Abstract

Introduction: Preeclampsia is a condition where blood pressure in pregnant women rises above 140/90 mmHg accompanied by positive proteinuria at 20 weeks' gestation or more. One of the risk factors for preeclampsia in pregnant women is the mother's lack of knowledge. Increased knowledge can be influenced by two factors, first internal factors such as age and gender and external factors such as work, experience, social culture, environment and information sources.
