February 17, 2026 updated by: Siti Saidah Nasution

The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to evaluate whether an online-based "Caring for Pregnant Women" intervention delivered through community health cadres can improve husband support in the early detection of high-risk pregnancies among pregnant women and their husbands in the Medan Maimun area.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the online-based "Caring for Pregnant Women" intervention increase emotional support from husbands in the early detection of high-risk pregnancies?

Does the intervention increase informational support from husbands in the early detection of high-risk pregnancies?

Does the intervention increase practical support from husbands in the early detection of high-risk pregnancies?

This study does not include a comparison group.

Participants will:

Complete a pre-test questionnaire assessing emotional, informational, and practical support from husbands in the early detection of high-risk pregnancies

Participate in an online-based education program facilitated by trained health cadres for one month

Join a WhatsApp group involving husbands, pregnant women, and health cadres for education, monitoring, and communication related to high-risk pregnancy detection

Complete a post-test questionnaire after the intervention to measure changes in husband support

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in Husbands' Emotional, Informational, and Practical Support Score for Early Detection of High-Risk Pregnancy After 4 Weeks of Online-Based Intervention
Time Frame: From enrollment (baseline/pre-test) to the end of the online-based intervention at 4 weeks (post-test).
This outcome measures changes in husbands' emotional, informational, and practical support for early detection of high-risk pregnancy following a 4-week online-based "Caring for Pregnant Women" intervention delivered by trained health cadres. Husbands' support was assessed using a Family Support Questionnaire developed based on Friedman's Family Support Theory and high-risk pregnancy concepts. The questionnaire consists of 19 valid items covering emotional, informational, and practical support. Emotional, informational, and practical support were assessed separately, each with scores ranging from 10 to 50. Higher scores indicate greater support from husbands/families. The instrument showed good reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.879). The primary outcome was calculated as the difference between baseline (pre-intervention) and post-intervention scores at 4 weeks.
From enrollment (baseline/pre-test) to the end of the online-based intervention at 4 weeks (post-test).
