Abstract

Childbirth is an important event that is always remembered in a woman's life. The choice of place of delivery will have an impact on the health of the birthing mother. Even though it is supported by good facilities and health workers, it is still found that births are carried out by health workers at home, this happened in Krueng Tho Village, Aceh Jaya Regency. The aim of this research is to analyze the level of knowledge of pregnant women and the attitudes taken in choosing a place of delivery in Krueng Tho Village, Darul Hikmah District, Aceh Jaya Regency. The sample in this study was part of pregnant women in 2011 and 2023. This research is a quantitative type with descriptive analytical methods. Determining the sample size in this study was calculated using a formula of 150 people. The sampling technique uses total sampling. Factors that influence the choice of place and delivery assistance include level of knowledge, income level, attitude, level of education, family support, distance to health facilities and age factors. It is hoped that this research can provide advice for health workers to pay more attention to pregnant women and women giving birth, especially in terms of choosing a place of birth and birth assistance, namely the need to increase attention to health service programs through socializing childbirth in health facilities.

Abstract

Hypertension is a growing public health concern. This study aimed to identify factors associated with hypertension among residents of Rentang Village, Darul Hikmah District, Aceh Jaya Regency. Employing a cross-sectional design with community participation, the research found a high prevalence of hypertension. Key risk factors included lifestyle factors such as high salt intake, physical inactivity, and overweight, as well as genetic predisposition. Additionally, environmental factors like stress, air pollution, and limited healthcare access may contribute to the hypertension burden. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive interventions to increase public awareness of healthy lifestyles, address genetic risk factors, and improve healthcare accessibility. Collaborative efforts between the government, community, and stakeholders are essential to reduce hypertension's impact on Rentang Village and surrounding areas.
