Results: Pregnant women’s knowledge, attitude and acceptance of midwifery care increased after they received intervention from midwives. The mean difference (MD) for knowledge was -2.07 (r=0.864), p value=0.000 in DKI Jakarta, and MD=-2.70 (r=0.467), p value= 0.000 in South Kalimantan. For attitude in DKI Jakarta, MD=-1.03 (r= 0.99, p value=0.000) and in South Kalimantan the mean difference (MD) was -2.8 (r= 0.445, p value=0.000). For acceptance of gender sensitive midwifery care in DKI Jakarta MD=-2.71 (r= 0.67, p value= 0.000) and South Kalimantan MD=-4.5 (r= p value=0.000). Conclusion: There was a difference and increase in score for knowledge, attitude and acceptance of midwifery care with gender sensitivity in pregnant women before and after the intervention was given to the midwives in the two provinces. It takes great attention from midwives to ensure that all pregnant women receive a gender sensitive midwifery care.

This study aims to determine the smoking behavior and attitude towards cigarette warning labels among informal workers (pedicab driver and motorcycle taxi driver) in Surabaya city. Data were obtained through the administration of questionnaire to eighty respondents in random parks of Surabaya City. The result revealed that textual cigarette was the most accessible cigarette warning label to informal workers (pedicab driver and motorcycle taxi driver). It further implied that cigarette packs, print media/newspapers and billboards were the main sources of awareness of cigarette warning labels. Pearson's correlation result indicated a positive and significant association between informal workers (pedicab driver and motorcycle taxi driver)' smoking behavior and their attitude toward cigarette warning labels (r = 0.21, p<0.01). The study therefore suggests that informal workers should be educated on the relevance of cigarette warning labels and how it can help them to live a healthy driving life. Te study also suggests that needed a comprehensive effort to reduce the number of smokers.
