Abstract

Background & Objective: Childbirth preparation is an important aspect in reducing the risk of pregnancy complications and maternal and infant mortality, with family support playing a role in the physical and psychological readiness and decision-making of pregnant women. Differences in the characteristics of urban and rural areas have the potential to influence the form and level of family support received by pregnant women. This study aims to analyze differences in family support for childbirth preparation among pregnant women in urban and rural areas of Sumedang Regency. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted on 210 pregnant women, consisting of 105 respondents from urban areas and 105 respondents from rural areas. The sampling technique used proportionate stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a family support questionnaire covering informational, evaluative, instrumental, and emotional dimensions. Data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Result: The majority of respondents showed good family support, with a higher proportion in urban areas (76.19%) than in rural areas (67.62%). The average value of family support in urban areas was higher than in rural areas. The bivariate test showed a statistically significant difference in family support between the two areas (p <0.05). Conclusion: Regional characteristics influence variations in family support for childbirth preparation among pregnant women.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Anxiety is a common psychological problem experienced by pregnant women before childbirth. One factor that may influence anxiety levels is parity, as differences in pregnancy and childbirth experiences between primiparous and multiparous women can affect their readiness for labor. This study aimed to analyze the differences in anxiety levels between primiparous and multiparous pregnant women before childbirth in Sumedang Regency. Method: This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 68 pregnant women, including 32 primiparous and 36 multiparous women, selected using a probability sampling technique. Data were collected using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) questionnaire and analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test. Result: The results showed that all primiparous pregnant women (100%) experienced very severe anxiety. Among multiparous women, 18 respondents (50%) experienced severe anxiety and 18 respondents (50%) experienced very severe anxiety. Statistical analysis using the Mann–Whitney U test yielded a value of U = 99.00 with p < 0.001, indicating a significant difference in anxiety levels between primiparous and multiparous pregnant women. The mean rank of the primiparous group (49.41) was higher than that of the multiparous group (21.25), indicating that primiparous women experienced higher anxiety levels. Conclusion: There was a significant difference in anxiety levels between primiparous and multiparous pregnant women before childbirth in Sumedang Regency. Primiparous pregnant women experienced higher anxiety levels than multiparous pregnant women, suggesting that parity is an important factor associated with maternal anxiety prior to labor.
