The sixth antenatal visit (K6) refers to a scheduled maternal healthcare appointment in which pregnant women receive comprehensive and integrated antenatal services from qualified healthcare providers, with a minimum of six visits recommended throughout the course of pregnancy. The Bengkulu City Health Office continues to enhance K6 visit achievements by strengthening collaborative efforts in antenatal care services among midwives, obstetricians, and the PONED and PONEK referral networks. These initiatives aim to explore the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women in their third trimester regarding the K6 visits. This study employed a cross-sectional research design. The sampling technique utilized was total sampling. The study population consisted of 104 primigravida pregnant women beyond 36 weeks of gestation within the Bengkulu City primary healthcare centers’ working area in 2024. Data collection instruments included questionnaires and maternal health visit books (KIA). Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate approaches, with the Chi-square test applied for inferential analysis. The results indicated that among the 104 respondents, the majority 65 participants (62.5%)—demonstrated good knowledge, while 62 respondents (59.6%) exhibited positive attitudes. Additionally, 55 respondents (52.9%) adhered regularly to the sixth antenatal visit (K6). Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between knowledge (p= 0.004) and attitude (p= 0.022) with K6 attendance, indicating that both factors are significantly related to the practice of attending the sixth antenatal visit among pregnant women in their third trimester. It is recommended that healthcare providers enhance participation and motivation among pregnant women to undergo antenatal care during the K6 visit for early detection of pregnancy danger signs.
