included in the study population, with a total sample size of 90 respondents obtained using total sampling methods. Because the data being analyzed was on an ordinal scale, the Kendall's tau b correlation test was used to conduct bivariate analysis. With a correlation coefficient value of τ = 0.672 and a p value of 0.000 (0.01), the study's findings revealed a strong and statistically significant link between calcium supplementation and the occurrence of preeclampsia. According to these findings, calcium supplementation has a substantial impact on preventing preeclampsia and is crucial in lowering the risk of preeclampsia in expectant mothers.
