Abstract

Based on IDHS (Indonesian Demographics Health Survey) data in 2017, the antenatal care (ANC) services provided by competent healthworkers is 97.5% in the first visit (K1) and 77.4% in fourth visit (K4). Meanwhile, based on Growth Chart record, it is found that Low Birth Weight (LBW) cases is still high (7.1%). This research aimed to determine the quality of service of ANC in Primary Health Care (PHC) and Hospitals and to analyse the factors related to LBW. This research was conducted using secondary data from IDHS in 2017 with cross-sectional design. The number of samples in this study is 16,342 and data were analysed using logistics regression. The results of the study shows that the proportion of ANC access in PHC is 93.38%, with no significant differences compared to hospitals (93.40%). Univariate analysis shows the percentage of LBW is 7.14% and the proportion of respondents accessing low quality of ANC services is 93.27%. Bivariate analysis shows there is a relationship between quality of ANC service and LBW (P value: 0.003). Multivariate analysis shows that the respondents who experienced low quality of ANC have a risk of experiencing deliveries with LBW of 1.56 times compared to good quality of ANC (OR = 1.56; 95% CI = 1.05-2.39) and (AOR = 1.71; 95% CI = 1.21-2.41). LBW could result in neonatal death, asphyxia and other complications. In order to reduce these problems and complications, pregnant women should avoid risk factors of LBW and accessing adequate and qualified ANC. It is suggested for the Midwives to provide appropriate health monitoring for pregnant women. Also, health facilities should be provided to accommodate ANC services in order to maintain healthy condition for babies and mothers throughout the pregnancy.
