Abstract
Background: Safe physical exercise during pregnancy (pregnancy exercise) can strengthen uterine muscle and shorten the duration of delivery¹. However, only 40% of pregnant mothers in Tanjungpura village at Karawang district participated in pregnancy exercise program². This probably due to limited number of competent pregnancy exercise trainers in the village. Our project aim is to improve health cadres capacity to provide pregnancy exercise to pregnant mothers Tanjungpura.
Method: We invited 15 health cadres and 20 pregnant women to participated in pregnancy exercise training. The training was conducted once a week for 7 weeks at a village hall and Posyandu. Training methods includes: lectures, demonstration of pregnancy exercise, practices, and interactive discussion. A pre and post-test assesment was conducted to evaluate the outcome of training. Pre and post-test assesment were conducted to evaluate participant’s knowledge before and after the training.
Result: Out of 15 cadres and 20 pregnant complated the training. The average post-test score for cadres increased by 69% from 5,2 to 8,8. among pregnant woment, the average of post-test scores increased higher (85%) from 4,7 to 8,3.
Conclusion: Health cadres can be trained and teach pregnancy exercise to pregnant mothers in their neighbourhood. In areas where number of health care wokers is limited, empowering community health cadres to actively participated in improving maternal health is a potential strategy.
