Status gizi yang baik sangat penting bagi ibu hamil karena berperan dalam menjaga kesehatan ibu serta menunjang pertumbuhan dan perkembangan janin. Namun, masih banyak ibu hamil yang belum mampu memenuhi kebutuhan gizi secara optimal. Berdasarkan data Survei Kesehatan Indonesia (SKI) tahun 2023, sekitar 52,2% ibu hamil mengalami anemia dan 19,1% mengalami kekurangan energi kronik (KEK). Di Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu, penelitian tahun 2024 menunjukkan 35% ibu hamil mengalami KEK. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan antara pengetahuan gizi seimbang dan tingkat pendidikan dengan status gizi ibu hamil di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Batumarta II Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Populasi penelitian adalah 103 ibu hamil, dengan sampel sebanyak 56 responden yang diambil menggunakan metode proporsional sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner yang meliputi identitas responden, tingkat pendidikan, pengetahuan gizi seimbang, dan status gizi ibu hamil. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi-Square dengan tingkat signifikansi p < 0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar ibu hamil memiliki tingkat pendidikan SMP/SMA (85,7%), pengetahuan gizi seimbang kurang (51,8%), dan status gizi KEK (26,8%). Hasil uji bivariat menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat pendidikan dengan status gizi (p = 0,324), namun terdapat hubungan signifikan antara pengetahuan gizi seimbang dengan status gizi ibu hamil (p = 0,000). Disimpulkan bahwa pengetahuan gizi seimbang berperan penting dalam menentukan status gizi ibu hamil.

Good nutritional status is crucial for pregnant women as it plays a role in maintaining maternal health and supporting fetal growth and development. However, many pregnant women are still unable to meet their nutritional needs optimally. Based on 2023 indonesian health survey (ski) data, approximately 52.2% of pregnant women suffer from anemia, and 19.1% experience chronic energy deficiency (ced). In ogan komering ulu regency, a 2024 study showed that 35% of pregnant women experienced ced. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge of balanced nutrition and educational level with the nutritional status of pregnant women in the working area of batumarta II community health center, ogan komering ulu regency.

The study population consisted of 103 pregnant women, with a sample size of 56 respondents selected using the proportional sampling method. Data were collected through questionnaires covering respondent identity, educational level, knowledge of balanced nutrition, and the nutritional status of pregnant women. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results indicated that the majority of pregnant women had a junior/senior high school educational level (85.7%), poor knowledge of balanced nutrition (51.8%), and a nutritional status of chronic energy deficiency (ced) (26.8%). The bivariate test results showed no relationship between educational level and nutritional status (p = 0.324), but a significant relationship was found between knowledge of balanced nutrition and the nutritional status of pregnant women (p = 0.000). It is concluded that knowledge of balanced nutrition plays a vital role in determining the nutritional status of pregnant women.
