MEGA (Maintaining of Healthy Pregnancy) 2ND INTERVENTION SCORA CIMSA FK UIN SH

The high maternal mortality rate during pregnancy is one of the most common problems in developing countries, such as Indonesia. This can be caused by several factors, including the fulfilling the nutrition of pregnant women and lack of knowledge about ideal maternity conditions, such as distance between pregnancies. Therefore, SCORA CIMSA UIN SH created a community development called MEGA (Maintaining a Healthy Pregnancy). This community development is implemented to increase the knowledge of pregnant women related to pregnancy, the nutrients needed when pregnant and the ideal distance between pregnancies.

The 2nd intervention was held on Sunday, 21st February 2021 which contained a talk show about nutrition needed during pregnancy and the ideal distance between pregnancies conducted through the Zoom Call Meeting and broadcasted live through CIMSA UIN SH’s youtube channel.

For this 2nd intervention we collaborated with two speakers, namely Dr.dr.Fransisca A. Tjakradidjaja, MS, SpGK as the speaker for nutrition needed during pregnancy and dr. Nia Reviani, MAPS as the speaker for the ideal distance between pregnancies and tips on parenting during the COVID-19 pandemic who previously replaced Dr.(H.C.) dr. Hasto Wardoyo, SpOG(K) because he was unable to attend. Before the 2nd intervention, members of SCORA reminded the pregnant women who participated in the 1st intervention about this activity.

The 2nd intervention started at 09.30 WIB which begins with a pre-test to measure the initial knowledge of pregnant women. The first one is from into dr. Nia Reviani, MAPS with the topic “The Ideal Distance Between Pregnancies and Tips on Parenting during The COVID-19 Pandemic” and continued by Dr.dr.Fransisca A. Tjakradidjaja, MS, SpGK with the topic “Nutrition Needed During Pregnancy”. The participants were very enthusiastic about the second material and get a lot of questions both through Zoom Call Meeting and CIMSA UIN SH’s youtube channel when opened QnA session. After the QnA session ended, participants were given a post-test. At the end of the event, all participants were given a doorprize that can be taken through KMJ according to the consultation place of their respective pregnant women and ended with a photo session together.

The 2st intervention has gotten positive feedbacks from the participants and we are also pleased that there was an increase from pre-test scores to post test scores. Hopefully, this activity can be useful for all participants who participated in the exhibition and can continue smoothly until the last intervention. We also really hope that MEGA can increase public’s knowledge and awareness, especially pregnant women about the health of pregnancy.
