<![CDATA[Introduction: Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest maternal mortality rates (MMR) in Southeast Asia with a rate of 189 per 100,000 live births based on the 2020 Long-Form Population Census. This figure needs to be significantly reduced to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target of fewer than 70 deaths per 100,000 live births. Proper antenatal care, including the use of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Handbook, plays a crucial role in reducing maternal mortality. Pregnancy care is vital to ensure fetal development, prevent pregnancy complications, and lower the risk of infant mortality during childbirth. Objectives: This study aims to conduct a scientific investigation to examine the relationship in the utilization of the MCH handbook with the level of maternal knowledge among pregnant women at the Tanah Kalikedinding Health Center. Methods: This observational analytic study used a cross-sectional design. The selection of 106 participants was carried out using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rho statistical test. Results: Among the respondents, 51 (48.11%) demonstrated adequate utilization of the MCH Handbook and 89 (83.96%) exhibited a high level of knowledge regarding daily care for pregnant women. The Spearman rho test revealed a significant relationship between MCH Handbook utilization and knowledge of daily care (p = 0.042). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the use of the MCH Handbook and pregnant women’s knowledge of daily care at Tanah Kalikedinding Health Center.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Menarche, the first menstruation, often elicits mixed reactions. Its occurrence is influenced by age and knowledge. Age shapes cognitive development and thinking patterns, while knowledge about menstruation affects perception. Limited knowledge and a decreasing age of menarche can hinder readiness for this milestone. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between age and the level of knowledge about menstruation with readiness for menarche among fourth to sixth-grade students at SDN Kertajaya, Surabaya. Methods: This observational analytic study uses a cross-sectional design with 63 fourth to sixth-grade pre-menarche students from SDN Kertajaya, Surabaya, selected via total sampling. Data were analyzed using Spearman's rho. Results: The study revealed a significant relationship between age and readiness for menarche (p = 0.003). The proportion of girls ready for menarche increased with age: 62.5% (9–<10 years), 73.1% (10–<11 years), and 100% (11–<12 years). The negative correlation (r = -0.364) indicated that readiness for menarche improved with increasing age. Knowledge level also significantly influenced readiness for menarche (p < 0.01). Most girls with good knowledge were ready (94.3%), while no readiness was observed among those with fair or poor knowledge. The strong positive correlation (r = 0.850) showed that better knowledge was associated with higher readiness for menarche. Conclusions: There is a relationship between age and readiness for menarche, and between the level of knowledge about menstruation and readiness for menarche among fourth to sixth-grade students at SDN Kertajaya.]]>
