Hubungan Status Gizi Ibu Hamil Dengan Pre-Eklampsia: Literature Review

Abstract

Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, influenced by various factors including maternal nutritional status. The prevalence of preeclampsia remains high, necessitating community-based educational efforts. This community service aimed to increase public knowledge about the relationship between nutritional status and the risk of preeclampsia in pregnant women. Activities were conducted through direct counseling using a participatory approach and evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments. There was an improvement in participants’ knowledge about nutritional status and preeclampsia after the counseling session. Community-based education is effective in enhancing public understanding of the importance of nutritional status in preventing preeclampsia.
