Abstract: The rate of premature births in Indonesia ranged from 10-20% in 2009. According to data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (SDKI), the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) has decreased since 1991, from 68 per 1,000 live births to 34 per 1,000 live births according to the 2007 SDKI. However, this figure is still far from the target of the Fourth Millennium Development Goal (MDGs), which aimed to reduce the infant mortality rate (IMR) to 23 per 1,000 live births by 2015. In addition, the Expanding Maternal and Neonatal Survival (EMAS) program, aimed at reducing maternal and infant mortality by 25% from 2011 to 2016, highlights the need to study factors that affect maternal and perinatal outcomes, particularly in preterm deliveries, to reduce maternal and infant mortality and morbidity rates. In Bojonegoro, the number of premature births in 2018 was 404 cases out of 17,172 births. The health centers with the highest rates of premature births were Balen Health Center with 34 cases out of 855 births, and Sumberjo Health Center with 35 cases out of 542 births. In 2018, Kabunan Village recorded 6 cases of premature birth out of 49 births, or 19.5%. The methods used were lectures, demonstrations, pre-tests, and post-tests.
