Abstract

Maternal and Child Health Handbook (MCHHB) is a source of information for mothers and families in monitoring mothers and children’s health; besides that, the MCHHB is also a home-based record that can describe the process of child growth and development. However, the utilization of MCHHB in Indonesia has not been optimally used by mothers of toddlers; the low literacy of MCHHB evidences this. The study’s purpose was to analyze the participation factors in the class of pregnant women and classes of children under five with the utilization of the MCHHB by mothers. This type of research is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional time approach. The study population is mothers who have children under the age of two years (0-23 months); the cluster sampling technique is 119 respondents. Data analysis included univariate analysis, bivariate analysis with chi-square. The results of the study there is a relationship between the participation of the mother class (p value = 0.010) with the utilization of the MCHHB while the participation of the antenatal class was not significantly related to the utilization of the MCHHB (p value = 0.147).
