Description

Background: Since the 2020 version, the content of family emergency
planning (FEP) has been included in the Indonesian Maternal and Child
Health (MCH) handbook. However, there is still limited information on
whether pregnant women, especially those who are living in disaster-prone
areas like Yogyakarta Province, practice it in their day-to-day lives.
Purpose: to analyse the relationship between the current knowledge’s
satisfaction of disaster preparedness and the practice of FEP among
pregnant women based on the MCH handbook.
Methods: A quantitative descriptive survey with a cross-sectional design
was applied in this study. Data collection was conducted between March and
September 2024 using three questionnaires, which included demographic
data, current knowledge’s satisfaction with disaster preparedness, and
practice of FEP. The samples were 277 pregnant women. Data were
analysed with a chi-square test and Cramer’s V test.
Results: Most of respondents reported of having quite satisfied (43.32%)
with their current knowledge of disaster preparedness. As many as 135
respondents (48.73%) reported practicing FEP, but only 35.56% of them
completed the practice. There is a significant relationship between the
satisfaction of current knowledge about disaster preparedness with the
practice of FEP, but the association is weak (p=0.04, Cramer’s V=0.04).
Conclusions: The current knowledge’s satisfaction with disaster
preparedness and the practice of FEP has a significant relationship, but the
association is weak. Policymakers need to develop disaster preparedness
and FEP strategies based on the findings in the field and the identification
of barriers. Health care professionals should improve pregnant women’s
FEP and ensure that they practice it in their daily lives through various
activities such mobile reminders, group education, and integration into digital
platforms.
