FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN KEJADIAN ANEMIA PADA IBU HAMIL DI KOTA BUKITTINGGI TAHUN 2024

Abstract

Anemia is a significant global health issue, with 4% of maternal deaths in developing countries
still related to anemia during pregnancy. According to the World Health Organization (WHO)
data from 2020, the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women remains high at 33%. In
Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women ranges from 40% to 50%. This study
aims to identify the factors associated with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the
working area of Rasimah Ahmad Health Center, Bukittinggi City, in 2024. The research employed
a descriptive analytic method with a cross-sectional approach and purposive sampling. Data
analysis included both univariate and bivariate analyses. The study found no significant
relationship between maternal age and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women, with a p-
value of 0.072. However, there was a significant relationship between nutritional status and the
incidence of anemia in pregnant women, with a p-value of 0.016. Additionally, there was a
significant relationship between compliance with iron tablet consumption and the incidence of
anemia, with a p-value of 0.021. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between
maternal knowledge about anemia and the incidence of anemia, with a p-value of 0.014. It can
be concluded that there is a significant relationship between nutritional status, compliance in
consuming fe tablets, and maternal knowledge regarding the incidence of anemia in pregnant
women at the Rasimah Ahmad Community Health Center, Bukittinggi City in 2024. It is hoped
that health workers at the community health center will be able to provide pregnant women with
education about risk factors during pregnancy and how to deal with it so as to minimize the
incidence of anemia by carrying out early detection to prevent anemia in pregnant women.
