ABSTRACT
Background: Anemia is a health problem in Indonesia. The Basic Health
Research resulted in 2013 showed that the anemia case in pregnant women in
Indonesia was 37.1%. Based on data from the Health Office, Palu City, anemia in
pregnant women at the Tawaeli Public Health Center is relatively high. In 2020,
there were 125 pregnant women anemic from 307 pregnant women. Therefore, it
is considered necessary to evaluate compliance with iron and folic acid (IFA)
consumption to reduce the risk of anemia in pregnant women.
Research Objectives: This research objective is to determine the factors that
influence the level of adherence to Fe and folic acid consumption in pregnant
women at the Tawaeli Public Health Center.
Research Methods: This research was quantitative with an observational
analytical research design and a cross-sectional approach. The samples were
taken through the purposive sampling technique. According to the inclusion and
exclusion criteria, the number of samples was 58 pregnant women. The research
instrument used a questionnaire and was analyzed through the SPSS chi-square
test.
Research Results: The results show that the compliance of pregnant women in
taking IFA tablets is obtained by 44 people (76%). The level of knowledge is less
than 43 people (74%). 55 pregnant women (95%) have a positive attitude. 100%
for good health services, and 56% is less family support. The results of the
statistical analysis of the chi-square test obtained factors that have a relationship
with compliance, namely the level of knowledge and family support with a P-value
= 0.02 and an R-value = 9.7.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between the level of compliance with the level
of knowledge and family support of pregnant women in consuming IFA tablets
