Faktor-faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Kejadian Anemia pada Ibu Hamil di PMB Ita Marlina

Abstract

The incidence of anemia in pregnant women can occur due to many factors, one of which is the age of the pregnant woman and the number of parities. Another factor is nutritional status. Nutritional status greatly influences the incidence of anemia in pregnancy, because the nutritional needs of pregnant women increase for the growth and development of the fetus. One of the nutritional status is determined by the upper arm circumference (LiLA).Anemia is a condition if the hemoglobin level is below 11g/dl or the hematocrit is less than 33%. The cut-off value for anemia in non-pregnant women is <12.0 g/dl and a hematocrit of 36%. Anemia occurs because the increase in blood cells decreases compared to the increase in blood plasma, resulting in blood dilution.This research is analytic in nature with a retrospective approach which was carried out at PMB Ita Marlina, in October 2022. The total population is 220 respondents with a sample of 77 respondents. Data analysis using chi-square.The results showed that there was a relationship between LiLA (p-value 0.000), age (p-value 0.000), and parity (p-value 0.023) with the incidence of anemia in PMB Ita Marlina.The conclusion obtained in this study is that there is a relationship between LiLA, age, and parity with the incidence of anemia in PMB Ita Marlina.
