Guide Book: Strategi Peningkatan Perilaku Monitoring Tekanan Darah pada Primigravida

Abstract

The blood pressure of pregnant women is an important factor to know, because an increase in blood pressure may be an early sign of complications and even danger of pregnancy. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the guide book as a behavioral strategy for monitoring blood pressure in primigravida women. This study applied a one group pretest-posttest design, which involved 30 pregnant women who were selected by consecutive sampling technique. Blood pressure monitoring behavior was measured by filling out a questionnaire. Differences in blood pressure monitoring behavior between before and after the intervention were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results of the Wilxocon test showed a p value = 0.000, so it was interpreted that there were differences in blood pressure monitoring behavior between before and after the intervention. Monitoring behavior increased significantly after the intervention. It was concluded that the intervention using the guide book was effective in increasing the blood pressure monitoring behavior of primigravida mothers.
