| Abstrak/Abstract |
Background: Mental health disorders, namely anxiety and depressive symptoms, are common
in pregnant women due to physical and hormonal changes. Social support, family environment
conditions and the neighboring social environment are components of social capital that
contribute to the health of pregnant women. The Indonesia Healthy Family-Program Approach
(HIP-FA) supports efforts to empower families to provide social support to pregnant women,
thereby increasing self-efficacy in pregnancy that will lead to giving birth to healthy babies. This
paper aims to describe the social capital and efficacy of pregnant women. Method: This study
was a qualitative study that described social capital, empowerment, and self-efficacy of pregnant
women during pregnancy. The article search was through PubMed, ProQuest, and Google
Scholar databases. The keywords used to search the articles included: pregnant women, selfefficacy,
social capital, and empowerment. The author examined and synthesized various kinds
of literature that were closely related to social capital in providing self-efficacy for pregnant
women. Results: Social capital affects health and is the main determinant of health. The
important social capital is social support for pregnant women by empowering families to give
better attention during pregnancy. A healthy Indonesian program with a family approach (HIP-FA)
is organized in order to increase the government's attention in overcoming health problems by
involving family directly in planning activities, monitoring and evaluation processes, so that the
families understand well the health problems of pregnant women in their families and can provide
social support in dealing with mental health disorders of pregnant women and increasing selfconfidence
to be mothers and parent. Conclusion: Social support is a social capital that can
improve family empowerment by paying more attention to the health of pregnant women. Social
capital in the form of family cohesion and family environment can improve the self-efficacy of
pregnant women and prevent pregnancy complications to prepare for the birth of a healthy baby. |
