Abstract

Background; The interpretation of the information received by each member of the community regarding all aspects related to pregnant women is one of the factors in the social perspective of maternal health services. The low level of public perception is one of the inhibiting factors for pregnant women to make antenatal care visits. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of each community member about ANC services. Method: This type of qualitative research with the PAR approach. Informants were selected through purposive sampling technique in two selected nagari in West Sumatra. Data collection was carried out by means of observation, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed by means of content analysis. Results: In general, the perception of the Minangkabau matrilineal community about the problem of pregnant women is still low, followed by the perception of husbands, community leaders and cadres that are not in accordance with the interpretation of local health workers so that antenatal visits have not yet reached the target. Conclusion: Minangkabau matrilineal society needs a new perception portrait about maternal health services, inappropriate perceptions must be changed through innovative information services provided by health workers so as to increase the number of antenatal visits required by mothers during pregnancy. Keywords: Matrilineal, pregnant women, public perception.
