OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of animation video on pre-eclampsia prevention knowledge and motivation in pregnant women. METHODOLOGY: This study used a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design within two groups, a pretest and a post-test. The sampling technique was non-probability with purpose sampling method. Sixty-two randomly selected samples were divided into control and intervention groups. The intervention group received an animation video, while the control group received regular information during antenatal care visits. Data collection tools used pre-eclampsia prevention knowledge and motivation questionnaires, which were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS: The study showed a difference in the mean value of pretest and post-test knowledge and motivation (p value= 0,000, p value= 0,001), respectively. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that applying animation video can increase the knowledge and motivation of pregnant women regarding pre-eclampsia prevention and can be used by healthcare providers to prevent pre-eclampsia for pregnant women.
