Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of midwife and family support in the utilization of the Maternal and Child Health Handbook by pregnant women. Study used a quantitative cross-sectional design. The study site was the Kalianda Community Health Center, South Lampung, and included all pregnant women in their first to third trimesters registered with the KIA register. A purposive sampling method was used to select 120 pregnant women, involving 20 midwives as additional data sources. The research instrument, a structured questionnaire, was tested for validity and reliability, showing good results (validity coefficient r = 0.74–0.82; Cronbach's Alpha = 0.85). Data were collected through direct interviews by trained enumerators and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis techniques, including the Chi-square test. The results show the majority of respondents were aged 20–35 and had a relatively high level of education, which positively impacted their ability to understand health information. Good midwife support was significantly associated with the utilization of the KIA Handbook, with 83.3% of respondents who received good support successfully using the handbook. Family support also showed a positive influence, with 76.4% of respondents who received good support being able to use the KIA Handbook efficiently.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health concern in Indonesia. Prevention during the premarital period is essential, as risk factors such as anemia, undernutrition, and early pregnancy (<20 years) are often established before conception. To address this, the Ministry of Health developed the KesCatin application as a digital innovation to enhance premarital reproductive health education and screening. This study aimed to explore the implementation process, challenges, and opportunities of the KesCatin application in improving digital-based premarital health services as part of stunting prevention efforts in Pringsewu District. A descriptive qualitative design was employed. Data were collected through four Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving 35 cross-sector program managers and in-depth interviews with 26 brides-to-be who had used KesCatin. Data were analyzed thematically following Braun and Clarke’s six-step framework, supported by source triangulation and member checking for validation. All 5,818 prospective brides registered in January–June 2024 received digital health screening and counseling via KesCatin. However, 3.2% were anemic (Hb <12 g/dL) and 1.8% had chronic energy deficiency (MUAC <23.5 cm). Thematic analysis identified three main themes: (1) strong cross-sector collaboration, (2) improved access to reproductive health information, and (3) barriers including poor internet connectivity, limited digital literacy, and absence of offline features. KesCatin has significant potential to strengthen premarital health services and support stunting prevention. To optimize its impact, offline access, user training, and continuous monitoring are recommended.
