The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) at the Mgr. Gabriel Manek Hospital, SVD Atambua has continued to increase in the last three years, from 2017 to 2019. It was recorded that in 2019 there were 126 cases of severe preeclampsia and eclampsia with 5 cases of maternal death and 2 maternal causes of death. is eclampsia. In addition to the factors that cause maternal death, one of the contributing causes of maternal and infant mortality is caused by the speed at which decisions are made in the family. Pregnant women are at risk of experiencing maternal death if during the referral process they experience at least one of the three delays, namely being late in making the decision to be referred.

Bivariate data analysis used fisher's exact test andtest cramer's v. Results: The results showed that the factors that caused delays in decision making were knowledge having a p-value of 0.006 (OR 2.293, 95% Cl: 0.481-10.918), confidence having a p-value of 95%: 0.002-0.513, health insurance having p-value 0.010 (OR 0.000, 95% Cl: 0.000).
