In 2025, cadre groups in the working area of Puskesmas Martapura Timur have mostly never been involved in education about health issues including the problem of anemia in pregnant women. This community service expects cadre groups to increase knowledge and skills about Anemia Prevention during pregnancy. The method used is to identify health problems, train health cadres to provide health education about anemia in pregnant women, healthy and nutritionally balanced foods to prevent anemia, self-care during pregnancy, and recognition of signs of anemia in pregnant women with a peer educator approach suitable for the field of health promotion to change knowledge, attitudes, and healthy living behavior. The results of community service showed an increase in knowledge and skills to 90%.

Background: Anemia in pregnancy is a public health problem that can increase the risk of serious complications, such as premature birth, maternal and infant mortality, and impaired fetal growth and development. One effort to prevent anemia is by consuming iron tablets (iron supplements). However, the success of this intervention is greatly influenced by the behavior of pregnant women in consuming these tablets, which includes knowledge, attitudes, and actions. If pregnant women have a good understanding and attitude, and implement iron tablet consumption appropriately, the risk of anemia can be reduced. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between iron consumption behavior (based on knowledge, attitudes, and actions) with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women at the Kuala Bangka Community Health Center, North Labuhan Batu Regency, in 2022. Method: This study used a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 20 pregnant women selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire covering knowledge, attitudes, and actions of pregnant women regarding iron consumption, as well as the incidence of anemia. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: The majority of respondents had sufficient knowledge (45%), insufficient attitudes (70%), and insufficient iron consumption actions (70%). Moderate anemia was found in 70% of respondents. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between knowledge (p=0.005), attitudes (p=0.001), and practices (p=0.000) and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between iron consumption behavior (knowledge, attitudes, and practices) and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. Increased education and support for pregnant women regarding the importance of proper iron consumption to prevent anemia during pregnancy is needed.

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a manifestation of malnutrition characterized by an inadequate energy intake over a prolonged period in pregnant women, resulting in adverse health outcomes due to a relative or absolute deficiency of one or more essential nutrients. The 2023 SKI results indicate that malnutrition among pregnant women remains a problem, with nearly 3 out of 10 pregnant women experiencing anemia and 17% at risk of CED. According to data from the Jambi City Health Office, Putri Ayu Public Health Center (Puskesmas Putri Ayu) has the highest number of CED cases, with 67 affected pregnant women. The main objective of this study is to explain the underlying factors contributing to the high prevalence of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) and to inform the development of evidence-based health interventions aimed at reducing this condition. This study employed a quantitative research method with a case-control design. The sampling technique used was purposive total sampling, involving 78 pregnant women in the Putri Ayu Public Health Center area, Jambi City. Data collection was conducted in October 2024, using a questionnaire as the research instrument. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed a significant relationship between CED and parity (p=0.034), anemia (p=0.013), attitude (p=0.000), and the role of health workers (p=0.000). No significant relationship was found between CED and age (p=1.000), pregnancy spacing (p=0.615), and knowledge (p=0.359) in pregnant women. The findings indicate that parity, anemia, attitude, and the role of health workers are significantly associated with the occurrence of CED in pregnant women, while age, pregnancy spacing, and knowledge are not significantly associated.

Maternal health is a measure of the level of social welfare. Maternal death is the death of a woman during pregnancy, childbirth or within 42 days after the end of pregnancy. Perineal rupture is the second most common cause of postpartum bleeding. Tearing may coincide with uterine atony. Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), 2.7 million cases of perineal rupture occurred in mothers giving birth. This figure is estimated to reach 6.3 million in 2050. One way to prevent perineal rupture is to maintain the elasticity of the perineum. Increasing the elasticity of the perineum is done by means of pregnancy exercises.

Anemia is a condition in which the body has too few red blood cells (erythrocytes) which contain hemoglobin which functions to carry oxygen to all body tissues. Signs and symptoms of anemia include fatigue, weakness, decreased capacity/ability or work productivity. Anemia in pregnancy is a condition in which the mother has Hb levels below 11 gr% in the first and second trimesters or levels <10.5 gr% in the third trimester (Proverawati, 2016). One of the biggest health problems suffered by pregnant women in the world is anemia because it is a direct cause of death. Globally, the prevalence of anemia suffered by people around the world is 2.3 billion. Around 50% of it is caused by iron deficiency anemia (World Health Organization (WHO, 2017). The type of research used in this study is analytical with a cross-sectional approach. Cross-sectional is a research approach that emphasizes the time of measurement/observation of independent and dependent variable data only once at one time. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between one variable and another. (Notoatmodjo, 2018)

Maternal mortality during childbirth is a global concern, and in Indonesia, this issue remains significant. According to the Ministry of Health (Depkes) in 2020, the primary cause of maternal mortality during childbirth is hemorrhage (28%). Anemia and energy deficiency are the main contributing factors to hemorrhage. Preventing iron-deficiency anemia can be achieved through the use of tablet supplements containing 200 mg ferrous sulfate + 0.25 mg folic acid (Fe tablets). Therefore, the level of coverage and compliance among pregnant mothers in consuming iron tablets becomes an intriguing subject for investigation. This research aims to identify determinant factors influencing the compliance of pregnant mothers in consuming iron tablets at the Barrang Lompo Island Community Health Center in Makassar in the year 2023. Method: This study employs a non-experimental quantitative research design utilizing a cross-sectional approach. The study is conducted at the Maternal and Child Health Clinic of the Barrang Lompo Island Community Health Center in Makassar from April to June 2023. The sample size for this research is 38 individuals, selected using Non-Probability Sampling, specifically Purposive Sampling. The data is analyzed using the chi-square test. Research findings indicate that the factors influencing pregnant mothers' compliance in consuming iron tablets during pregnancy exhibit low p-values. The p-values are as follows: 0.00 for knowledge, 0.01 for attitude, 0.00 for family support, and 0.01 for healthcare provider motivation. This demonstrates a significant relationship between these factors and the compliance of pregnant mothers in maintaining iron tablet intake during pregnancy, at a significance level of α = 0.05. Conclusion: Knowledge, attitude, family support, and healthcare provider motivation significantly influence the compliance of pregnant mothers in consuming iron tablets.
