Abstract

Antenatal Care (ANC) visits are essential for monitoring maternal and fetal health and detecting pregnancy complications early. However, ANC completion rates are influenced by various factors. This study examines the associations between maternal knowledge, husband's support, and healthcare worker roles with ANC visit completion at Kayu Laut Community Health Center, Mandailing Natal Regency. Using a cross-sectional descriptive correlational design, 67 pregnant women were recruited through accidental sampling. Data were collected via validated questionnaires and analyzed using Chi-square tests.  Results showed significant associations between ANC completion and maternal knowledge, husband's support, and healthcare worker roles. Women with adequate knowledge, strong spousal support, and positive perceptions of healthcare workers demonstrated higher ANC completion rates.The findings emphasize the importance of educational interventions, family involvement, and improved healthcare service quality to enhance ANC adherence. Collaborative efforts among healthcare workers, husbands, and pregnant women are critical for optimizing maternal and neonatal health outcomes.

Abstract

Family preparedness is an important component in disaster mitigation and response efforts at the community level. However, the level of community preparedness is often influenced by individuals' ability to understand and use health information accurately. Health literacy plays a crucial role in enhancing the capacity of families to recognise risks, make informed decisions, and take effective preventive and disaster response actions. This study aims to analyse the relationship between health literacy and family preparedness in facing disasters. This study uses an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The research population consists of families living in disaster-prone areas. The sampling technique used is the probability sampling method. A total of 210 families met the inclusion criteria and were involved as research respondents. Data collection was conducted using a health literacy and family preparedness questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted univariately, bivariately using correlation tests, and multivariately using linear regression to identify factors influencing family preparedness. The research results show that a higher level of health literacy is significantly associated with a better level of family preparedness in facing disasters. These findings indicate that health literacy is one of the important determinants in improving family preparedness. Therefore, efforts to improve public health literacy need to be an integral part of the disaster preparedness strengthening strategy at the family and community levels.
