Abstract

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is a crucial indicator to assess public health, reflecting female deaths due to complications of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum per 100,000 live births. In Indonesia, MMR is still high, reaching 305 per 100,000 live births, mainly due to the lack of early detection of the high risk of pregnancy. Assisted activities for pregnant women in the Working Area of the Tirto I Health Center, Pekalongan Regency, to improve the detection and management of high-risk of pregnancy. This activity was carried out through a community empowerment program involving 32 pregnant women from Samborejo Village and Pandanarum Village, for eight months. The methods used include socialization, mentoring, and continuous education with the Islamic Religion and Health approach. The results of the activity showed an increase in pregnant women's knowledge about pregnancy risks, increased community participation, and early identification of risky medical conditions such as pre-eclampsia, KEK, anemia, and hypertension. Emotional and psychological support is provided through an Islamic values-based approach, which helps reduce stress and improve the mental health of pregnant women. Collaboration between the service team, village midwives, and health cadres strengthens efforts to detect and handle the high risk of pregnancy. This program successfully increased the knowledge of pregnant women by 13% and sufficient knowledge by 3% about the prenatal care. It reduced the risk of pregnancy complications, which ultimately contributed to the reduction of maternal mortality and infant mortality rates in the Tirto I Health Center Working Area.. Evaluation and follow-up show that the main goal is achieved and recommend future improvements. Efforts are needed to increase collaboration between various parties such as health offices, health centers, universities, and community organizations to create a stronger support network for early detection of high-risk pregnancies.

Abstract

Stunting in young children is a significant global health issue, and it remains a serious concern in Indonesia with persistently high prevalence despite various interventions. This study highlights the importance of early detection and prevention of stunting through anthropometric measurements such as height and weight. Data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) reveals that stunting rates in Central Java Province stand at 20.8%, with an increase in prevalence in Pekalongan District from 19.5% in 2021 to 23.5% in 2022. Stunting has serious consequences, including impaired brain development, reduced intelligence, and a higher risk of long-term health issues such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This research focuses on training health cadres to improve early detection of stunting through the Community Partnership Program (PKM), aiming to enhance cadres' knowledge and skills in stunting detection and prevention. The results show an increase in knowledge among cadres by 11.63 points for stunting detection and prevention, and 21.67 points for nutrition-related topics. Additionally, 80% of cadres successfully performed anthropometric examinations. Collaboration between midwives and health cadres is expected to reduce stunting rates by improving monitoring and more effective interventions.

Abstract

The highest maternal mortality rate in Pekalongan Regency in 2022 was recorded at Puskesmas Tirto 1, with 6 cases (17.64%) of the total cases in the regency. Out of 897 pregnant women in this area, 418 were classified as high-risk (46.60%), with a significant prevalence of anemia, preeclampsia, and malnutrition. This activity aimed to empower 35 pregnant women in two villages through education and training on pregnancy risk factors. The methods used included socialization, educational material delivery, health examinations, and practical risk assessment using the Poedji Rochjati Scoring Card (KSPR). Pregnant women were provided with guidance on pregnancy danger signs and the importance of routine check-ups, which included measuring body weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), blood pressure, and hemoglobin levels. The results indicate active participation from pregnant women who are highly interested in applying the knowledge they gained. An increase of 32.50 points in the mean knowledge score of pregnant women before and after the counseling sessions, measured through a questionnaire, serves as a parameter indicating the effectiveness of the counseling in enhancing their understanding of pregnancy risk factors. Through a demonstration of the KSPR (Pregnancy Risk Screening Card) use, participants were able to independently identify risks. This empowerment aims to raise awareness among pregnant women and the surrounding community about the importance of early detection and monitoring of high-risk pregnancies, which is expected to reduce maternal mortality rates in the region. The conclusion of this activity is that it successfully empowered pregnant women with the knowledge and skills needed to maintain their health during pregnancy, potentially reducing complications and maternal mortality in the region.
