The research design used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique was simple random sampling. The population was 21 pregnant women with Third Trimester anemia in the working area of the Merakurak Health Center and a sample of 20 people. The contingency coefficient test using SPSS 21 obtained a value of 0.036 (p<0.05) meaning there was a correlation between knowledge and compliance and the contingency coefficient test is 0.264 (p>0.05) meaning there was no correlation between attitude and compliance.
