Abstract

High rates of anemia is caused by many factors, including socio-economic conditions. Pregnant women often experience health problems related to anemia. Anemia in pregnant women has an impact on the quality of human resources and also causes premature abortion, low birth weight (LBW), and even maternal death during childbirth. This research is a type of descriptive research conducted in the working area of the Kemuningsari Kidul Health Center, Jember Regency. The total sample consisted of 15 pregnant women who experienced anemia. Data collection was carried out through interviews and documentation using a recall questionnaire. Data analysis in this study consisted of the accumulation of primary data in the form of descriptions or descriptions of the characteristics of pregnant women and socio-economic conditions. The research results showed that the majority of pregnant women who experienced anemia were aged between 20 and 30 years, namely 73.3%. It can be concluded that the incidence of anemia still occurs frequently in Kemuningsari Kidul. It is hoped that the Jember District Health Service will collaborate with midwives at each Community Health Center to provide education and knowledge regarding nutritional intake according to the Nutritional Adequacy Rate for pregnant women.
