PARENTING PREPARATION EDUCATION IMPROVES SELF EFFICACY IN PREGNANT WOMEN
Background: In Indonesia, 42.3-68.7% of pregnant women have low self-efficacy and are not physically and knowledge-wise ready to become mothers. Willingness to become parents is very important to create a better future generation. Education with audio-visual media is preferred and easy to understand. This study aims to determine the effect of education on preparation for becoming parents on the self-efficacy of pregnant women. Method: The design of this study was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test post-test non-equivalent with control group design approach. The sample size was 36 people, namely pregnant women who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria with purposive sampling and data analysis with Mann Whitney. Result: The average increase in self-efficacy in the intervention group was greater than in the control group (10.72> 5.50). The results of the statistical test showed a p-value of 0.019 (p <0.05), namely there was an effect of education on preparation for becoming parents on the self-efficacy of pregnant women. Conclusion: Education about preparing to become parents using animated videos can be applied during pregnancy classes or during antenatal care.
