Abstract

Infant mortality remains a public health problem in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Health services during pregnancy are an essential factor in reducing infant mortality. Studies examining factors such as maternal and child health services that have implications for infant mortality in Aceh province are still scarce. Therefore, this study aims to examine the correlation between maternal and child health services variables such as Blood-Supplementing Tablets (TTD), Coverage of the First Visit of Pregnant Women (K1), Coverage of the First Visit of Pregnant Women (K4), and management of Obstetric Complications to live births and to map the maternal and child health services obtained during pregnancy. A cross-sectional study was used as the research study. This study used descriptive statistics, such as measures of data centering and data dispersion. In this work, inferential statistical analysis was conducted using the Shapiro-Wilk test, Spearman test, and fuzzy c-means. The result of the Shapiro Wilk test stated that the live birth rate variable and all Maternal and Child Healthcare Services variables were not normally distributed (p-value < 0.05), all Maternal and Child Healthcare Services variables were positively correlated to live birth rate based on the Spearman test (p-value < 0.05). Based on the Silhouette Index with 0.555, the formation of 3 clusters is the optimal cluster. The clustering is based on the Maternal and Child Healthcare Services that have been provided, where the first, second, and third clusters consist of five districts/city, eight districts/city, and ten districts/city, respectively, as a result of Fuzzy C-Means Clustering.
