The ATTITUDES TOWARD PREGNANCY DANGER SIGNS AT PMB NUR'AINI, BOYOLANGU DISTRICT, TULUNGAGUNG REGENCY

Abstract

Pregnancy is a highly anticipated period for women but 
also represents a vulnerable phase requiring continuous 
monitoring. Early detection of pregnancy complications can be 
achieved through maternal recognition of danger signs. 
However, many pregnant women remain unaware of these 
danger signs, leading to delayed treatment seeking behavior in 
several regions. This study aimed to determine maternal 
attitudes toward pregnancy danger signs at PMB Nur'aini, 
Boyolangu District, Tulungagung Regency. 
This observational study employed a descriptive design 
conducted from September 1-30, 2025. The research variable 
was the single variable of maternal attitudes toward pregnancy 
danger signs. The population consisted of all pregnant women 
at PMB Nur'aini. A sample of 21 respondents was selected 
using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Data 
were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using T
score calculations presented as percentages. 
Among 21 respondents, the majority (13 respondents, 
61.9%) demonstrated positive attitudes toward pregnancy 
danger signs in the first trimester. 
Information and information sources play crucial roles in 
shaping individual attitudes. Health information delivered by 
healthcare providers is more readily accepted by communities, 
contributing to positive attitudes toward health matters, 
including pregnancy danger signs.
