Persepsi Ibu Hamil Tentang Kehamilan Risiko Tinggi di Puskesmas Tanjung Rejo Percut Sei Tuan

Abstract

Background : High-risk pregnancy is a condition that requires special attention due to its potential to cause complications for both the mother and the fetus. This study aims to explore the perceptions of pregnant women regarding high-risk pregnancy at Tanjung Rejo Public Health Center, Percut Sei Tuan. Method : This qualitative study used a phenomenological approach, involving five pregnant women identified as high-risk. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using data reduction, presentation, and verification methods. Results : The results show that pregnant women’s perceptions of high-risk pregnancy are influenced by personal knowledge, previous experiences, and information sources from healthcare providers and family. They recognize the importance of regular check-ups and preventive measures, yet some experience anxiety and uncertainty about potential risks. This study is expected to serve as a basis for healthcare providers to offer more effective education and psychological support for high-risk pregnant women.
