Abstract
Background: Early pregnancy remains a significant reproductive health issue in Indonesia, with approximately 10% of births occurring to mothers under 20 years of age (BPS, 2021). Early pregnancy can lead to complications such as preeclampsia, premature birth, and maternal death. Adequate knowledge of antenatal care (ANC) is crucial for optimal pregnancy health. Objective: To examine the relationship between the knowledge level of early-age pregnant women and ANC visits at the Obgyn Polyclinic of Dr. Sam Ratulangi Tondano Regional Hospital. Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design with 30 pregnant women under 20 years old at the OBGYN Clinic from January to December 2023. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS with a Chi-Square test. Results: Among respondents, 36.7% were aged <18 years, and 63.3% were aged 18-19 years. Education levels varied, with 26.7% having elementary school, 43.3% junior high school, and 30% senior high school education. ANC visits met standards in 53.3% of cases. The Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between knowledge and ANC visits (p-value = 0.007). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between pregnant women’s knowledge and ANC visits. Health education programs are necessary to reduce pregnancy and childbirth complications.
