Abstract

The high case of maternal mortality due to pregnancy and childbirth is still a global concern. Indonesian MMR in
2015 amounted to 305 deaths per 100,000 births which is still below from the SDGs target of 70 deaths per 100,000
births. One effort to reduce the MMR is to ensure that the birth process is assisted by trained health workers.
However, sometimes the decision of birth attendants is not within mother’s authority because of the weak position
of the mother in the patriarchal culture in Indonesia. The research aims to see the propensity of mother’s autonomy,
mother’s education, mother’s working status, and type of residence on the birth attendants. Using 2017 IDHS data,
a logistic regression analysis is used, and the results shows that mother's working status does not affect the birth
attendants. While mother’s autonomy, mother’s education, and type of residence affect the birth attendants with a
positive propensity.

Key words: Mother’s Autonomy, Birth Attendants, Maternal Mortality

Abstract

IDHS 2017 shows that there are the most unwanted pregnancies among young women in the age group of 15-19
years (16.4%). This unwanted pregnancy can be caused by many factors. Malang District in 2018 had a 15-19 year
ASFR of 47.71, which was higher than the national target. This condition makes it necessary to analyze the
relationship of interpersonal factors (level of education, employment status, and dating experience) to adolescent
pregnancy. This research was a case-control design in 50 villages in 15 subdistricts of Malang District. Respondents
were 114 adolescent women (20-25 years old) consist of case groups (who had been pregnant at age 19 years) and
the control group (who did not get pregnant at age 19 years). Respondents were interviewed by questionnaire, and
data were analyzed using statistical tests. The results showed that the level of education with adolescent pregnancy
had a significant relationship (p = 0.000 <α, C = 0.618). While employment status (p = 0.424) and dating experience
(p = 0.438) there were no relationship with adolescent pregnancy. Adolescents need to be encouraged to pursue
higher education to improve adolescent self-quality but also to prevent pregnancy.
