Brief Summary

The goal of this quasi-experimental interventional study is to learn whether an online-based Health Behavior Mother intervention during the first 1000 days of life can improve maternal care behavior in third-trimester pregnant women in the working area of the Pematang Jaya Community Health Center, Langkat Regency, Indonesia. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Does the online Health Behavior Mother intervention improve maternal knowledge regarding prenatal, intranatal, and postnatal care during the first 1000 days of life?
• Does the online Health Behavior Mother intervention improve maternal attitudes regarding prenatal, intranatal, and postnatal care during the first 1000 days of life?
• Does the online Health Behavior Mother intervention improve maternal practices regarding prenatal, intranatal, and postnatal care during the first 1000 days of life? Participants will be third-trimester pregnant women who live in the working area of the Pematang Jaya Community Health Center and agree to participate in the study. Participants will:
• Complete a pre-test questionnaire measuring maternal knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding care during the first 1000 days of life.
• Receive eight sessions of online health education related to prenatal care, childbirth preparation, and postnatal care.
• Participate in online discussions and monitoring through digital communication platforms.
• Complete a post-test questionnaire to evaluate changes in knowledge, attitudes, and practices after the intervention. The intervention includes educational materials on:
• Prenatal care (ANC visits, high-risk screening, maternal and fetal nutrition, psychological preparation for childbirth)
• Intranatal care (pain management, early breastfeeding initiation, emergency management)
• Postnatal care (maternal health, lactation counseling, family planning, and newborn care)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change from Baseline in Maternal Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices on Prenatal, Intranatal, and Postnatal Care

  Changes in maternal knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding prenatal to postnatal periods care before and after the eight-session online Health Behavior Mother 1000 Days of Life intervention. Knowledge is assessed using True/False items (correct =1, incorrect =0) and converted to a percentage score (0-100), where higher scores indicate better knowledge. Knowledge is categorized as good (76-100%), fair (65-75%), and poor (≤56%). Attitudes are measured using a five-point Likert scale (1-5) and converted to percentages (0-100); higher scores indicate more positive attitudes (\>50% positive, ≤50% negative). Practices related to antenatal care, birth preparation, postpartum care, and breastfeeding are assessed by interview and categorized as practice or not practice. The instrument showed good reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.855) and content validity through expert review. The primary outcome is the change between baseline (third trimester) and post-intervention.

  From enrollment (third trimester of pregnancy) to 1 month postpartum, during which 8 online counseling sessions were delivered and monitored.
