Smart Pregnant Women Movement: Education on Danger Signs and High-Risk Pregnancy in Blabak Village, Kediri Regency
Limited knowledge of pregnancy danger signs and high-risk conditions may contribute to delays in recognizing complications and seeking appropriate healthcare. This community service program aimed to improve pregnant women’s knowledge of pregnancy danger signs and high-risk conditions through the “Smart Pregnant Women Movement.” The program was conducted on November 10, 2025, in Blabak Village, Kediri Regency, and involved 18 pregnant women in the first to third trimesters. The intervention consisted of interactive health education, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions supported by PowerPoint presentations and educational leaflets. Knowledge was assessed before and after the intervention using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Before the intervention, 6 participants (33%) had good knowledge and 12 (67%) had moderate knowledge. After the intervention, the proportion of participants with good knowledge increased to 16 (88%), while only 2 (12%) remained in the moderate category. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-intervention knowledge scores (Z = −3.742; p < 0.001). The Smart Pregnant Women Movement was associated with improved knowledge of pregnancy danger signs and high-risk conditions and may serve as a practical community-based strategy to strengthen maternal health education.
