Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized as a multisystem syndrome marked by elevated blood pressure after 20 weeks of gestation, accompanied by proteinuria or other signs of organ dysfunction. If not properly managed, this condition may progress to eclampsia, which is characterized by seizures and poses a high risk of morbidity and even mortality for both the mother and the fetus. Insufficient knowledge among pregnant women is one of the contributing factors to delayed detection and management of preeclampsia. This study aimed to describe pregnant women’s knowledge of preeclampsia at primary health centers in Palembang City. This study used a quantitative descriptive design using a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling approach based on predetermined inclusion criteria. The research instrument was a knowledge ques�tionnaire covering the definition, risk factors, warning signs and symptoms, impacts, and prevention of preeclampsia. The results showed that pregnant women’s knowledge regard�ing the definition of preeclampsia ranged from scores of 2–3, with mean values of 2.00– 2.20. Knowledge of risk factors demonstrated the highest mean scores, ranging from 3.89– 4.14. Knowledge of danger signs showed mean scores of 3.14–3.37, knowledge of impacts ranged from 3.31–3.49, while knowledge regarding the prevention of preeclampsia re�mained relatively low, with mean scores of 2.28–2.91. Differences in knowledge levels were also observed based on maternal characteristics, including age, educational level, occu�pation, pregnancy history, and sources of information. Overall, most pregnant women demonstrated adequate knowledge of the definition, risk factors, signs and symptoms, and impacts of preeclampsia; however, insufficient knowledge regarding preventive measures may hinder early detection and increase the risk of severe complications, including mater�nal and fetal mortality. Therefore, structured and continuous health education is essential to support early detection and the prevention of preeclampsia-related complica�tions.
