Abstract
Introduction: Anemia during pregnancy has an impact on pregnancy and fetus. The low status of prenatal iron in pregnant women may also affect neurodevelopment and behavior in children. Many pregnant women still do not have good behaviors in preventing anemia. The objective of the study was to analyze the effect of Health Promotion Model and Self Determination Theory Based Intervention on anemia prevention behaviors and haemoglobin level in pregnant mothers.Methods: This research was a quasi-experiment research with a pre- and post-test using a control group design. The samples were 30 pregnant women who did antenatal care in Community Health Center of Tanah Kali Kedinding Surabaya. Data were collected using questionnaires, food recall in 2x24 hours, and haemoglobin level examination using the cyanmethaemoglobin method.Results: There was an effect of Health Promotion Model and Self Determination Theory Based Intervention to anemia prevention behaviors and haemoglobin level (p = 0.013; p = 0.040).Conclusion: Health Promotion Model and Self Determination Theory Based Intervention improve the anemia prevention behaviors and haemoglobin level. Health workers can use Health Promotion Model and Self Determination Theory Based Intervention to improve anemia prevention behavior
Highlights
Anemia during pregnancy has an impact on pregnancy and fetus
Data were collected using questionnaires that consist of adherence to iron supplementation and behavioral prevention of intestinal worms, food recall in 2x24 hours, and laboratory test for hemoglobin level
The results of the t-test showed that p value 0.004 < 0.05, indicating that there were significant differences of anemia prevention behavior between before and after the intervention
Summary
Pregnant women who have low iron status can affect the development of nerves and behavior of children. Low self-determination in pregnant women will affect the commitment to prevent anemia. The objective of the study was to analyze the effect of Health Promotion Model and Self Determination Theory Based Intervention on anemia prevention behaviors and hemoglobin level in pregnant mothers. Physical and psychological changes experienced by mothers during pregnancy will have an impact on their ability to make efforts to prevent anemia, so a behavioral model for prevention of anemia with self-determination is needed that forms a high commitment. Various health promotion efforts that have been carried out are expected to provide behavioral changes in pregnant mothers will last longer, if they are committed and have high intrinsic motivation from pregnant women themselves
