Abstract

The Antenatal Class aims to increase knowledge, change attitudes and behavior of mothers about the health. Antenatal class in normal situations can be carried out routinely, becoming difficult to carry out during the Covid-19 pandemic. Pregnancy consultations and education classes for pregnant women can use the telemedicine application and continuing education through chat [1]. The platform commonly used by the public today is the WhatsApp application. The holding of antenatal class activities using the whatsApp application is a breakthrough so that the purpose of holding antenatal class can be achieved. This study wanted to find out how the implementation model of antenatal class was online using the WhatsApp application. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a quantitative approach. The design of this study used a pretest posttest one group design. The research was carried out in the working area of the Kahuripan Public Health Center, Tasikmalaya City. The data collection techniques used were: interviews, filling out questionnaires using google form. Data analysis was carried out through the following stages: editing, coding, tabulation, analyzed using a univariable computer program and bivariable using a different test.

The education of pregnant women is mostly found in the high school and college education groups (43%). The average value of the initial knowledge of pregnant women is 78.06 with a standard deviation of 9.30. And at the final score, the average knowledge of pregnant women is 88.00 with a standard deviation of 4.66.
