Anemia is usually considered normal during pregnancy even though it has the potential to be serious and dangerous to the pregnancy because it can cause bleeding, shock, abortion, premature rupture of membranes, and post-partum bleeding. Minimal knowledge about balanced nutrition and foods rich in iron is one of the factors that causes anemia due to lack of nutritional intake. Pregnant women often experience iron deficiency so it is important to consume iron tablets as a substitute for the mother's needs, however, there are many obstacles faced by pregnant women in maintaining compliance with iron tablet consumption. Therefore, it is important to provide education about compliance with iron consumption in pregnant women. The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of health education via YouTube regarding compliance with the consumption of Fe tablets among pregnant women at the Jatiraya Health Center and the Perumnas Health Center in Kendari City. This research method is experimental with a pre-experimental study research design with Pretest and Posttest one group design. This design only uses one group, namely the experimental group without a control group. The total sample in this study was 56 people. The sampling technique in this research used the total sampling method. The results of the Paired Samples T Test statistical test showed that there were differences in knowledge (P= 0.000 < 0.05) and actions (P= 0.000 < 0.05) in pregnant women before and after being given the intervention.

Health is a fundamental right that every citizen in Indonesia has and every level of society has the same right to the health services. This study aims to determine the relationship between geographical factors (distance, travel time and type of transportation) and economic factors, namely the economic ability to reach health services on the utilization of health service facilities in the Malino Highland. This research uses quantitative methods with a cross sectional approach which was carried out in July-August 2023 with a total of 114 heads of household in Dusun Balanglohe, Desa Kanreapia Village, Kecamatan Tombolo Pao, Kabupaten Gowa called Malino Highland. Data collection was carried out through surveys and analyzed bivariately. The research results show that the majority of households have not utilized health services in the last one year. Travel time and type of transportation are related to health service utilization. Meanwhile, distance, income and type of insurance have no relationship with health service utilization. The government and related stakeholders need to develop strategies to increase the accessibility of health services in the Malino highlands area. As a next step, further research can be conducted to explore other factors that may influence health service utilization, such as cultural factors, education, and community perceptions of health services.
