Abstract

The Desa SIAGA Program is an approach that involves community participation with the aim of improving public health, including maternal health, and has been implemented since 2006. Although socialization has been carried out, many community members are still unaware of the existence of this program, so this is a serious concern. This study aims to evaluate the extent of community knowledge about Desa SIAGA in an effort to improve maternal health in Kertonatan Village, Sukoharjo. Using a quantitative descriptive method, the study was conducted in Kertonatan Village, which is the service area of the Kartasura Health Center, Sukoharjo, in May 2024. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling with a total of 107 respondents aged between 17 and 60 years. The questionnaire used consisted of 16 questions to assess the level of community knowledge about SIAGA Village. The data obtained were analyzed using univariate analysis with descriptive statistical tests of frequency and crosstabs. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents were women (74 people, 69.2%), aged between 26-35 years (43 people, 40.2%), had a high school/vocational high school education (65 people, 60.7%), and most worked as housewives (IRT) as many as 48 people (44.9%). From the results of the univariate analysis, it was revealed that 36 people (33.6%) had good knowledge, 56 people (52.3%) had sufficient knowledge, and 15 people (14.0%) had insufficient knowledge. This shows that the Desa SIAGA program has been running for quite a long time, but information and socialization of this program have not been fully distributed and still need improvement in the dissemination of information
