Abstract:
Background: The issue of maternal mortality in Indonesia remains a current problem, with several studies demonstrating that economic and educational levels can contribute to this factor. This study aims to analyze maternal mortality in a specific region in Indonesia, in order to determine the extent to which low education and low economic status contribute to maternal deaths.
Methods: This study used a longitudinal retrospective approach using secondary data. The data source for the Maternal Perinatal Death Notification was precisely the Maternal Perinatal Surveillance and Response Audit.
Results: The death of the mother occurred more frequently among individuals with low levels of education, but not generally among those with low levels of economic status.
Conclusion: Policies made to reduce maternal mortality must consider education and economic levels, because these two things will influence mothers in decision making.
