Abstract

Anemia in pregnant women is an urgent health problem because it carries the risk of causing serious complications such as Low Birth Weight (LBW), bleeding during labor, premature birth, and even maternal and infant death. The high nutritional needs during pregnancy that are not balanced with adequate micronutrient intake are the main factors causing anemia. This study is important for the prevention and treatment of anemia in order to reduce the risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study aims to determine the level of anemia in pregnant women. The following is a version of the sentence that has been completed according to request. Data collection for this study was carried out on January 13, 2025 at the Kolaka Health Center using a quantitative descriptive study method and a retrospective approach. The sample in this study was 174 pregnant women who were selected using the total sampling technique. The data source used is secondary data in the form of the results of hemoglobin level examinations of pregnant women documented at the Health Center. The data collection instrument is in the form of medical record sheets/laboratory reports of hemoglobin level examinations. The data obtained were then classified based on the category of hemoglobin levels according to WHO standards, namely normal, mild anemia, and severe anemia. The results showed that out of 174 respondents, 104 respondents (59.8%) were in the normal category, 66 respondents (37.9%) had mild anemia, and 4 respondents (2.3%) had severe anemia. The mild anemia category is almost equivalent to the normal category, indicating that the prevalence of anemia is still quite high in pregnant women. Mild anemia is the most dominant form of anemia in this study, while severe anemia was found in relatively small numbers. The conclusion of this study is that anemia, especially mild anemia, is still a significant health problem in pregnant women in the Kolaka Health Center work area. This finding is the importance of early detection efforts, regular monitoring of hemoglobin levels, as well as nutritional interventions and health education to prevent more severe anemia and pregnancy complications that can accompany it.
