ABSTRAK

Pregnant women are a vulnerable group for contracting COVID-19 because they must visit health facilities to check their pregnancy. Apart from this, pregnant women are also more prone to depression and anxiety disorders. Therefore, the implementation of COVID-19 prevention is crucial for pregnant women. This study analyzes the factors that influence the behavior of preventing COVID-19 in pregnant women at RSIA Stella Maris. The research design used in this study was a descriptive analytic non-experimental study with a cross-sectional approach. Researchers distributed questionnaires to respondents, namely pregnant women who came to RSIA Stella Maris. Samples were taken using the accidental sampling method (n=102). Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and logistic regression. The results showed that knowledge about COVID-19 (p=0.000: PR=3.286), attitudes toward COVID-19 (p=0.000: PR=2.747), fear of COVID-19 (p=0.041: PR=1.801) and beliefs on COVID-19 information (p=0.019: PR=1.900) had a significant effect on COVID-19 prevention behavior. After the logistic regression test was conducted, it was concluded that knowledge about COVID-19 was the variable that most influenced COVID-19 prevention behavior (p = 0.000). With an Exp(B) value of 16,101 (95% CI 4,643-55,831), respondents who have less knowledge have a risk of 16,101 times less good behavior in preventing COVID-19 than those with good knowledge.
