Abstract :

Anemia in pregnant women remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia and contributes to increased maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to analyze the association between iron supplement tablet administration and the improvement of Hb levels among pregnant women at the Kampung Sawah Health Center, Tanjung Karang Timur Subdistrict, Bandar Lampung City. A cross-sectional study design was employed. The sample consisted of 66 pregnant women, including 33 with anemia and 33 without anemia, selected from prenatal care classes. Initial Hb data were obtained from medical records, followed by Hb examination after to iron supplement tablet administration. Data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test. The findings indicate that the administration of iron supplement tablets significantly contributes to an increase in Hb levels among pregnant women. The mean Hb level increased from 11.02 g/dL to 11.40 g/dL after to iron supplement tablet administration, with the paired sample t-test showing a statistically significant result (p < 0.0001).
