Abstract

ABSTRAK

Berdasarkan informasi dari WHO, tingkat anemia di kalangan ibu hamil di seluruh dunia rata-rata mencapai 14%. Di negara-negara maju, angka ini mencapai 56%, sedangkan di negara-negara berkembang berkisar antara 35% hingga 75%. Anemia merupakan isu serius karena dapat berdampak pada pertumbuhan janin, kelahiran prematur, bahkan kematian pada ibu dan bayi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami insiden anemia pada ibu hamil dengan mempertimbangkan kepatuhan dalam mengonsumsi tablet Fe. Penelitian dilakukan di Puskesmas Dadok Tunggul Hitam Padang dari tanggal 20 Mei hingga 01 Juli 2024. Desain penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Populasi yang diteliti meliputi semua ibu hamil yang mengunjungi Puskesmas Dadok Tunggul Hitam, yaitu sebanyak 398 orang, dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 75 orang. Pengolahan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji Chi-Square. Dari hasil penelitian, lebih dari setengah responden, yaitu 51 (68%) ibu hamil, tidak mematuhi konsumsi Fe. Ada 45 (60%) ibu hamil yang mengalami anemia. Melalui uji statistik chi-square, didapatkan ada keterkaitan antara ketidakpatuhan dalam mengonsumsi Fe dan kejadian anemia dengan p-value=0,006. Berdasarkan temuan penelitian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara ketidakpatuhan konsumsi Fe dan kejadian anemia pada ibu hamil. Disarankan kepada pihak puskesmas untuk meningkatkan peranan tenaga kesehatan dalam pelaksanaan pemantauan kesehatan selama kehamilan dan diharapkan dapat meningkatkan penyuluhan serta memberikan informasi mengenai pemberian tablet Fe.

ABSTRACT

According to information from the WHO, the rate of anemia among pregnant women worldwide averages 14%. In developed countries, this figure reaches 56%, while in developing countries it ranges from 35% to 75%. Anemia is a serious issue because it can affect fetal growth, lead to premature birth, and even cause death in mothers and infants. This study aims to understand the incidence of anemia in pregnant women while considering compliance with taking iron tablets. The study was conducted at Dadok Tunggul Hitam Health Center in Padang from May 20 to July 1, 2024. This study employs a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population studied includes all pregnant women visiting Dadok Tunggul Hitam Health Center, totaling 398 individuals, with a sample size of 75 people. Data processing was conducted using the Chi-Square test. From the research results, more than half of the respondents, namely 51 (68%) pregnant women, did not comply with Fe consumption. There were 45 (60%) pregnant women who experienced anemia. Through the chi-square statistical test, it was found that there is a relationship between noncompliance in consuming Fe and the incidence of anemia with a p-value=0.006. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between noncompliance with Fe consumption and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. It is recommended that health centers increase the role of healthcare workers in monitoring health during pregnancy and are expected to enhance counseling as well as provide information regarding the administration of Fe tablets.
