ABSTRACT
Pregnancy is a natural process that occurs to maintain the continuity of human civilization. Pregnant women are included in a vulnerable group so many health problems arise in pregnant women and even cause death. This can be proven by the high maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia. Indonesia is a developing country where maternal mortality is still a major problem, namely 126 per 100,000 live births. One effort to reduce maternal mortality is to carry out health checks through antenatal services that comply with standards set by the government. The aim of ANC is to prepare the best physically and mentally and save the mother and child during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, so that during postpartum the mother and child are healthy and normal physically and mentally. This type of research is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was 562 pregnant women in the working area of the Mungka Community Health Center, Limapuluh Kota Regency. The sampling technique is using a proportional stratified random sampling technique. The number of samples in this study was 75 people with a reserve of 10% of the minimum sample, namely 8 people, so the sample in this study was 83 people. The variables used in this study were mother's knowledge of ANC, mother's attitude towards ANC, mother's confidence in ANC, distance between mother's residence and ANC, mother's socio-economic status with ANC, mother's occupation with ANC, support from health workers with ANC, and family support with ANC. ANC. The data that has been obtained will be carried out using Univariate analysis, Bivariate analysis and Multivariate analysis. The results of this research explain that all variables are interrelated and have the same opportunities. The mother's lack of knowledge about ANC influences ANC attitudes and beliefs. Insufficient ANC visits are also associated with the distance to health facilities which is quite far. The socio-economic and employment conditions of pregnant women can support ANC visits but do not strengthen the relationship in carrying out ANC. The competition between health workers means that support from health workers is lacking and good family support is not yet a strong factor in carrying out ANC.
