Introduction: The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia remains high. This condition is concerning because the government has run a program of giving iron tablets to pregnant women since 1970. This study aimed to determine socioenvironmental factors that cause anemia in pregnant women. Methods: This qualitative research used phenomenological methods. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 mothers with anemia and 12 focus group discussion (FGD) informants. Qualitative data analysis was applied to analyze the data. Results: The study found three factors: anemia in the preconception period, diets that cause a lack of iron consumption, and knowledge and consumption of iron tablets in pregnant women. Anemia in pregnant women is a continuous cycle of anemia which begins in the preconception period. Adolescent eating behavior and supplementation programs for pregnant women integrated with antenatal care are still problematic. Discussion and Conclusion: The findings of this study provide important information for preventing anemia in pregnant women, increasing counseling, and evaluating the implementation of iron supplementation in pregnant women. The policy of administering iron tablets to pregnant women to prevent anemia is not effective in reducing the prevalence of anemia. This government policy must be accompanied by a community movement program because the findings of this study show the problems that exist in the individual factors of the mother.

“…The previous analysis reported that young women aged 20-24 had a higher percentage of knowledge in urban areas. That percentage increased with education (Afifah et al, 2020). Other research in the United States also revealed that people living in rural areas tend to use search engines less than people living in urban areas and have less access to health information from various sources, including blogs, publications, and health workers.…”

The limited knowledge of young women about anemia and the difficulty in accessing information about anemia are essential problems for young women’s health. This study examines the association between sociodemographic factors and media access with anemia knowledge in young women in Indonesia. This study analyzed data from the 2017 Indonesian Health Demographic Survey. This study involved unmarried women of childbearing aged 15–24 years who had heard of anemia. The analysis used multiple logistic regression. The percentage of young Indonesian women with good knowledge of anemia was 70.9%. This study showed that the odds of having good knowledge of anemia increased significantly among young women aged 20–24 years (AOR = 1.341, 95% CI [1.140, 1.579], p < .001), living in urban areas (AOR = 1.178, 95% CI [1.015, 1.367], p < .05), highly educated (AOR = 2.617, 95% CI [1.647, 4.160], p < .001), had the highest economic quintile (AOR = 1.730, 95% CI [1.356, 2.207], p < .001), read newspapers/magazines at least once a week (AOR = 1.315, 95% CI [1.089, 1.588], p < .01), and had access the Internet almost every day (AOR = 1.204, 95% CI [1.038, 1.397], p < .05). Education on anemia among this age group should be encouraged and instituted in the educational curriculum. Newspapers, magazines, and internet media may be practical tools for educating young people about health and nutrition.

“…The high prevalence of anemia among young adults in Indonesia may differ among regions and population subgroups and is likely due to a combination of factors, including poor nutrition, infectious diseases, chronic diseases, inherited disorders (sickle cell anemia, thalassemia), and inadequate access to healthcare [ 4 , 5 ]. Interestingly, recent evidence has shown that the awareness programs and laboratory examinations have identified more thalassemia carriers, minors, or traits among young adults [ 6 ].…”

Background. Anemia, a global health concern, affects one-fourth of the global population, particularly women. In Indonesia, its prevalence is 23.7%, with 32.0% among 15-24 year-olds. Factors include poor nutrition, infectious diseases, chronic diseases, inherited disorders, and inadequate healthcare access. This study aimed to investigate anemia prevalence and its etiology among medical students from Jakarta. Methods. This study was a descriptive research with a cross-sectional approach. Undergraduate students aged 18–23 years old were selected and consented to participate by a consecutive nonrandom sampling methods. Laboratory blood data were evaluated (including Hb, MCV, MCH, HbA2, and ferritin levels) and DNA was isolated to confirm the type of thalassemia carrier. Results. In total, 140 medical students, mainly female, were recruited. Anemia was found in 13.6% (11.4% had low MCV and/or MCH), and 16.5% had low MCV and/or MCH without anemia. Hb electrophoresis revealed high HbA2 values, suggesting the HbE variant (2.1%), and β-thalassemia carrier (0.7%). DNA analysis confirmed the cd26 mutation and heterozygous IVS1nt5. Among those without anemia, 5% had α-deletion, while in the group with anemia, 1.4% had α-deletion (with coexistent IDA), 3.6% had α-deletion, and 0.7% had β-mutation. Conclusion. DNA analysis can identify specific mutations associated with alpha-thalassemia, distinguishing between iron deficiency anemia and the alpha-thalassemia trait. Thalassemia screening should involve low MCV and/or MCH values as the first step (stage 1), followed by Hb analysis (stage 2) and DNA analysis (stage 3). In common areas, a combination of Hb and DNA testing is best. However, healthcare professionals must diagnose and treat thalassemia, as proper management relies on accurately identifying the underlying condition.
