variables that influence the skill to interpreting weight in health indicator card were
cader’s age (p= 0,043), duration for being a caders (p= 0,046), knowledge (p=
0,0001), and cader’s behaviour (p= 0,0001). The most influence variable of cader’s
skill was knowledge (p= 0,0001) with Exp(B) =89,023. The conclusion was age
factor, duration for caders, knowledge, and behaviour influence the skill of caders.
While caders education, training, skill developing, and midwife support were not
