Abstract

Lack of hemoglobin in the blood (anemia) is a nutritional problem that is often experienced during pregnancy, which consequently causes growth disorders, development and complications during pregnancy and childbirth, which have an impact on maternal and infant mortality. In Indonesia, 5 out of 10 pregnant women experience anemia. The parameter used to detect anemia in the blood is hemoglobin. The aim of the study was to see the effectiveness of consuming Fe tablets and folic acid tablets on changes in hemoglobin values of anemic pregnant women. The study used a comparative analytic, Repeated Measures Experiment design on 35 anemic pregnant women from the Alai Health Center in Padang City, who were chosen by purposive sampling. The tool utilized was a hematology analyzer, and the study’s results were recorded on an observation sheet using the repeated measures ANOVA test. The average hemoglobin value of anemic pregnant women before the supplementation intervention was 9.64 g%, and it was 10.43 g% after the supplementation intervention, according to the study’s findings. Statistical tests showed the effectiveness of supplementation of Fe and folic acid tablets on changes in hemoglobin values of anemic pregnant women with a significance value of 0.000 (α < 0.05). Supplementation of Fe and folic acid tablets has a positive effect on the hemoglobin value of anemic pregnant women. This therapy is hoped to be applied in the management of health services, particularly for anemic pregnant women.
