Analisis Determinan Faktor Kurang Energi Kronik (KEK) pada Ibu Hamil dengan Modifikasi Teori Lawrence Green dan Teori Snehandu B. Kar

Abstract

Over 5 million kids die annually, and 800 women worldwide pass away from pregnancy- and childbirth-related problems nearly every day. A risk factor for maternal and neonatal mortality is chronic energy deficiency (CED) during pregnancy. This study modified Snehandu B. Kar and Lawrence Green's ideas to investigate the elements that determine CED factors in pregnant women. An analytical survey using a cross-sectional technique was employed in this study. Between August and September of 2023, 97 controls and 97 cases existed. Purposive sampling was the sampling method; chi-square was utilized for bivariate analysis, and a logistic regression test was employed for multivariate analysis. According to the statistical study, there is a substantial correlation (p<0.05) between CED and the following factors: education, gravida, parity, pregnancy interval, and husband support. In contrast, there were no significant relationships found between CED and age, knowledge, occupation, antenatal care (ANC) examination, intention to become pregnant, independence in making health decisions, the role of health workers, support from family and health cadre, transportation facilities, or ease of accessing health information (p > 0.05). Gravida was the most significant factor, according to multivariate statistical analysis (p<0.05). Pregnant women's CED was significantly correlated with gravida, parity, education, husband support, and the length of pregnancy. Gravida is the primary cause of CED. We advise providing teenagers the FE tablets and teaching them the value of integrated services in the classroom, as well as adolescent nutrition.
