Abstract

ANC examination is an examination carried out on pregnant women which aims to improve the physical and mental health of pregnant women to the maximum so that they are able to face the delivery period, the transition period from the time after giving birth to when the uterus returns to normal as before pregnancy, as well as preparation for exclusive breastfeeding. ANC visits should be carried out four times during pregnancy, namely in the first and second trimesters, at least one visit each and in the third trimester at least 2 visits. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has hampered ANC visits for pregnant women due to the lack of knowledge of pregnant women about COVID-19. Objectives: To find out the knowledge of pregnant women about COVID-19 prevention, to find out ANC visits, to determine the relationship between knowledge of pregnant women about COVID-19 prevention and ANC visits. Design: A design using descriptive analytic method with a Cross Sectional design. Method: Total population is 39 people, with saturated sampling technique, the sample is 39 people. Findings: Most of respondents' Ante Natal Care Visits met the standards and that the majority of respondents had good knowledge about COVID-19 prevention. The result of the study is that there is a relationship between knowledge about COVID-19 prevention and ANC visits. Conclusion: During the pandemic, knowledge about preventing COVID-19 needs to be increased so that pregnant women continue to make ANC visits. Clinical Evidence: Each individual responds and has a different perception in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowledge of COVID-19 prevention aims to encourage pregnant women to continue to visit ANC because they comply with health protocols.
