The Relation Between Parental Characteristics, Socio-economic Status and Pregnancy Outcomes in Padang City, Indonesia
Abstract
Maternal nutritional levels during pregnancy play an important role during pregnancy. Abnormal nutritional levels in the mother can influence pregnancy outcomes. The socio-economic status of parents is thought to be a strong factor in pregnancy outcomes. The pregnancy outcome is not only the mother’s responsibility, but also the father plays an important role. Therefore, the nutritional problems of pregnant women must be a shared responsibility. This study aimed to examine the characteristics of pregnant women who received dadih vla Ed supplementation in the city of Padang. This research was an observational study on 88 pregnant women in the working areas of Nanggalo, Kuranji, and Andalas Health Centers in 2022. Data was analyzed using chi-square and Fisher exacts. Access to health care was related to pregnancy outcomes, while characteristics and social economic status of parents are not directly related to pregnancy outcomes. Most children born with low birth weight and low birth length come from mothers who do not work; the mother’s education level is high, and the father’s education level is high. Socio-economic status may be a potential factor in giving birth to children with a higher birth length. This study concluded that policymakers should target the socioeconomic status of parents to improve pregnancy outcomes.
