Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy remains a major public health issue, particularly in the third trimester when the risk to both mother and fetus increases. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge level and iron tablet consumption behavior with the incidence of anemia in third-trimester pregnant women at PMB Nurasmalinda, Simpang Kiri District, Subulussalam City, in 2024. This research uses an analytic survey method with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 35 third-trimester pregnant women were selected as respondents using total sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and hemoglobin (Hb) level measurements. The results showed that 57.1% of respondents had low knowledge and 62.9% exhibited poor iron tablet consumption behavior. Bivariate analysis using the chi-square test revealed a significant relationship between knowledge level (p = 0.002) and consumption behavior (p = 0.001) with the incidence of anemia. Furthermore, multivariate analysis using logistic regression indicated that consumption behavior was the most influential factor (p = 0.008; OR = 4.77; 95% CI = 1.516–15.686). It can be concluded that iron tablet consumption behavior is a dominant factor in the incidence of anemia among third-trimester pregnant women. Health education and consistent monitoring are needed to improve knowledge and adherence to iron supplementation.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that affects physical growth, cognitive development, and the quality of human resources in the future. Limited maternal knowledge regarding stunting prevention and family nutrition management is one of the major risk factors contributing to stunting among children under five. This community service program aimed to improve mothers’ knowledge of stunting prevention and family nutrition education in Bangun Rejo Village, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province. The program employed a participatory-educative approach using a pre-test and post-test design involving 67 mothers of under-five children. The intervention included interactive counseling sessions, visual and digital educational media, practical simulations of preparing nutritious meals, and the empowerment of selected mothers as nutrition information agents. The results indicated a significant increase in participants’ knowledge levels; prior to the intervention, 52.2% of participants were categorized as having low knowledge, while after the intervention, 67.2% were categorized as having good knowledge. In addition to improved knowledge, positive changes in attitudes and motivation were observed, particularly in implementing balanced nutrition practices and routine child health monitoring. These findings suggest that a participatory approach is effective in enhancing maternal nutrition literacy and can serve as a community-based intervention model to support stunting reduction programs at the village level.
