in developing countries is 240: 100,000

research results Central Statistics

According to research Puti (2014) there
are factors causing this situation

high-risk pregnancy that affect

According Notoatmodjo (2012)
that the person is a knowledge base and

2. Knowledge of high-risk pregnancy in
pregnant women in the village
Cimanggu
Researchers obtain research results
that more than half (62.6%)
respondents' awareness of high-risk
pregnancies is good, less than half
(25.7%) of respondents have sufficient
knowledge and a fraction (11.7%) of
respondents have less knowledge.
Factors that affect the knowledge,
among others, education, occupation,
and age (Henry & Goddess, 2011).
Knowledge in this study are all
things that are known, understood,
applied by pregnant women on the
definition of high-risk pregnancy, the
signs and symptoms of high-risk
pregnancy, purpose, and benefits of
prenatal care and how to prevent high-
risk pregnancies.
Based on research conducted by
researchers to 179 respondents in 10
RW Village Cimanggu, the results of
the univariate analysis of data shows
that more than half of the respondents
5
had a good knowledge of as many as
112 respondents (62.6%). Good
knowledge of the respondents in this
study because the respondents get
information from a variety of formal
and informal terms, either from direct
experience (pregnant women
multigravida) or through the experience
of others. Based on interviews with
cadres and pregnant women, the
respondents in this study to get
information about high-risk
pregnancies through health care
midwives, health cadres in Posyandu,
KIA books, banners, information of
cadres and others.
The results of this study are
supported by research Dwi (2015)
regarding the knowledge of pregnant
women with implementation to 31
respondents and showed no correlation
score of knowledge of pregnant women
about pregnancy and danger signs in
pregnancy after counseling given by
volunteers.
The education level of respondents
in 10 RW Cimanggu village consists of
half of the respondents (58.1%) had a
secondary education, less than half of
respondents (41.3%) had primary
education and almost none (0.6%) has
education high. This is in line with
research Wati (2012) about the factors
that influence knowledge about the
nutritional needs of pregnant women
during pregnancy with the results
showed that 26 (55.3%) of respondents
with secondary education level. The
level of education can determine
whether or not a person easy to absorb
and understand the knowledge they
gain, in general, the higher the person's
level of education the better the
knowledge (Notoatmodjo, 2012).
Education can also affect a person,
including behavior, the higher one's
education,
Knowledge is also influenced by
factors of age-related experiences of
individuals. The study states that more
than half of the respondents were in the
age range 26-35 years as many as 95
respondents (53.1%). This is in line
with the research studies conducted by
Astuti (2011), where as many as
71.69% of pregnant women in the age
group between 20-35 years has a good
level of knowledge. 26-35 years age
category is early adulthood (MOH,
2009), which in this age range of young
adults belonging to the cognitive
capacity of formal operational period
(capable of logical thinking). This
causes the level of young adults have
the ability to understand, analyze, and
find a meeting point of ideas, ideas,3.
theories,
Researchers also get respondents
with gravida status as multigravida
mother as much as 113 (63.1%). This is
in line with research Sri (2008) with
the Mann-Whitney U test obtained a
value of 6.5 in which the mother
multigravida have good knowledge of
the danger signs of pregnancy, the
amount of experience that is more in
multigravida since been pregnant
before and given counseling or
counseling during pregnancy first.
According Zulfatunnisa (2016) which
states that already have experience
multigravida mother pregnant before.
In women who have been pregnant, the
mother already has experience on how
to cope with the discomfort during
pregnancy. Experience is the best
6
teacher, meaningful and is a source for
obtaining the truth of knowledge itself
(Zulfatunnisa, 2016).
The level of knowledge a person
can also be affected by the work. The
results of research showed that most
respondents are housewives as many as
123 respondents (68.7%). Henry &
Goddess (2010) says that work is
generally a time-consuming activity.
Working for pregnant women will have
an influence on the family.
Respondents in the study who had a job
as a housewife has a good knowledge,
because housewives have more time to
be exposed to information about high-
risk pregnancy. More housewives have
plenty of time to search for
information, but it is also time owned
more mothers so that mothers have
time for a visit to Posyandu.

Researchers get results obtained
chi-square test p-value = 0.030. So it
can be concluded that there is a
relationship role cadre with knowledge
of high-risk pregnancy in pregnant
women at 10 RW Cimanggu village.
Knowledge of respondents were either
influenced by formal and informal
information, either from direct
experience or through the experience of
others such as extension obtained from
health volunteers.
The results of this research was
supported by the results of research
Sukesih (2012) on factors related to
knowledge of pregnant women about
danger signs in pregnancy in
Puskesmas South Tegal Tegal City in
2012. The results obtained by using the
chi-square test obtained by value p <0,
05 (p = 0.001), which showed a
statistically significant association
regarding the exposure of information
by the role of cadres with knowledge of
pregnant women about danger signs in
pregnancy.
This is also supported by research
Sakinah (2014) concerning the
relationship improving knowledge,
attitudes and visit antenatal care (ANC)
pregnant women through
empowerment of ANC cadres. The
results obtained are significant
differences between before and after
the intervention in the experimental
group and the control group.
Information obtained by the
respondent can affect behavior and
have a good knowledge so that
pregnant women examination and
determine high-risk pregnancies and
their signs and symptoms. Information
and knowledge of high-risk
pregnancies obtained by extension
respondents cadres, media leaflets /
brochures, health services, banners,
books KIA and others. When pregnant
women get an accurate answer and the
right information, then pregnant
women can make the right decisions
and the right of the high-risk
pregnancy.
CONCLUSION
1. Most of the respondents said that
the role of cadres in Posyandu RW 10
Cimanggu village in the active
category.

2. More than half of respondents have
good knowledge about high-risk
pregnancy.
3. There is a relationship between the
role of cadres with knowledge of high-
risk pregnancy in pregnant women at
10 RW Cimanggu village.
SUGGESTION
1. For health workers and cadres
Posyandu health centers Ngamprah
expected to further improve the
information to pregnant women about

KIA, provide brochures and posters
while doing outreach to pregnant
women.
3. For pregnant women to maintain

reading the information contained in
the book of KIA and brochures given
to health workers and pregnant women
who have not come to Posyandu to
approach and consult cause they do not
come to Posyandu antenatal to get
counseling by a cadre of high risk.
4. Researchers suggest the next
researcher to make research results as
supporting data and reference for
further research. Researchers can then
examine factors cadre with knowledge
of the role of expectant mothers to
follow the high-risk pregnancy
counseling.
