<![CDATA[Background: Normal infant development is highly dependent on the affectionate response between mother and baby. This response can be formed through the bonding attachment process. Lack of affectionate response between mother and baby in the form of bounding attachment will affect the infant's growth and development process such as stereotypical behavior, abnormal social behavior, decreased motoric, cognitive and verbal skills and can even increase infant mortality rates (IMR).Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of health education about bonding attachment using leaflet media on the knowledge of pregnant women in the third trimester.Methods: The type of research used is Pre Experimental with a one group pre test-post test design, the population in this study were all pregnant women in the third trimester in the Betungan Health Center work area, with a sample of 35 primigravida pregnant women in the third trimester using purposive sampling techniques. Using primary data, processed univariately and bivariate. This study was conducted from December 2023 to January 2024 in the Betungan Health Center work area.Results: The results of univariate analysis of 35 pregnant women in the pre-test, the majority of 26 (74.3%) respondents had poor knowledge, in the post-test the majority of 21 (60%) respondents had good knowledge. The results of bivariate analysis using one samples t-test showed a p-value of 0.021, because the p-value <0.05 means that there was an increase in pregnant women's knowledge about bonding attachment after the intervention.Conclusion: It is expected that health workers, especially midwives, will use this research as input in efforts to improve the quality of services related to the provision of health education about bonding attachment using leaflet media to improve the knowledge of pregnant women in the third trimester]]>
