Abstract

Background: Approximately 75% of maternal deaths are caused by various pregnancy-related complications, including preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is characterized by blood pressure levels of 140/90 mmHg accompanied by proteinuria and can lead to serious complications such as maternal death, prematurity, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and fetal death. Its prevention largely depends on the knowledge of pregnant women regarding risk factors, signs and symptoms, and preventive measures. Objective: To describe the level of knowledge among pregnant women about the prevention of preeclampsia at Puskesmas (Community Healthcare Center) 1 Kembaran. Method: This study used a descriptive quantitative design involving 83 pregnant women selected through consecutive sampling. The instrument used was a 15-item questionnaire using the Guttman scale (true/false). Univariate data analysis was presented in the form of frequency and percentage distributions. Results: The findings showed that the majority of pregnant women had a good level of knowledge (53.0%), followed by a moderate level (39.8%), and a low level of knowledge (7.2%). Conclusion: Most respondents demonstrated a good level of knowledge regarding preeclampsia prevention, which is expected to contribute to reducing the risk of pregnancy complications.
