Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy remains a public health issue that seriously impacts the health of mothers and fetuses. One preventive measure for anemia is the administration of Iron-Folic Acid Tablets (IFAT), but compliance with IFAT consumption among pregnant women remains a challenge. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing Iron-Folic Acid Tablet consumption among pregnant women in their second trimester. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional observational design. The sample consisted of 30 pregnant women in their second trimester, selected using total sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-square/Fisher Exact test), and multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression. The results showed that 66.7% of pregnant women consumed TTD regularly, while 33.3% did not. Multivariate analysis showed that there were no factors that had a statistically significant effect on the regularity of TTD consumption, including age, education level, occupation, trimester of pregnancy, parity, or knowledge about the benefits of TTD (p > 0.05). These findings indicate that TTD consumption behavior is multifactorial and not solely determined by individual characteristics. The conclusion of this study states that improving TTD consumption compliance requires a comprehensive approach that includes strengthening the quality of antenatal counseling, family support, and continuous assistance from health workers to prevent anemia in pregnant women.
