Anemia during pregnancy is a public health issue that remains a challenge in developing countries, including Indonesia. Iron tablets are recommended as the primary intervention to prevent anemia, but compliance among pregnant women in taking iron tablets varies and is influenced by various factors, including health worker counseling. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the intensity of cadre assistance and the level of compliance with TTD consumption among pregnant women at the Tomalou Community Health Center, Tidore Kepulauan City. The study design used an observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional method. The study sample consisted of 30 pregnant women selected using total sampling technique. The independent variable was the intensity of cadre assistance, while the dependent variable was the level of compliance with TTD consumption. Data were collected using observation sheets, consumption monitoring forms, and respondent identity questionnaires, then analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents were compliant in consuming TTD, but there was no significant relationship between the intensity of cadre assistance and the level of compliance with TTD consumption (r = 0.036; p = 0.848). This study concluded that the frequency of assistance alone was not sufficient to influence TTD consumption compliance, thus requiring a more comprehensive, educational assistance approach that involved family support. These findings could form the basis for evaluating the cadre assistance program in preventing anemia in pregnant women.

Anemia during pregnancy remains a widespread public health issue, especially due to iron deficiency. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between maternal age, number of antenatal care (ANC) visits, and compliance with iron supplement intake with the incidence of anemia among pregnant women at Turi Health Center in Lamongan Regency. This research employed a cross-sectional approach involving 55 pregnant women who were chosen using a multistage random sampling technique. Information was collected through interviews and hemoglobin level measurements conducted using a digital hemoglobin meterThe results indicated that 69.1% of the participants belonged to the non-risk age category, 34.5% exhibited moderate adherence to iron tablet intake, and 60% were found to be anemic. Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation between maternal age (p = 0.004), number of ANC visits (p = 0.014), and compliance with iron supplement tablets (p = 0.000) with the level of anemia. This indicates the presence of a statistically significant association between maternal age, frequency of ANC visits, and level of compliance with iron supplement tablet consumption related to the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. Therefore, pregnant women are advised to have frequent ANC and consume iron supplement regularly to prevent anemia.

Overview: Normal Hemoglobin levels during pregnancy are very important in preventing anemia and complications that can occur during pregnancy. Moringa capsules contain iron, vitamin C, and antioxidants that can support the absorption of iron in the body, Fe tablets that support oxygen transport and the formation of red blood cells. Objective: Analyzing the effect of giving moringa leaf capsules and iron tablets on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. Research Method: This study used a Quasi-experimental design method. This study was conducted in the Ambal II Kebumen Health Center Working Area with a sample of 30 respondents. In this study, 2 groups were used, namely those who received intervention (moringa leaf capsules and Fe tablets) and the control group (Fe only). Data analysis using the Wilcoxon test. Research Results: Showed that there was a difference in Hemoglobin levels in the Moringa leaf and Fe groups with a p value = 0.008 and as many as 14 pregnant women experienced an increase in Hb. While in the control group the analysis results showed a difference with a p value = 0.007. However, as many as 13 mothers experienced a decrease in Hb levels. Conclusion: giving moringa capsules and Fe tablets has better effectiveness in increasing Hb levels compared to just Fe tablets alone.

Anemia during pregnancy remains a major public health concern and is commonly associated with iron deficiency. Iron (Fe) tablet supplementation is a key strategy to prevent anemia; however, adherence among pregnant women remains suboptimal. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family support and adherence to iron tablet consumption among second-trimester pregnant women in the working area of UPT Puskesmas Mandomai. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 30 pregnant women selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing respondents’ characteristics, family support, and adherence to iron tablet consumption. Univariate analysis was performed to describe variable distributions, while bivariate analysis was conducted using Kendall’s tau-b correlation test. The results showed that 50% of respondents were non-adherent to iron tablet consumption, and 50% reported receiving no family support. Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant and very strong association between family support and adherence to iron tablet consumption (τ = −0.928; p < 0.001). The negative correlation reflected the coding direction, indicating that better family support was associated with higher adherence. These findings suggest that family support plays an important role in promoting adherence to iron supplementation during pregnancy. Family-centered approaches in antenatal care may enhance adherence and contribute to the prevention of anemia among pregnant women.

Anemia is one of the public health problems experienced by many pregnant women in Indonesia, including in Aceh Province. One of the efforts to prevent anemia is by consuming iron tablets (TTD) regularly. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of education and knowledge of mothers about anemia with the regularity of blood tablet consumption. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of 100 pregnant women in the Penanggalan Health Center working area, selected through purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between the level of education (p = 0.032) and knowledge about anemia (p = 0.005) with the regularity of blood tablet consumption. Mothers with higher education and good knowledge tend to be more regular in consuming blood tablets. Improvement of health education is needed through routine counseling to increase mothers' awareness of the importance of preventing anemia during pregnancy.

Iron deficiency is a common cause of anemia during pregnancy. The low consumption of Fe tablets is related to compliance with consumption. The purpose of this study was to determine the compliance of pregnant women taking iron tablets in the second trimester in Bukittinggi City. This was a qualitative study using a case study method. A purposive sampling technique was used, with the main informant being pregnant women in the second trimester in Baratan Village. Data were collected using interview techniques, observation, and documentation analysis and then validated using data triangulation, observer triangulation, theory triangulation, and method triangulation. The results of this study were analyzed based on data grouping. Testing data assumptions, alternative data explanations, and the results of the study were written. The compliance of pregnant women in taking Fe tablets shows the compliance of pregnant women in the second trimester in taking Fe tablets and how pregnant women know the benefits and impacts of not taking Fe tablets. Researchers know how long pregnant women take Fe tablets, and family support is a reinforcement for pregnant women if they forget when taking Fe tablets. Pregnant women who routinely have ANC will also receive Fe tablets from the midwife who checks for compliance with taking Fe is better when Fe tablets are also available. The opinion of researchers of primigravida pregnant women in the second trimester shows that the first, second, and third subjects are pregnant women in the second trimester who have experience taking Fe tablets. They reported the same complaints, namely nausea and vomiting after taking Fe tablets; even so, they remained obedient and routinely took Fe tablets every day, with and without being reminded by their families, they still routinely took Fe tablets. Some mothers understand the impact of not taking Fe tablets, namely, anemia and bleeding. During the interviews, all mothers said that they routinely checked their pregnancy every month with a midwife accompanied by their husbands.

Background: Iron-containing blood-boosting tablet supplements are crucial for meeting micronutrient needs in pregnant women and children. Micronutrient deficiencies, such as iron, have the potential to cause stunting. This supplementation program is expected to improve the nutritional status of the Indonesian population, prevent stunting, and support optimal growth.Objective: This systematic literature review aims to analyze the relationship between iron-boosting tablet supplements in meeting micronutrient needs and preventing stunting in children (toddlers and infants) in Indonesia.Method: A systematic literature search was conducted to identify relevant articles in 3 main databases (Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholars). Studies on the consumption of iron-boosting tablets for meeting micronutrient needs in stunting cases require a systematic review with inclusion criteria limited to articles published between 2015-2024, free full text, in Indonesian and English.Results: Of the 10 articles analyzed, most showed that consumption of Iron-Boosting Tablets (TTD) in pregnant women can increase hemoglobin levels and reduce the risk of anemia, which contributes to the prevention of stunting in children. However, the compliance rate of pregnant women in consuming TTD is still low due to side effects and lack of awareness. Additionally, socio-economic factors also play a role in children's nutritional status, where families with low incomes have a higher risk of anemia and stunting.Conclusion: TTD supplementation plays an important role in the prevention of anemia and stunting in children. However, its effectiveness is greatly influenced by the level of consumption compliance and socio-economic factors. Therefore, more intensive education and multi-sectoral policies are needed to improve accessibility and compliance with TTD consumption in stunting prevention efforts in Indonesia.    

This study aims to examine the effect of education on the adherence of adolescent girls to iron supplementation tablets (IST). Anemia in adolescent girls is a significant health problem, influenced by iron loss during menstruation and increased iron requirements during growth. Low adherence to IST consumption is caused by various factors, including unpleasant side effects after consuming IST, the perception of being healthy and not needing medication, and a lack of knowledge about the dangers of iron deficiency anemia in adolescence. The method used is a narrative review, with research journal sources related to the adherence of adolescent girls in consuming IST. These research journals were obtained from Google Scholar and selected those published in the last five years (2019-2023). The review results indicate the importance of education in increasing adherence to IST consumption. Audiovisual methods, such as videos and YouTube, have proven effective. Additionally, support from health workers and pharmacists is crucial in increasing the adherence of adolescent girls to IST consumption. It is concluded that innovative education and good support are essential in increasing the adherence of adolescent girls to IST consumption.

Stunting is a public health problem caused by chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections, especially in toddlers. This study aims to analyze the relationship between giving additional blood supplements (TTD) during pregnancy and the incidence of Stunting in toddlers at the District Health Center, Tasikmalaya West Java. The research used a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach on 133 respondents from pregnant women and toddlers aged 24–35 months. The research results showed that 52.6% of toddlers experienced Stunting, while 72.2% of mothers did not comply with taking TTD during pregnancy. Data analysis using the Chi-Square test did not find a significant relationship between adherence to TTD consumption and the incidence of Stunting (p-value = 0.568). This study emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach in dealing with Stunting, including nutritional education, pregnancy monitoring, and increasing awareness of the importance of consuming TTD.

Anemia in adolescent girls remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in island regions with limited access to health information and services. One of the main factors contributing to the high incidence of anemia is the low level of knowledge and attitudes among adolescent girls regarding the importance of consuming iron (Fe) tablets. Nutrition education is seen as a promotive-preventive strategy that has the potential to improve the determinants of anemia prevention behavior. This study aims to analyze the effect of nutrition education on the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls regarding the importance of consuming iron tablets in community health centers in the Morotai Islands. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 30 adolescent girls selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to measure knowledge and attitudes before and after the nutrition education intervention. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and inferentially using paired statistical tests appropriate to the data distribution. The results showed an increase in the level of knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls towards consuming iron tablets after being provided with nutrition education. Statistical tests showed a statistically significant difference between the conditions before and after the intervention in both knowledge and attitude variables. In conclusion, nutrition education significantly impacts adolescent girls' knowledge and positive attitudes toward iron tablet consumption. Structured and sustainable integration of nutrition education into primary healthcare services, particularly in island regions, is crucial to support anemia prevention efforts from adolescence onward.

The results of the multiple t-test showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge and family support regarding pregnant women who consume iron tablets in the Tere Margaret Hospital work area in 2023. Health services must increase the dissemination of information through public awareness through the role of leaders in increasing knowledge about the importance of routine consumption of iron tablets for pregnant women every day.

Anemia in pregnant women is a health problem that is often faced in Indonesia. Anemia requires special attention because it can have a significant impact on maternal and neonatal health. Based on data for May 2024 at the Bumisari Village posyandu, there were 67 pregnant women and 46.2% of them had anemia. An effort to increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia is by giving them dates which contain high levels of iron. The aim of the research is to determine the effect of giving dates to increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia in Bumisari Natar Village in 2024. Quantitative research type, pre-experimental research method with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. The population is all 67 pregnant women recorded in May 2024 with a sample of 31 respondents. 7 dates were given per day for 7 consecutive days. Data collection used observation sheets, univariate and bivariate data analysis (t-test). Based on the research results, it is known that the average hemoglobin level of pregnant women with anemia before consuming dates is 9,652 gr/dl, while the average hemoglobin level of pregnant women with anemia after consuming dates is 11,545 gr/dl. There was an effect of giving dates to increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia in Bumisari Natar Village in 2024 (p-value 0.001) with a difference in increase in hemoglobin levels of 1,893 gr/dl. Advice for health workers, especially midwives, is to advise pregnant women to consume dates as a companion to Fe tablets because they can increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women.

Organization  (WHO)  in  world  health  statisticsin  2021  shows  that  the  prevalence  of anemia in women of reproductive age (15-49) in the world in 2019 is around 29.9%. The results of the 2018  Basic  Health  Research  report  by  Balitbangkes,  in  Indonesia  the  prevalence  of  anemia  in adolescent girls is around 27.2% in the 15-24 year age group. The cause of anemia is generally due to lack of knowledge about anemia, iron deficiency, folic acid, vitamin B12 and Vitamin A. The purpose of this study was to determine anemia in adolescent girls in the Ciputat Region, South Tangerang.This research is a qualitative research. The sample in this study were 7 young womens. Data was collected using  triangulation  test,  processed  by  data  reduction  method  and  presented  in  the  form  of  narrative text.Most  of  the  young  women  do  not  understand  anemia  so  well,  so  they  do  not  do  prevention of anemia such as taking Blood Supplement Tablets (TTD), as a result, young women feel the effects such as dizziness and light-headedness. Poor eating and sleeping patterns and heavy menstruation are the causes  of  anemia  in  adolescent  girls.  Young women  still  do  not  understand  clearly  about anemia,  so that  anemia  suffered  by  young  women  is  caused  by  poor  eating  and  sleeping  patterns  and  heavy menstrual  expenditure.  Teenage  girls  often  experience dizziness  and  light-headedness  due  to  the anemia they suffer. Adolescent girls have never done prevention of anemia and rarely consume Blood Add Tablets (TTD).It is expected that young women can increase knowledge about anemia.

Efforts to reduce the prevalence of anemia in adolescent girls are carried out by supplementing with Iron Tablets. This research aims to evaluate the program of providing iron tablets to adolescent girls in the work area of the Kebonsari Health Center, Madiun Regency. The research was conducted qualitatively with indepth interview techniques and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), informants were determined by purposive sampling totaling 16 people. The research was conducted in July-September 2023 at the Health Office, Madiun Regency Pharmacy Installation, Kebonsari Health Center, SMPN 2 Kebonsari and MAN 1 Madiun. The data analysis technique used triangulation, processed using reduction and presented in the narrative text. The results of the study were reviewed based on the book "Guidelines for Prevention and Management of Anemia in Adolescent Girls 2016" showing that several aspects were appropriate, including human resources, fund allocation, preparation, distribution, recording and reporting, scope of activities and accuracy of targets and distribution. While aspects that were not appropriate included facilities and infrastructure, monitoring and timeliness. Similar research should be conducted in other schools in the working area of the Kebonsari Health Center, Madiun Regency so that the effectiveness of the implementation of the program can be evaluated and improved.  

Midwives are one of the health workers in reducing maternal and infant mortality rates by providing continuous midwifery services, promotion through partnerships and empowering communities with other health workers. The sample in this study was 24 pregnant women in the second and third trimesters consisting of 12 respondents for the control group and 12 respondents for the intervention group. The time of the study was May to June at the Negri Lama Health Center in 2022. The time of the study was May to June at the Negri Lama Health Center in 2022. The results of the bivariate analysis test using Mann Whitney showed a P-Value of 0.022 (P <0.05) so Ho was rejected, which means that there is a significant effect of giving dates on increasing hemoglobin in pregnant women in the second trimester. Pregnant women, especially pregnant women who experience anemia, are expected to routinely consume iron tablets and dates because if consumed properly, dates have many benefits, especially for pregnant women and dates do not have side effects on the fetus or mother so that they can meet the nutritional needs required by the body and can maximize iron absorption.

One of the government's steps to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates starts from adolescence by giving blood-boosting tablets to pregnant women Anemia is defined as a low hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in the blood. The high coverage of giving 90 Fe tablets to pregnant women does not guarantee a reduction in anemia if adherence to Fe tablets is still low. The research aims to determine the relationship between the level of compliance with the consumption of Fe tablets and the incidence of anemia in third trimester pregnant women. The observational research design uses a cross-sectional design. The research sample of third trimester pregnant women at Bhayangkara Banjarmasin Hospital consisted of 25 respondent. Sampling used Random Sampling technique. Data analysis includes univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square statistical test. The statistical test results showed that there was a relationship between the level of compliance with the consumption of Fe tablets and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the third trimester at Bhayangkara Hospital, Banjarmasin. The lower the mother's level of compliance with taking Fe tablets, the greater the risk of developing anemia. The results of this study were that the majority of respondents studied had non-compliance in consuming blood supplement tablets (28%) and respondents who experienced anemia were (72%). The result was a p value <0.01, so there was a relationship between adherence to iron consumption and anemia. Respondents who did not comply with iron consumption had a 25.0 times greater risk of anemia. The conclusion in this study is that there is a relationship between compliance with Fe tablet consumption in TM III pregnant women and the incidence of anemia at Bhayangkara Banjarmasin Hospital.

Background: Anemia in pregnant women is a significant health problem, especially in developing countries, where its prevalence can reach 43%. Anemia can increase the risk of low birth weight (LBW), which negatively affects the health of the baby. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors that influence pregnant women's adherence to taking blood supplement tablets (TTD) and its impact on maternal and infant health. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and family support on pregnant women's adherence to taking iron tablets, and to analyze the relationship between anemia in pregnant women and the incidence of LBW. Methods: The method used in the preparation of this journal is the literature review method. Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between mothers' knowledge about the importance of iron and their compliance in taking iron tablets, with a highly significant p value. Family support was also shown to play an important role in improving the adherence of pregnant women. Overall, this study emphasizes the need for appropriate interventions and continuous education on the importance of iron consumption during pregnancy to reduce the risk of anemia and LBW.

Counseling with media can arouse and bring pregnant women into an atmosphere of joy and happiness, where there is emotional and mental involvement. The effectiveness of using counseling media is largely determined by the number of senses involved. The more senses used, the easier it is to understand the counseling message. This study aims to analyze the effect of counseling using audiovisual media on compliance with iron tablet consumption behavior in pregnant women in Bangun Rejo Village, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province in 2024. This type of research is an intervention study using a true experimental research design. The design of this study is a pre-test and post-test with control group design. A pre-test was carried out, then an intervention was carried out on the experimental group and the control group, then a post-test was carried out on the experimental group and the control group with a time gap of two weeks. With a sample size of 32 pregnant women in the third trimester using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed an increase in compliance in the counseling group using audiovisual media was greater, namely 43.73 compared to the counseling group that did not use audiovisual media, namely 31.60. The data were then analyzed using an independent t-test with computer software and produced a p-value of 0.000 <0.05. Conclusion: Counseling using audiovisual media can increase compliance in consuming iron tablets compared to counseling alone without using media.
