Preeclampsia is ranked second as the leading cause of maternal mortality globally. In 2019, preeclampsia and eclampsia were responsible for 42% of 90 maternal deaths in Indonesia. Meanwhile, 40-60% of maternal deaths in Aceh were also caused by preeclampsia. This research attempted to examine the correlation between knowledge and practice of self-care to prevent preeclampsia among mothers in the work area of Baiturrahman Community Health Center of Banda Aceh. This study was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample that participated in this study was 74 people selected using purposive sampling. A questionnaire designed by the researcher based on the related theories and tested for validity and reliability was the instrument in the data collection. The results showed a correlation between knowledge and practice of self-care in preventing preeclampsia with a p-value of 0.004 < α 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that knowledge about self-care and practice of self-care in preventing preeclampsia are correlated. Health workers are urged to provide more information about self-care for pregnant women and maximize the use of the Maternal and Child Health book (KIA).
