Abstract: Previous studies
show that knowledge of prenatal care in rural areas remains low that affects to
bad behavior, so developing health promotion models is needed to improve
prenatal care knowledge, attitude and behavior. This study aimed to develop
health promotion model of prenatal care in rural area based on needs
assessment. Study was conducted on June 2015 by qualitative approach involving
first 16 pregnant women in third trimester with risky pregnancy as key
informants and 16 family members living with them and know their daily life, 27
midwives and 3 religious leaders as additional informants. Data collection
techniques were in-depth interviews and observation for pregnant women and
family, then focus group discussion for midwives and religious leaders.
Analysis used was Miles and Huberman model by data reduction, data display and
conclusion. Based on needs assessment, health promotion media is needed by book
for pregnant women with attractive design that features images, colors and
complete explanation. Book is selected because of pregnant women’s preference
and needs, characteristics of rural areas and infrastructure availability.
Prenatal care materials need to be added from book containing child and
maternal health including prenatal checkup by midwives, danger pregnancy signs,
causes, consequences, prevention, recommended and unrecommended food, breast
care ways, pregnancy exercise and fetal development. Health promotion methods
are lectures and discussions in pregnant women’s class.
