Abstract

Background: Anemia, chronic energy deficiency (CED), intrapartum bleeding, and
low birth weight (LBW) are complications that can be experienced by mothers and
babies due to inadequate preparation for pregnancy during the preconception period.
Good knowledge about pregnancy preparation will encourage expectant mothers to
make efforts to optimize health during the preconception period, namely the period
before pregnancy. The bride and groom candidates are expectant mothers who should
have good knowledge about preparing for a healthy pregnancy. Education that utilizes animated media is an effective way to increase the knowledge of the bride and groom
candidates about preparing for a healthy pregnancy. This study aims to determine the
effect of preconceptional health education with animation on the knowledge of bride
and groom candidate about healthy preparation for pregnancy. The research was
conducted on 72 bride and groom candidates at the Cihara Health Center, Lebak
Regency, Banten in May-July 2022.
Methode: This type of research was a quantitative design with a pretest posttest
design with a control group. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests.

two groups with a value of p = 0.000. All respondents (100%) in the experimental group
had good knowledge after being given education with animation, while in the control
group, respondents who had good knowledge after education were 33.3%.
