Angka kematian ibu (AKI) di Indonesia masih relatif tinggi bila dibandingkan dengan negara- negara ASEAN yaitu 373/100.000 kelahiran hidup (SKRT 1995). Hasil penilaian "Safe Motherhood" di Indonesia menyebutkan bahwa yang mempengaruhi AKI antara lain kualitas pelayanan antenatal yang masih rendah. Pemerintah telah mencanangkan program Making Pregnancy Safer (MPS) untuk menurunkan AKI, dengan meningkatkan cakupan dan kualitas pelayanan antenatal seperti telah ditargetkan, untuk cakupan K1 95% dan cakupan K4 90%. Di Propinsi Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, khususnya Kota Banda Aceh AKI mencapai 11/4.598 kelahiran hidup, sementara cakupan K1 mencapai 93,3% dan K4 83,1%. Namun bagaimana kualitas pelayanan antenatal yang diberikan masih belum diketahui. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memperoleh informasi tentang kualitas pelayanan antenatal dan hubungannya dengan kepuasan pasien, karena bila kualitas pelayanan baik dapat mempengaruhi kepuasan pasien. Penelitian ini dilakukan di puskesmas di wilayah Kota Banda Aceh yang hanya mempunyai enam puskesmas. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah non eksperimental dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Unit penelitian adalah ibu hamil, dan populasi yaitu ibu hamil trimester II dan III yang telah berkunjung ke Puskesmas minimal dua kali. Metode pengambilan sampel secara purposive sampling dengan jumlah sampel 100 respoden. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan mewawancarai responden. Kualitas pelayanan yang diukur yaitu hubungan antar manusia, meliputi keramahan, komunikasi petugas dengan pasien serta tindakan pelayanan antenatal yang diberikan. Hasil penelitian melaporkan, proporsi ibu hamil yang menyatakan puas 44%, petugas ramah 44%, petugas berkomunikasi dengan baik 43 % dan pelayanan antenatal baik sebanyak 41%. Hasil uji chi-square menunjukkan ada hubungan yang bermakna (p < 0,05) antara kualitas pelayanan antenatal yaitu keramahan dan komunikasi dengan kepuasan pasien, sedangkan variabel tindakan pelayanan antenatal secara statistik tidak menunjukkan hubungan bermakna. Sementara karakteristik pasien sebagai variabel kontrol meliputi umur, pendidikan, pekerjaan dan gravida, tidak satupun menunjukkan hubungan bermakna (P > 0,05) dengan kepuasan pasien. Hasil analisis regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang paling dominan mempengaruhi kepuasan pasien adalah keramahan (OR: 3,64) pada CI95 %: (1,58- 8,37). Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa kepuasan pasien terhadap kualitas pelayanan antenatal di puskesmas di wilayah Kota Banda Aceh masih sangat rendah. Untuk itu perlu peningkatan kualitas pelayanan antenatal terutama dalam hal keramahan dan komunikasi, dengan cara meningkatkan motivasi dari pimpinan, perbaikan system reward dan pelatihan yang berkelanjutan.

The government has decided a program on Making Pregnancy Safer (MPS) to lowering the MMR, by increasing the coverage and the quality of antenatal care such as targeted, for first visit of antenatal care / K1 the coverage was 95% and for fourth visits of ANC / K4 was 90%0. In Aceh Province, especially Banda Aceh City the MMR reached 11/4.598 live births, while the coverage of K1 reached 93% and K4 was 83,1%. However, how about the antenatal care quality that given is still unknown.
