Refreshing Kader Kesehatan Dalam Deteksi Dini Risiko Tinggi Kehamilan Dan Persalinan di Kecamatan Nogosari Boyolali

Abstract

Based on PWS KIA data in 3 villages in Nogosari District (Keyongan, Potronayan and Kenteng), in January 2025, there were 21 pregnant women with high risk, and only 3 risk cases were reported by cadres. This shows that the number of high-risk cases reported by cadres is still low because cadres have not been trained in early detection of high-risk pregnant women. Seeing the potential and conditions in 3 villages in Nogosari District (Keyongan, Potronayan and Kenteng), it is necessary to develop a program that aims to improve the knowledge and skills of health cadres in early detection of high-risk pregnant women, namely the Cadre Refreshing Program on early detection of high-risk pregnant women. Furthermore, it is hoped that cadres will be able to report and accompany pregnant women until the delivery process and mothers, babies are healthy and safe. A total of 60 health cadres from 3 villages participated in the training activities, all of whom filled out the pretest and posttest questionnaires. The average pretest score related to knowledge of high-risk pregnancy & childbirth was 58 and increased to 92 in the posttest. Meanwhile, related to knowledge about childbirth preparation, the average pretest score was 72 and increased to 98 in the posttest. Through refreshing activities for cadre training in early detection of high-risk pregnancy and childbirth, it effectively increased cadre knowledge both in identifying high-risk cases and in preparing for safe childbirth. Refreshing activities for cadres are expected to be an input for cadres to further improve their roles, especially in providing assistance to high-risk pregnant women. Cadres can improve their skills by participating in training organized by midwives or other resource persons.
