Abstract

Maternal mortality can still be largely prevented if it is followed by changing patient behavior, quality health services by institutional providers, or health service system policies. Factors that cause maternal mortality that can still be prevented are patient factors, factors of health personnel, facilities and infrastructure factors, and referral factors. The number of maternal mortality in Bekasi District in 2015 was 36 cases. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that contribute to maternal mortality. The research design was descriptive analytic with a cross-sectional method. The research sample was obtained from 32 samples of OVM and RMM documents. The results of bivariate analysis using chi-square, the factors of maternal characteristics with a value of ρ> 0.05 indicated that maternal age, parity, the distance of pregnancy, comorbidities did not contribute to maternal mortality that can be prevented. While at the level of education showed the value of ρ = 0.02 means that the level of maternal education plays a role in maternal mortality which can be prevented. In the factor of health personnel, showed the value of ρ> 0.05, so that the resources of health workers did not play a role in maternal mortality that can be prevented. In the referral factor, the referral case with a value of ρ = 0.012 and the referral delay indicated the value of ρ = 0.007 means that the referral factor plays a role in preventing maternal mortality. In terms of facilities and infrastructure, the value of p> 0.05 means that the place of delivery and availability of health facilities did not play a role in preventable maternal mortality. The level of maternal education, referral cases, and referral delays were factors that contribute to preventable maternal mortality. Cross-sectoral cooperation and strengthening of health service systems from various lines and community empowerment systems were very important to reduce maternal mortality in the future.
