The strategies for reducing maternal mortality are conducted by increasing mothers health status during pregnancy. This study aims at determining the factors of husbands role in womens prenatal care. Cross-sectional method was used. The populations were all of the pregnant women in Puskesmas I Ajibarang. Proportional random sampling was applied to select 90 pregnant women. Logistic regression was used to determine factors. Theory of planned behavior was used to explore the determinants of husbands role. The results show that the level of education, family income, the knowledge, the attitude, and subjective norm are not related to husbands role in mother prenatal care.
