Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal
mortality and morbidity worldwide. The high incidence of
preeclampsia is due to the low prevention behavior of
preeclampsia. The preeclampsia tree education model is
expected to improve preeclampsia prevention behavior.
Produce a proper preeclampsia tree education model and
its effective application for the prevention of
preeclampsia. This type of research is Research and
Development. Test model validation by obstetricians and
gynecologists, material experts, media experts and
linguists. The model application test used a quasy
experiment design (pre-test and post-test with control
group design). The research subjects were 64 pregnant
women who were divided into intervention and control
groups. The independent variable is the educational
model of the preeclampsia tree and the dependent
variable is the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of
village health worker and pregnant women. Data analysis
used paired t-test, Wilcoxon test, independent t-test and
Mann Whitney test. The results of material validation
obtained a mean of 90 (very feasible) p-value 0.001, the
model test obtained a mean of 87.6 (very feasible) p-value
0.012 (p <0.05). The unpaired data test (post-test) on the
knowledge of pregnant women obtained p-value 0.000 (p
<0.005), attitude p-value 0.000 (p <0.05), and behavior pvalue 0.000 (p <0.05). The preeclampsia tree education
model is feasible as a model and guideline and its
application is 10 times for pregnant women have a better
effectiveness on the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of
preeclampsia prevention than the control group.
