Abstract

Introduction Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in Indonesia remain high. One effort to address this issue is increasing the use of contraception, particularly Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC) such as the Post-Placental Intrauterine Device (IUD). However, the coverage of post-placental IUD use remains low. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge level and perception with decision-making regarding post-placental IUD use among third-trimester pregnant women. Method This study used a descriptive correlational design and was conducted in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas I Denpasar Timur from April to May 2025. The sample consisted of 38 respondents selected using purposive sampling, and data were collected through questionnaires measuring knowledge and perception. Result The results showed that 44.7% of respondents had sufficient knowledge, 31,6% had negative perceptions, and 52.6% planned to use other contraceptive methods. The Chi-Square test indicated a significant relationship between knowledge and decision-making (p = 0.004) and a highly significant relationship between perception and decision-making (p = 0.000). Conclusion It is concluded that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and perception with decision-making regarding post-placental IUD use. It is recommended that health workers intensify education and counseling for third-trimester pregnant women regarding the benefits, effectiveness, and safety of post-placental contraception.

Introduction: The global maternal mortality rate (MMR) has decreased to 72.9 per 100,000 live births, while in Indonesia it remains at 189 per 100,000 live births. In Central Java Province, the MMR was recorded at 62.27 per 100,000 live births. In Pekalongan Regency, the maternal mortality rate fluctuated, increasing to 27 cases in 2021 and decreasing to 18 cases in 2024. Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal death, increasing maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The high number of preeclampsia cases at RSI PKU Muhammadiyah Pekajangan prompted this study to analyze factors associated with the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women.

Independent variables included maternal age, parity, history of hypertension, and obesity, while the dependent variable was the incidence of preeclampsia. Analysis used the Chi-Square and Odds Ratio tests. Result: The results of the study showed a relationship between maternal age (p=0.023; OR=0.376), history of hypertension (p=0.000), and obesity (p=0.000) with the incidence of preeclampsia. Parity was not statistically related (p=0.732), Data analysis used the Chi-Square test and Odds Ratio (OR). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between age, history of hypertension, and obesity with the incidence of preeclampsia, while parity is not significantly related to pregnant women at RSI PKU Muhammadiyah Pekajangan
