However, cadres' knowledge and attitudes regarding their roles and duties as assistants for high-risk pregnant women and early detection of high risk are still very low. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the knowledge and attitude of health cadres by using appropriate and effective learning media sources in accordance with their knowledge and needs. The general purpose of this study is to explore and identify the perspectives and experiences of health cadres in providing assistance to high-risk pregnant women.
