Abstract

The prevalence of malnutrition among pregnant women in Indonesia is quite high (17.3%). Knowledge of good nutrition during pregnancy will shape the eating behavior of pregnant women so that they have adequate food intake according to their needs and can prevent pregnant women from experiencing malnutrition. The purpose of this study is to explore nutrition knowledge during pregnancy in pregnant women who experience malnutrition in the city of Bandar Lampung. This research is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach that was conducted in the city of Bandar Lampung from June 2019 to February 2020. The informants were 27 pregnant women who had an upper arm circumference <23.5 cm. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews. Most of the informants were aged 20-35 years (70.38%) and were multiparous (77.77%). Poor knowledge of nutrition during pregnancy consists of four themes, that were lack of information about the impact of drinking tea during meals, allocation of income for fulfilling nutrition, the impact of malnutrition on pregnancy, and information on nutrition during pregnancy. It is necessary to carry out periodic counseling and assistance for pregnant women, especially regarding nutrition during pregnancy to prevent maternal and child morbidity.
