“…The results of the current study are in line with another study conducted by Winardi & Andani (2018), which also showed that pregnant women with a good level of knowledge about anemia will take measures to prevent anemia (for example, consuming nutritious foods and regularly taking Fe tablets).…”

Background: Anemia is a pregnancy complication that increases the morbidity and mortality of mother and baby during pregnancy and until puerperium. In 2015, the incidence of anemia in Indonesia was 23%. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine factors that influence anemia in the third trimester of pregnancy. Methods: The study was conducted on pregnant women in Mojokerto. This study used a case-control design. The sample calculation results obtained 70 cases and 70 controls. The primary and secondary data were obtained from the MCH book and from interviews conducted according to questionnaire guidelines. Data were analyzed via chi-squared test and logistic regression test. Results: The factors that influence anemia in the third trimester of pregnancy were found to be age (p value = 0.04; OR 2.08; 95% CI = 1.04–4.16), occupation (p value = 0.02; OR = 2.27; 95% CI = 1.15–4.47), birth interval (p value = 0.03; OR = 2.25; 95% CI 1.08-4.69), nutritional status (p value = 0.02; OR = 2.33; 95% CI = 1.14- 4.82), knowledge [about anemia] (p value = 0.01; OR = 3.17; 95% CI = 1.41-7.09), income per month (p value = 0.03, OR = 2.25; 95% CI =1.08–4.69), smoking activity (p value = 0.04; OR = 2.00; 95% CI = 1.02–3.92), perception (p value = 0.02; OR = 2.20; 95% CI = 1.10–4.40) , and spousal support (p value = 0.01; OR = 2.63; 95% CI = 1.16 – 5.93) Conclusion: The most influential factors on anemia in the third trimester of pregnancy were birth interval, nutritional status, and knowledge.

“…Early information conveyed by health workers to pregnant women in this high-risk group can increase patient knowledge about risk of anemia and efforts to prevent it. Good knowledge can produce good attitudes and behaviors in using iron tablets for prevention of anemia during pregnancy [14,15]. Pregnant women in the western part of Indonesia were better than those in the eastern part at receiving iron tablets to prevent anemia during pregnancy [8].…”

“…Knowledge about the importance of iron tablets during pregnancy has a significant relationship with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women [21]. Knowledge of pregnant women about anemia is significantly related to adherence to received iron tablets [14,15], adherence to receiving iron tablets is significantly related to the incidence of anemia in pregnant women [22], and also knowledge and attitudes towards iron supplements are strongly related to maternal behaviour pregnant in receiving iron tablets [23].…”

et al. 2023

Introduction: Anemia during pregnancy is a significant threat to health and safety of mothers and children. Objective: This study aimed to investigate factors associated with receiving iron supplements during pregnancy among women in Indonesia. Methods: This study used data from the Indonesian demographic and health survey 2017. The dataset used was individual data with a target population of women aged 15-49. A total of 14,564 women aged from 15 to 49 years were included in the analysis. A binary logistic regression model explored associations between the independent variables and the received iron supplements. Results: In this study, most interviewed women (n=12,939; 88.84%) received iron supplements during pregnancy. Factors found to be associated with receiving iron supplements during pregnancy included pregnant women aged >35 years (AOR=2.20; 95% CI=1.34-3.61), lived in the eastern and middle part of Indonesia (AOR=1.71; 95% CI=1.20-2.42; AOR=1.75; 95% CI=1.49-2.06), attended antenatal care consultations (AOR=1.40; 95% CI=1.18-1.65), had blood tests (AOR=1.52; 95% CI=1.32-1.76), knew the signs and symptoms of danger of pregnancy complications (AOR=1.56; 95% CI=1.29-1.89), had vaginal bleeding during pregnancy (AOR=1.25; 95% CI=1.03-1.50), had 1-2 total children ever born (AOR=1.18; 95% CI=1.00-1.40), and were exposed to information via the Internet (AOR=1.18; 95% CI=1.00-1.39) and newspapers or magazines (AOR=1.17; 95% CI=1.01-1.35). Conclusions: The study highlighted that despite free access to iron supplementation during pregnancy, some women failed to receive iron supplements during pregnancy. Also, women of reproductive age living in the eastern part of Indonesia, who did not have blood tests, were absent from attending antenatal care and did not know the signs and symptoms of dangerous pregnancy complications were among those who failed to receive iron supplements during pregnancy. Thus, identifying and promoting awareness of those at high risk of not receiving iron supplements should be a priority for the government and health workers in providing health services.

“…An iron supplementation program has widely been implemented in Indonesia, targeting female adolescents and pregnant women. However, this program phases many challenges: poor knowledge on anemia, low compliance of iron tablet consumption, low antenatal care visits, other micronutrient deficiencies, and poor health education [15,16]. Data from a basic health survey (2018) indicated that only 38.1% of pregnant women consumed the recommended iron tablets [5].…”

A Life Course Approach to the Prevention of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Indonesia

et al. 2022

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) has a long-term impact on each life stage and remains worldwide a major public health problem. Eleven experts were invited to participate in a virtual meeting to discuss the present situation and the available intervention to prevent iron deficiency anemia in Indonesia. The experts consisted of obstetric gynecologists, pediatricians, nutritionists, midwives, a clinical psychologist, and an education expert. Existing interventions focus attention on preconception and early childhood stages. Considering the inter-generational effects of IDA, we call attention to expanding strategies to all life stages through integrating political, educational, and nutritional interventions. The experts agreed that health education and nutritional intervention should be started since adolescence. Further research to explore the effectiveness of these interventions would be important for many regions in the world. The outcome of this Indonesian consensus is applicable worldwide.
