<![CDATA[ABSTRACT During pregnancy, adequate nutritional intake is essential; however, an imbalance between plasma volume and red blood cells often leads to anemia. One of the main preventive strategies is the consumption of iron supplements, yet adherence among pregnant women remains suboptimal. The role of healthcare workers as educators, communicators, motivators, facilitators, and counselors is an important reinforcing factor in improving adherence. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the role of healthcare workers and pregnant women’s adherence to iron supplement intake in the working area of Selabatu Community Health Center (UPTD Puskesmas), Sukabumi City. This study used a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all pregnant women who received iron supplements in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Selabatu, with a total sample of 67 respondents selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a healthcare worker role questionnaire (Guttman scale) and the MMAS-8 adherence questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. The results showed that among respondents with active healthcare worker involvement, the majority were adherent to iron supplement intake (44 respondents; 84.6%), while 8 respondents (15.4%) were non-adherent. In contrast, all respondents without healthcare worker involvement were non-adherent (15 respondents; 100%). The Chi-Square test showed a p-value of 0.001 (p 0.05), indicating a significant relationship. There is a significant relationship between the role of healthcare workers and pregnant women’s adherence to iron supplement intake in the working area of Selabatu Community Health Center (UPTD Puskesmas), Sukabumi City.
