Abstract

Adherence to iron (Fe) tablet supplementation is one of the key preventive strategies for anemia, which is a common health problem during pregnancy. Knowing about anemia is a crucial part of supporting adherence of Fe tablet intake. This study aimed to identify the corellation between pregnant women’s knowledge about anemia and their adherence to consuming Fe tablets. A descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach was applied in this study. This sample was involving 84 respondents chosen through consecutive sampling. Findings revealed that 74 respondents (88.1%) demonstrated good knowledge, while 43 respondents (51.2%) were non-compliant in taking Fe tablets. The Spearman rank correlation test produced r = 0.319 and p = 0.003 (< 0.05), indicating a weak but positive correlation between knowledge level and Fe tablet adherence among pregnant women at the Kolongan Public Health Center. It is suggested that the health center strengthen education and counseling for pregnant women through maternal classes and consistent monitoring to increase compliance with iron supplementation.
