Compliance of pregnant women in completing six antenatal care (ANC) visits (K6) remains a maternal health problem, particularly in the working area of Baumata Public Health Center, Kupang Regency. Behavioral and psychosocial factors, such as perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy, are thought to influence ANC visit compliance. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy with compliance of pregnant women in completing ANC K6 visits. This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. A total of 57 third-trimester pregnant women (>36 weeks of gestation) were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews and structured questionnaires, then analyzed using Chi-square tests at a 95% confidence level. The results showed significant relationships between perceived susceptibility (p=0.013), perceived benefits (p=0.002), and self-efficacy (p=0.001) with ANC K6 compliance. In conclusion, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy were significantly associated with compliance of pregnant women in completing ANC K6 visits.
