Keywords: health promotion, attitude, PMTCT examination Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was first recognized in 1981 and is caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). AIDS is a set of symptoms/clinical signs in people living with HIV due to infection (opportunistic) because of the decline in the immune system. HIV sufferers are easily infected with various diseases because of the immunity of the body is very weak, so the body failed to fight germs that usually do not cause disease. These opportunistic infections can be caused by various viruses, fungi, bacteria and parasites and can attack various organs, including skin, gastrointestinal tract, lungs and brain (Ministri of Health Science RI, 2014). HIV cases by 2012, cases of HIV/AIDS have spread across 345 out of 497 (69.4%) districts across the province of Indonesia. The number of new HIV cases each year has reached about 20,000 cases. In 2012 there were 21,511 new cases, of which 57.1% were 20–39. years old. The highest source of transmission (58.7%) occurs through unsafe sex on heterosexual couples. In 2012 recorded the largest cases of AIDS in the group of housewives (18.1%) who, when pregnant, have the potential to transmit HIV infection to their babies. In 2012 also, of 43,624 pregnant women who counseled and tested HIV there were 1,329 (3.05%) mothers with HIV infection (Ministri of Health Science RI, 2014). East Java Health Service said, until 2015 East Java ranks second most HIV sufferers in Indonesia with the number of patients 26,235 where 16,051 HIV and AIDS 10184. While Blitar Regency there are 927 people with Gandusari district has the highest HIV patient in Blitar. More than 90% of infected infants are infected from HIV positive mothers. Transmission can occur dur ing pr egna ncy, dur ing la bor a nd dur ing breastfeeding. hp Typewritten text Jurnal Ners dan Kebidanan, Volume 4, No. 3, Desember 2017 DOI: 10.26699/jnk.v4i3.ART.p239-243 IT Typewritten text © 2017 Jurnal Ners dan Kebidanan IT Typewritten text This is an Open Access article under the CC BY-SA license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 240 Jurnal Ners dan Kebidanan, Volume 4, Nomor 3, Desember 2017, hlm. 239–243 Prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PPIA) is a very effective intervention to prevent transmission (Ministri of Health Science RI , 2014). PPIA is part of a series of HIV and AIDS control efforts. The ultimate goal is that infants born to mothers with HIV are released from HIV, and mothers and infants remain alive and well. The PPIA’s general policy is in line with the national program policies on HIV / AIDS and other STI control, as well as the KIA program policy (Ministri of Health Science RI, 2014). Most of pregnant women do not understand about PMTCT examination and the function of the examination, they do the examination by order of midwife and not pregnant woman’s own wishes.

Based on statistical test Wlicoxon Signed Rank Test got p value = 0,025, so p value = 0,025 < = 0,05 which means showing the influence of health education about examination of PMTCT to attitude of pregnant mother. DISCUSSION Attitude Of Respondents Before Health Coun- seling About PMTCT Examination The results showed that from 15 respondents, 73.3% of respondents before doing health education have a negative attitude about PMTCT examination. A person’s attitude toward an object is a favorable or favorable feeling or an unfavorable feeling to the object. Factors that influence attitudes include internal factors that are factors that are in the person concer ned such a s selectivity and per sona l experience and external factors that are outside the human or environmental factors (Azwar, 2011). Negative attitude here means there is no awareness or desire of respondents to conduct PMTCT examination. Respondents tend to agree not to carry out the examination for fear that it may harm him and consider the examination only necessary for risky pregnant women only. This negative attitude of the respondent is allegedly influenced by the environment and the work of the respondents, which makes the expectant mother susceptible to the views of others who do not like the examination. Based on the results of the study found that 80% of respondents are housewives. The formation of an attitude depends on the culture in which the individual is brought up. The environment provides the first social influence for a person, where one can learn good things, also bad things depending on the nature of the group (Azwar, 2011). Should be a housewife has a loose time so it can take time to learn things that are good for him. However, respondents also have a social environment that is family and also neighbors around the dwelling. Respondents see that their former neighbors during pregnancy did not conduct PMTCT examinations so they were also affected not to conduct PMTCT examinations for fear that such checks could harm themselves. The environment is a social influence for a person, where one can learn good things as well as bad things depending on the nature of the group. In the environment, one will gain experience that will affect the way of thinking. In addition, the negative attitudes of these respondents were also supported by a strong respondent’s tendency in the cognitive component, thus a ffecting the a ffective a nd cona tive components owned by the respondents. Attitude is as a certain order in terms of feeling (affective), thinking (cognitive), and predisposing a person’s (konatif) action to an aspect in the surrounding envir onment (Azwa r, 2011). T he cognitive component contains a person’s beliefs about what applies or what is right about the object of attitude. The affective component involves one’s subjective emotional problem of an attitude object. Behavioral component or conative component in attitude structure shows how behavior or tendency to behave that exists in a person related to the object of his attitude. Respondents have a poor belief in PMTCT examination because they consider the examination unimportant and self-defeating so that it affects the feelings and also the respondent’s behavior for not conducting the PMTCT examination. Attitude Of Respondents After Health Coun- seling About PMTCT Examination The results showed that from 15 respondents, 60% of respondents have a positive attitude in PMTCT examination. Changes in attitude can occur slowly with increasing information and experience gained. T he infor ma tion comes fr om hea lth counseling, health education is a process of improving public knowledge about health, accompanied by efforts to facilitate behavior change and is a health program designed to bring improvement or change The influence of health education about PMTCT examination on pregnant woman at- titude Based on Table 3 shows that the increase of percentage of attitude of pregnant women before and after treatment with health counseling about PMTCT examination is attitude with positive category from 26,7% to 60% No Category Pre Test Post Test 1 Positive 4 26,7% 9 60% 2 Negative 11 73,3% 6 40% Total 15 100% 15 100% Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test p value: 0,025 Table 3 Distribution of pregnant women’s attitude fre- quency before and after health counseling about PMTCT examination 242 Jurnal Ners dan Kebidanan, Volume 4, Nomor 3, Desember 2017, hlm. 239–243 in individuals, communities and the environment. This is in accordance with Azwar (2011) that the formation of attitudes can be influenced by several factors namely education, experience, influence of others who are considered important, emotional factors and mass media. Based on the results of the study found that 53.3% of respondents have junior high school education. Education is an activity or learning process to develop or improve certain skills so that the target of education can stand alone. The level of education also determines whether or not someone absorbs and understands the information they get. Education means the guidance given by a person towards the development of others toward a particular goal. The understanding of good and bad, wrong or right, that determines one’s belief system to play a role in determining one’s attitude (Azwar, 2011). By having adequate education, respondents will more easily receive information so that they can understand and have the confidence to conduct PMTCT examination. Based on the results of the study found 46.7% of respondents aged 26-30 years. In order to form the basis for attitude formation, personal experience must leave a strong impression. Therefore attitude will be easily formed. Personal experience will shape and influence one’s appreciation of social stimuli (Azwar, 2011). With the maturity of the age of respondents will further improve the experience of someone in doing something that is best for him. Provision of health education is one thing that can leave a strong impression to the respondent, so that respondents will be able to conduct PMTCT examination of self-awareness. Attitudes of respondents in this study after being given a health education is still negative. One characteristic of attitude is spontaneity, which concerns the extent to which individual readiness to express his attitude spontaneously (Azwar, 2011). Providing health education that only a few minutes certainly can not grow a positive attitude to the respondents who previously had a negative attitude spontaneously when the measurement of attitude done in this study. To change a person’s attitude takes a short time. Provision of health education will improve a person’s understanding of PMTCT examination appropriately. This negative attitude is supported by the cognitive, affective and conative components that exist in the respondent’s self regarding the PMTCT examination. Influence Between Health Counseling On At- titude Based on the results of the study found that 73.3% of respondents were negative before the health counseling and 60% of respondents positive attitude after health education about PMTCT examination. There is a change of attitude of respondents from negative attitude to positive attitude 33,3%. Based on Wilcoxon statistical test obtained sig value = 0,025. This shows that there is influence of health education about PMTCT examination to respondent attitude. But there are still 40% of respondents who still have negative attitude after health counseling, this is caused by work, ligkungan and acceptance in health education about PMTCT examination conducted by researcher. Health education is an attempt to motivate or coordinate goals so that they behave in accordance with the guidance of health values (Notoatmodjo, 2011). The success of a health counseling may be influenced by extension, targeting and counseling processes. A good health counseling will certainly be able to change a person’s behavior to do the best for hea lth. However, in the PMT CT examination it is necessary to have the nearest service facility providing the service so as not to burden the pregnant mother in conducting PMTCT examination.
