Abstract

The 2012 Indonesian Demographic Survey shows that the Maternal Mortality Rate is still high, this is also the case in Seluma District in 2015. Education disparities and regions are obstacles to access and quality of services received, so information technology is needed to facilitate the delivery of information to healthy individuals who do not regularly contact health services through the use of mobile phones. This study aims to determine the effect of Maternal Mobile Message (M3) on knowledge to antenatal care in pregnant women in Seluma District. The design of this study was quasi-experimental with the control group, an intervention in the form of an M3 program for pregnant women containing health promotion messages about pregnancy care. The samples were 60 pregnant women who were selected by purposive sampling. Data were analyzed with Wilcoxon test. There was an effect of Maternal Mobile Message (M3) on knowledge (p= 0.00), and attitude (p= 0.00) to antenatal care in pregnant women in Seluma District
