Abstract   (201 Views)
Aims: Pregnancy is a complex period associated with stress, anxiety, and depression in disaster-prone areas with limited healthcare. The role of family support in maternal well-being in disaster-prone contexts is still underexplored. This study aimed to analyze the role of family support in the maternal well-being of pregnant women in disaster-prone areas.
Instrument & Methods: This study used a retrospective cohort design with 124 pregnant women, selected through high-risk cluster random sampling in four villages affected by floods, landslides, and tornadoes. Data were collected through observations and interviews regarding family support (financial, practical, informational, and emotional) and maternal well-being (readiness for motherhood, emotional closeness with the fetus, involvement, self-care, and attitudes toward health). Analysis was performed using logistic regression.
Findings: Most pregnant women received positive family support, with the majority reporting happiness during pregnancy. Most of them were in good maternal health condition. Family support had a significant effect on happiness (p=0.0001; OR=0.044) and maternal health (p=0.015; OR=2.539). Family support explained 48.7% of the variance in happiness and 6.4% of the variance in maternal health. Family support had a more dominant influence on maternal happiness than on maternal health.
Conclusion: Family support improves maternal happiness and promotes the health and safety of mothers and babies in disaster-prone areas.
