<![CDATA[Background: Antenatal Care (ANC) is an early preventive measure to detect risk factors during pregnancy and childbirth, reduce the maternal mortality rate (MMR), and monitor fetal well-being. One factor that encourages pregnant women to attend regular ANC visits is not only the provision of information about their health condition, but also the midwife's ability to listen to complaints, show empathy, and provide friendly service. Effective communication can create patient satisfaction, which ultimately influences adherence to follow-up visits. Purpose: To determine the relationship between midwife communication and pregnant women's satisfaction with antenatal care services. Method: This quantitative study used an analytical survey design and a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 20 pregnant women selected using a total sampling technique. The study was conducted in July 2025 at the Khomba Waliyauw Community Health Center, Sentani. The research instruments used were a midwife communication questionnaire and a patient satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate chi-square statistical tests. Results: Most midwives had good communication skills, and most pregnant women were satisfied with antenatal care services. The chi-square test yielded a ρ value of 0.000 (<0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between midwife communication and maternal satisfaction with antenatal care services. Suggestion: Future research should expand the scope of variables, such as facilities and medical personnel competence, to provide more comprehensive results.

Pendahuluan: Antenatal Care (ANC) merupakan upaya pencegahan dini untuk mendeteksi faktor risiko selama kehamilan dan persalinan, menurunkan Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI), serta memantau kesejahteraan janin. Salah satu faktor yang mendorong ibu hamil untuk melakukan kunjungan ANC secara rutin bukan hanya pemberian informasi mengenai kondisi kesehatannya, tetapi juga kemampuan bidan dalam mendengarkan keluhan, menunjukkan empati, dan memberikan pelayanan yang ramah. Komunikasi yang efektif dapat menciptakan kepuasan pasien, pada akhirnya memengaruhi kepatuhan terhadap kunjungan ulang. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui hubungan antara komunikasi bidan dengan tingkat kepuasan ibu hamil terhadap pelayanan antenatal care. Metode: Penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain survei analitik dan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 20 ibu hamil yang dipilih dengan teknik total sampling. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Juli 2025 di Puskesmas Khomba Waliyauw, Sentani. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan berupa kuesioner komunikasi bidan dan kuesioner kepuasan pasien. Data dianalisis menggunakan univariat dan bivariat uji statistik Chi-Square. Hasil: Sebagian besar bidan memiliki kemampuan komunikasi yang baik dan sebagian besar ibu hamil merasa puas terhadap pelayanan antenatal care. Uji Chi-Square menghasilkan nilai ρ sebesar 0.000 (<0.05). Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara komunikasi bidan dengan tingkat kepuasan ibu hamil terhadap pelayanan antenatal care. Saran: Penelitian selanjutnya diharapkan dapat memperluas cakupan variabel seperti fasilitas dan kompetensi tenaga medis agar hasil penelitian lebih komprehensi Kata Kunci: Ibu Hamil; Komunikasi Bidan; Kepuasan Ibu Hamil; Pelayanan Antenatal Care.]]>
