The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with antenatal care visits for mothers in the working area of ​​the Puskesmas Seba in 2022. This research was conducted in the form of an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The research sample consisted of 372 research participants, which included 77 respondents. The questionnaire instrument was used together with the interview method to obtain data. Descriptive analysis and Spearman's test with α=0.05 were used to process the data. The test results showed that antenatal care visits were related to knowledge (p = 0.000), perceived suscepibility (p = 0.004), perceived benefits (0.004), and perceived barrier (0.000). Age (p=0.163) and husband's support (p=0.056) were not related to antenatal care visits. The test results also show a fairly strong relationship between the variables of knowledge, perceived suscepibility and perceived benefits, while there is a very strong correlation between perceived barriers and antenatal care visits. The recommendation that can be given is that health workers can offer more counseling and counseling to mothers so that they will be more motivated to make visits.
