The data in Table 1 show the age distribution of the thirty (30) pregnant
women who participated in the study. The majority of the respondents
belonged to the age group 30–34 years old, comprising 11 respondents or
36.67% of the total population. This indicates that most of the participants
were in their early thirties, an age often associated with a more stable
reproductive period.
Meanwhile, 9 respondents (30%) were aged 25–29 years old, showing that a
considerable portion of the participants were in their mid to late twenties.
The 20–24 age group accounted for 13.33% or 4 respondents, while both the
15–19 and 35 and above age groups had 3 respondents each (10%).
This implies that while there were participants from various age brackets, the
majority were adults in their late twenties to early thirties, suggesting that
pregnancy is more common among women who are in their more mature and
stable age range.
Educational Attainment of Respondents (n=30)
As shown in Table 2, the majority of the respondents, 16 out of 30 or 53.33%,
were high school graduates. This indicates that most of the pregnant women
had attained a secondary level of education, which suggests a basic level of
literacy and understanding that may influence their awareness and health
practices.
Meanwhile, 7 respondents (23.33%) had reached elementary level, and 5
respondents (16.67%) had college level education but were unable to finish
their degree. Only 2 respondents (6.67%) were college graduates, and none
had no formal education.
This implies that most respondents had at least completed basic education,
which could positively affect their ability to understand health information
and make informed decisions regarding pregnancy care.
Gravida of Respondents (n=30)
Table 3 presents the distribution of respondents according to the number of
times they have been pregnant. The data reveal that the majority, 14 out of
30 respondents or 46.67%, had been pregnant four times or more. This
indicates that most of the participants were multigravida, meaning they had
experienced multiple pregnancies.
Meanwhile, 7 respondents (23.33%) had been pregnant three times, 5
respondents (16.67%) were on their first pregnancy, and 4 respondents
(13.33%) had been pregnant twice.
This implies that most of the respondents were already experienced mothers,
which may influence their level of awareness and practices during
pregnancy. Their previous pregnancy experiences could contribute to a
higher understanding of maternal health and prenatal care.
Employment Status of Respondents (n=30)
Table 4 shows the employment status of the respondents. The majority of the
participants, 26 out of 30 or 86.67%, were housewives. This indicates that
most of the pregnant women were not engaged in formal employment and
were primarily focused on household responsibilities and family care.
Only 2 respondents (6.67%) were employed, and another 2 respondents
(6.67%) were self-employed, while none of the respondents were categorized
as unemployed.
This suggests that the majority of the respondents relied mainly on their
spouses or partners for financial support. Their status as housewives may
also provide them with more time to focus on prenatal care and household
management during pregnancy.
Number of Prenatal Visits of Respondents (n=30)
Table 5 presents the frequency of prenatal visits among the respondents. The
majority, 23 out of 30 respondents or 76.67%, had four or more prenatal
visits during their pregnancy. This indicates that most of the pregnant
women consistently attended their prenatal checkups, showing good health-
seeking behavior and awareness of the importance of maternal care.
Meanwhile, 4 respondents (13.33%) had 2–3 prenatal visits, and only 3
respondents (10%) had attended one prenatal visit.
This implies that most of the respondents were compliant with recommended
prenatal care visits, which may contribute to safer pregnancies and better
maternal and fetal outcomes. The findings suggest that awareness programs
and health services in their area may have been effective in encouraging
regular prenatal consultations.
