The Effectivennes of The Leaflet Media

HIV-AIDS cases in Indonesia have increased every year in women aged 15-49 years.
This is because many men have had unsafe sex, which spreads it to their sexual partners.
Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV is an effective intervention. One form of
its activities is increasing correct and comprehensive knowledge about the prevention of
HIV/AIDS transmission, eliminating stigma and discrimination through health promotion
(Permenkes RI, 2013). Forms of health promotion that have been carried out through
counseling and distributing leaflets. To determine the effectiveness of leaflet media as an
effort to promote health in increasing the knowledge of pregnant women about preventing
mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT). This is a quasi experimental quantitative
research with a pretest-postest design. The research sample was 25 respondents of
pregnant women who live in DIY. The sampling technique used was purposive random
sampling. The instrument was a questionnaire on the prevention of mother-to-child HIV
transmission. Analysis of data using non-parametric Wiloxon test. Characteristics of
pregnant women respondents in terms of age, less than 20 years (1); 21-35 years (22);
and over 35 years of age (2). Education of pregnant women respondents: basic education
(1); secondary education (9); and higher education (9). The mean value of pre-test
knowledge of pregnant women was 86.88. While the average post test score is 94.24. The
results showed that there was a difference of 14.64 in the pre-test and post-test scores,
meaning that there was an increase in the knowledge of pregnant women before being
given leaflet media and after being given leaflet media about preventing mother-to-child
transmission of HIV. The results of the effectiveness test used the non-parametric Wiloxon
test, the significant value of the normality test was <0.05, meaning that the data were not
normally distributed. There are differences in knowledge before being given and after
