Abstract

During pregnancy, women are at risk of developing anemia, which can increase the likelihood of preterm birth and, in severe cases, lead to maternal or infant mortality. Anemia in pregnancy is influenced by multiple factors, and identifying these determinants can facilitate effective prevention. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women and the factors associated with it. The research used a cross-sectional design with 100 pregnant women living in the working area of Nagaswidak Public Health Center, Palembang, as subjects. Samples were selected using a consecutive sampling method. Hemoglobin levels were measured using a hemoglobin test strip, while other variables were obtained through questionnaires. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. The results showed that gestational age (p-value=0,032), pregnancy spacing (p-value=0,017), compliance with iron tablet consumption (p-value=0,004), and nutritional status (p-value=0,000) were significantly associated with anemia in pregnant women. Meanwhile, maternal age (p-value=0,064), education (p-value=0,703), occupation (p-value=0,908), parity (p-value=0,444), knowledge (p-value=0,251), and dietary patterns (p-value=0,965) were not significantly related. Efforts to prevent anemia in pregnancy should focus on improving iron tablet compliance, monitoring nutritional status, and promoting optimal pregnancy spacing.

Abstract

Stunting is a long-term nutritional issue that impacts children’s physical and cognitive development. Efforts to prevent stunting need to be initiated early through nutritional education and improvement of health behaviors, including oral hygiene. Nutritional problem and dental health are interrelated because dental and oral disorders such as caries can reduce children’s appetite and nutritional intake, thereby worsening the risk of stunting. This activity aimed to increase the nutritional knowledge and understanding the oral hygiene of preschoolers and parents through interactive education and supplementary feeding (PMT) of Moris Cookies made from Moringa Leaves as a source of nutrients. This activity was conducted at PAUD Mutiara Hati, Jejawi Village, involving 20 children and parents. The education was delivered through stunting counceling, the practice of brushing teeth using Tooth Doll and the distribution of PMT Moris Cookies. The result of this activity showed that 66.6% of respondents understood the educationional materials provided, and the children showed enthusiasm for the consumption of Moris Cookies and the practice of brushing their teeth. This activity contributed to improving nutrition and oral hygiene knowledge and it is expected to be the first step in supporting stunting prevention efforts at the preschoolers level.
