Abstract

Pregnant women are vulnerable to dental and oral diseases, which increase the risk of giving birth to babies with lower-than-normal birth weight. Therefore, maintaining dental and oral health in pregnant women is essential. The Pregnancy Dental Health Card (KASIH) was developed as a tool to assist in monitoring dental health and providing follow-up guidance based on the completed questionnaire. A usability evaluation is necessary to assess user acceptance before the tool is further developed. The purpose of this study was to determine the usability of KASIH based on the perceptions of pregnant women as users. The study employed a quantitative descriptive design with 15 pregnant women as respondents in Jabungan, Semarang City. The questionnaire consisted of ten questions using a 1–5 Likert scale. All statements were formulated in positive terms, taking into account the respondents’ characteristics and the context of use. The result shows a score of 82,5, falling within the “acceptable” range, grade B, and an adjective rating of “excellent.” These results indicate a positive user perception regarding the use of the KASIH Card as a tool for monitoring. The KASIH Card demonstrates a level of usability that is acceptable to the target users. The KASIH Card has the potential to be used as a supportive tool for monitoring the oral health of pregnant women. Further research is needed with a larger sample size for more representative results.
