The results of the Chi square statistical test for the level of adherence with a p value of 0.001 ≤ α = 0.05 and paired t-test and independent tests for differences and increased knowledge of pregnant women. It was concluded that there was an effect of family-based education on adherence to consumption of Fe tablets in pregnant women (p value 0.001).
