Gestational diabetes mellitus is a serious health threat that contributes significantly to maternal and infant morbidity and mortality due to complications such as hypertension and macrosomia. Prevention of this condition depends heavily on maternal understanding and preventive behaviors during pregnancy. This study aims to analyze the level of knowledge of pregnant women regarding gestational diabetes in the Sawah Lebar Community Health Center (Puskesmas) work area, Bengkulu City. This quantitative study employed a descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling was conducted using a total sampling technique, involving 45 pregnant women visiting the community health center as respondents using a questionnaire. Data analysis was performed to describe the frequency distribution of respondents' knowledge levels. The results indicate that pregnant women's understanding of gestational diabetes is still relatively low. Quantitative data revealed that the majority of respondents, 19 (42.2%), had poor knowledge. Meanwhile, 14 (31.1%) respondents had adequate knowledge, and a minority of only 12 (26.7%) had good knowledge. The main conclusion of this study confirms that the level of knowledge of pregnant women in the study area is still largely inadequate, necessitating intensified education and more effective dissemination of health information to minimize the risk of pregnancy complications.
ABSTRAK
Diabetes melitus gestasional merupakan ancaman kesehatan serius yang berkontribusi signifikan terhadap morbiditas dan mortalitas ibu serta bayi akibat komplikasi seperti hipertensi dan makrosomia. Pencegahan kondisi ini sangat bergantung pada pemahaman dan perilaku preventif ibu selama masa kehamilan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis gambaran tingkat pengetahuan ibu hamil mengenai diabetes gestasional di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sawah Lebar, Kota Bengkulu. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kuantitatif yang menerapkan desain deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan menggunakan teknik total sampling, melibatkan 45 ibu hamil yang berkunjung ke puskesmas sebagai responden melalui instrumen kuesioner. Analisis data dilakukan untuk mendeskripsikan distribusi frekuensi tingkat pengetahuan responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman ibu hamil mengenai diabetes gestasional masih tergolong rendah. Data kuantitatif mengungkapkan bahwa mayoritas responden, yaitu sebanyak 19 orang (42,2%), memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang kurang. Sementara itu, responden dengan pengetahuan cukup berjumlah 14 orang (31,1%), dan minoritas responden yang memiliki pengetahuan baik hanya sebanyak 12 orang (26,7%). Simpulan utama penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa tingkat pengetahuan ibu hamil di lokasi studi mayoritas masih kurang, sehingga diperlukan intensifikasi edukasi dan penyebaran informasi kesehatan yang lebih efektif untuk meminimalkan risiko komplikasi kehamilan.
