Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the role of soy biscuits as supplementary food in reducing the frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) in health crises. The research explores the nutritional effectiveness of soy biscuits, their acceptability among pregnant women, and their potential as a non-pharmacological intervention in community-based maternal healthcare settings, particularly at TPMB Hj Sitti Hasrah Ibrahim. Research Design and Methodology: This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) approach, analyzing relevant studies from peer-reviewed journals to assess the impact of protein-based nutritional interventions on HG symptoms. The research synthesizes evidence on dietary strategies, maternal nutrition, and the physiological mechanisms through which soy biscuits alleviate HG symptoms. The review also incorporates empirical data from similar interventions to evaluate their feasibility in low-resource and crisis-affected healthcare settings. Findings and Discussion: The findings indicate that soy biscuits significantly stabilize blood sugar levels, reduce gastric motility disturbances, and improve maternal food tolerance. Compared to high-carbohydrate or high-fat diets, a protein-based nutrition approach is more effective in managing nausea and vomiting in patients with HG. Additionally, soy biscuits are well-tolerated and accepted by pregnant women, making them a practical intervention for managing HG in settings with limited access to pharmacological treatments. Implications: This study offers practical insights for healthcare providers, policymakers, and food manufacturers advocating for nutritional interventions in maternal healthcare programs. Future research should investigate alternative formulations, large-scale implementation, and long-term health outcomes to establish a comprehensive dietary strategy for managing HG.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effect of iron tablet supplementation on pregnant women from the first to the third trimester in preventing pregnancy-related anemia. The primary focus is on understanding the dynamics of consumption compliance, maternal perceptions, the effectiveness of health education, as well as environmental factors and accessibility that influence the success of the intervention. Research Method: This study employed a qualitative approach, based on a systematic literature review of relevant publications from 2018 to 2025. The analysis was conducted thematically to identify consumption patterns, motivations, educational interventions, and their impact on the hemoglobin status of pregnant women. Results and Discussion: The findings indicate a progressive trend in adherence to iron tablet consumption from the first to the third trimester, with the main barriers being complaints of nausea and gastrointestinal side effects. Positive perceptions of the benefits of iron tablets, along with appropriate social support and education, have been shown to improve adherence. Health education tailored to the stage of pregnancy is more effective in changing behavior. Consistent iron tablet consumption contributes to increased hemoglobin levels and reduces the risk of anemia, as well as pregnancy complications such as preterm birth and low birth weight. Implications: This study provides original contributions to the development of trimester-based maternal health education strategies and the improvement of iron tablet availability in primary care. The implications include strengthening maternal and child health program policies and involving multiple stakeholders, including families and communities, in supporting the success of interventions.
