Abstract

Introduction: Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness (BPCR) is the Indonesia government program aimed at reducing the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). The program requires the active participation of pregnant women and their families, as well as the community. Health cadres are recruited from the community to help pregnant women and their families in monitoring their health status and recognising the early signs of pregnancy complications. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of the factors related to the health cadre’s perception and BPCR implementation in high risk pregnancies. Method: The study employed an observational analysis with a cross sectional approach. 126 health cadres in Surabaya, Indonesia, were recruited as the study subjects. The data collection was carried out through interviews and observations using a structured questionnaire. The data analysis was conducted using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis. results: Based on the health cadre’s perception, the implementation of BPCR was moderately satisfactory (52.4%). Most of respondents had a moderate understanding of the standard procedure and policy targets (48.4%). Most of the respondents selected moderate when rating the resource’s availability (72.2%), interpersonal communication (85.7%), technical support (58.7%) and the attitude of the BPCR implementer (92.1%). From the path analysis, the BPCR implementation was significantly affected by the understanding of the standard procedures and policy targets, the technical support from the public health centres, the interpersonal/ organisational communication, the attitude of the implementers, and the availability of resources. Conclusions: The public health centre should provide a clear standard procedure and effectively communicate the BPCR program to the health cadres, pregnant women and their families, as well as to the community
