Abstract

Background: Palembang City has the highest prevalence of anemia in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Protein contributes to hemoglobin formation and insufficient protein intake increases the risk of anemia. However, Sumatera studies on protein intake based on protein sources in pregnant women are still limited. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between animal protein consumption and anemia prevalence in pregnant women. Methods: A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted from July to October 2024 at six public health centers and seven private midwife clinics selected to represent Palembang’s geographic diversity. A total of 62 pregnant women in their second or third trimester were recruited using consecutive sampling. Dietary intake was assessed via interviewer-administered 2×24-hour recalls on non-consecutive days. Protein intake was analyzed using modified NutriSurvey 2004 and categorized based on the Indonesian RDA. Hemoglobin levels were measured using venous blood samples and classified according to trimester-specific anemia thresholds. Bivariate analysis with Fisher’s exact test was used to examine the association between animal protein intake and anemia prevalence. Results: The Fisher Exact Test showed a statistically significant association between animal protein consumption levels and anemia in pregnant women in Palembang City (p = 0.018). The mean total protein intake was 80.40 ± 20.53 g/day, with animal and vegetable proteins contributing 40.22 ± 18.63 g/day and 40.91 ± 24.5 g/day, respectively. Mean hemoglobin level was 11.18 ± 1.17 g/dL. Conclusion: Sufficient consumption of animal protein was found to be more protective against the occurrence of anemia.

Abstract

Palembang is the city with the highest incidence of anemia in 2023, a condition that linked to maternal malnutrition. Gestational weight gain (GWG) is one of the indicator of maternal nutritional status. One of the factor that may influence the nutritional status is household income because it determines how a person afford their own nutrition. This study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted from August to October 2024. Data collection involved body weight measurement using the TANITA BC-601 and structured questionnaires. GWG was calculated as the difference between current body weight and pre-pregnancy weight, then the adequacy of GWG was assessed by comparing current weight with the ideal weight for gestational age. Eligible participants included singleton pregnant women without chronic illnesses who had completed the triple elimination program and received antenatal care at public health centers or private midwifery practices. Data analysis was performed with Chi Square analysis by using SPSS 27th version.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is essential for maternal and infant health, yet its coverage remains low in several regions. This community service activity aims to evaluate the effectiveness of community-based counseling in improving knowledge among Posyandu cadres and pregnant women. The activity involved 11 cadres and 32 pregnant women in Ilir Barat II using pretest, counseling, discussion, simulation, and post-test approaches. Results showed an increase in participants' knowledge scores, with the cadres' median pretest score improving from 12 (8–18) to 18 (14–19), and pregnant women’s scores rising from 8.6 (2–15) to 17 (13–20). The PRECEDE-PROCEED model was applied to identify predisposing factors through IPTEKS-based education, enabling through simulations, and reinforcing through cadre support. Community-based counseling proved effective in enhancing participants' knowledge, though the changes were not entirely significant. This program has the potential to be replicated in other areas to improve exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Indonesia.
