Abstract
Maternal health literacy is one of the main factors affecting the health and well-being of mothers during pregnancy. Maternal health literacy status will affect the ability of pregnant women to obtain, understand and use basic information about health and make the right health decisions for themselves and their babies. Researchers have not found published studies regarding the health literacy status of pregnant women in Manado City. Therefore, this study aims to provide an overview of maternal health literacy in pregnant women in basic health facilities. This research is a quantitative study with a survey design conducted at one of the community health centers in Manado City. The number of respondents who participated in this study were 90 pregnant women who were recruited using simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using the Maternal health literacy inventory in pregnancy (MHELIP) and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that 31 respondents (35%) were in extraordinary literacy status, 30 respondents (33%) were in sufficient literacy status, 15 respondents (17%) were in problematic literacy status, and 13 respondents (15%) were in inadequate literacy status. The results of the study found that most of the mothers were in extraordinary literacy levels and moderate literacy status. However, there was no significant difference at each level of literacy status of pregnant women. Health service providers have an important role in improving the literacy status of pregnant women, because mothers with limited literacy status rely on health workers as a source of health information.
