Abstract

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) states that approximately 40% of maternal mortality rates (MMR) are caused by iron deficiency anemia, which leads to bleeding. Data from the 2022 Aceh Provincial Health Profile indicate that the proportion of pregnant women receiving iron tablets (90 tablets) is 92.70% in Lhokseumawe City, with the lowest coverage of 49.03% in Simeulue Regency; the provincial average is 73.20%. The low coverage of iron tablets in Aceh Province is attributable to an overestimation of the target population of pregnant women based on actual field data. Another possible cause is the taste of the iron tablets, which can cause nausea and vomiting (Aceh Health Profile, 2022). Objective: To determine the relationship between pregnant women's knowledge and adherence to iron tablet consumption at the Nurbaiti PMB in North Aceh Regency in 2024. Method: This study used a cross-sectional approach. Data analysis employed the chi-square test. This study was conducted at the Siti Fujana BPM in East Aceh Regency. The population comprised 30 individuals; the sampling technique was total sampling. Results: The majority of respondents had insufficient knowledge and did not exclusively breastfeed (20 respondents (52.6%), while the majority of respondents had good knowledge and solely breastfed (10 respondents (26.3%). Conclusion: The majority of pregnant women had good knowledge (13 respondents (43.3%), and 17 respondents (56.7%) had poor knowledge. The majority of pregnant women did not experience anemia (13 respondents (43.3%), and 18 respondents (60.0%) experienced anemia. There was a significant association between maternal knowledge, adherence to iron tablet use, and anemia incidence (p=0.013).
