<![CDATA[The first cause of maternal death in East Java is caused by preeclampsia. The impact of preeclampsia can be physiological and psychological. The other impact is driven by the lack of social support like husbands’ support, families, friends, and the environment, which could worsen mothers’ preeclampsia. Social support can encourage pregnant women with preeclampsia to overcome stress, anxiety, and depression. The study was to describe the social support of pregnant women with preeclampsia at dr. Abdoer Rahem hospital Situbondo. This study used a descriptive-analytic study with a total sample of 60 pregnant women with preeclampsia. The instrument in this study used a Medical Outcomes Study: Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS) questionnaire consisting of 19 questions. Data analysis in this study used univariate analysis.
