Abstract

Family support plays a vital role in promoting the health of pregnant women, particularly in ensuring they meet their daily nutritional needs. This qualitative case study was conducted in Kelurahan Baru, Pasar Rebo District, East Jakarta, and focused on investigating how family support contributes to increasing pregnant women’s awareness of nutritional adequacy. The study involved pregnant women and their closest family members, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to gain a greater insight into how family support influences nutritional behavior. The findings show that husbands and mothers-in-law are perceived as the most influential sources of support. Pregnant women reported receiving emotional encouragement, help with food preparation, and collaborative decision-making, all of which increased their nutritional awareness and consistency in maintaining a healthy diet. Additionally, the study identified the family's nutrition knowledge, communication quality, and access to nutritious foods as key factors that shaped the effectiveness of support. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the importance of involving close family members in maternal nutrition efforts. Empowering families through education and encouraging their active involvement in maternal care can be a strategic approach to improving both maternal and fetal health outcomes during pregnancy.

Abstract

A critical issue during adolescence is reproductive health, particularly teenage pregnancy. One of the factors contributing to teenage pregnancy is the low level of knowledge among adolescents about sexuality and reproductive health, which can lead to negative behaviors. Adolescents' knowledge and attitudes are crucial in efforts to prevent teenage pregnancy. This study aims to determine the relationship between adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes in preventing teenage pregnancy. This research consists of three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The study was conducted at MA Al-Ihsan, Pondok Gede, over an effective period of three weeks in August 2024. The research method used was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The data used in this study were primary data, collected from 99 students (both male and female) at MA Al-Ihsan, using total sampling. The data analysis technique applied was the Chi-Square test. The results of the study indicate that knowledge plays a significant role in shaping adolescents' attitudes toward preventing pregnancy. These findings highlight the importance of early reproductive health education. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between knowledge and adolescents’ attitudes in the effort to prevent teenage pregnancy.
