ABSTRACT

Eclampsia cases in North Sumatra were 3.2%, and this figure is higher than the national figure of 2.7%. Eclampsia is an obstetric emergency condition in the form of seizures. Eclampsia appears as an indicator of poor labour and complication preparedness in the community. Family involvement of preeclamptic pregnant women without severe features in preventing eclampsia is needed through preparedness. This study aims to design a model of family preparedness of preeclamptic pregnant women without severe features to prevent eclampsia in Deli Serdang Regency. The study was qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews involving 23 families of preeclamptic women without severe features. The data were analysed using interpretative phenomenology analysis. A model of family preparedness of preeclamptic pregnant women without severe features in preventing eclampsia was found, consisting of 10 subcategories of 4 main categories, namely "knowledge and attitudes about preeclampsia," "utilization of health services," "preeclampsia emergency plan" and "resource mobilization". This model is an appropriate step in caring for preeclamptic pregnant women without severe features by families as the frontline in the prevention of eclampsia in the community before getting medical services in the hospital. The findings of this study serve as a guideline for the preparedness of families in the community.
