<![CDATA[Introduction: To address micronutrient deficiencies in pregnant women, the WHO, in updating its 2020 Antenatal Care (ANC) guidelines, recommends the provision of Multi-Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) to replace Iron Tablets (TTD). However, compliance with MMS consumption in pregnant women is still low. The level of education, knowledge, and family support are factors that influence the compliance of pregnant women in consuming MMS. Objective: To determine the relationship between the level of education, knowledge, and family support with compliance with MMS consumption in pregnant women in the Basarang Community Health Center working area. Materials and Methods: This study is an analytical observational study using a cross-sectional design. The sample was obtained using a total sampling technique of 96 pregnant women. The research instrument used a questionnaire on compliance, knowledge, and family support. Data analysis used the chi-square test. Results: Based on the results of the study, the majority of pregnant women were highly educated (62.5%) and had good knowledge (67.7%), lacked family support for pregnant women (68.8%), and were not compliant in consuming MMS (58.3%). After statistical tests were conducted, the results showed a significant relationship between education level and compliance with MMS consumption (p-value = 0.000), knowledge with compliance with MMS consumption (p-value = 0.009), and family support with compliance with MMS consumption (p-value = 0.004). Conclusion: Compliance of pregnant women in consuming MMS is still relatively low, and there is a relationship between education level, knowledge, and family support with compliance with MMS consumption in pregnant women in the Basarang Community Health Center work area. Therefore, to increase compliance with MMS consumption, it is recommended for families to remind pregnant women to consume MMS by collaborating with health workers to get education regarding the importance of MMS.]]>
