“…A number of factors can be attributed to non-compliance with IFA supplementation. Multiple studies evaluating factors in uencing IFA supplementation found that knowledge of IFA supplementation, number of antenatal care visits, birth order, economic status, educational level and age of pregnant women play important roles in compliance to IFA supplementation in India [13,15]. Hence, it is important to monitor and evaluate the compliance status of IFA consumption in any country where there is high prevalence of anemia among women, especially among pregnant women.…”

Background: Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) supplementation is one of the highly recommended strategies to tackle anemia. Under the backdrop of high anemia prevalence, this study examines the level of non- compliance with IFA supplementation among pregnant women in India. Methods: The analysis is conducted on a sample of 151171 women, who bought or received IFA tablets/syrup during pregnancy, and was surveyed during the National Family Health Survey-5 (2019-21). Descriptive statistics and conditional probabilities are calculated to examine the initiation and attainment of different levels of IFA consumption across selected background variables. Binary logistic regressions are employed to understand the influence of socio-economic factors on non-compliance of IFA supplementation for minimum 100 days and 180 days. Results: While the probability of initiation of IFA tablets is fairly high among pregnant women in India, the probability of consuming at least 100 tablets declines drastically for pregnant women irrespective of their socio-economic profile. The chances of not taking IFA for at least 100 days and at least 180 days are lesser by 21% and 15% for urban with respect to rural women. Age is not a significant parameter. When compared to the richest, the poorest face 1.6 times higher odds for not consuming IFA for at least 100 days, and 1.96 times higher in case of non-compliance for minimum 180 days. Women with no education shows 1.73 and 1.46-times higher likelihood do be non-compliant with both criteria as compared to those with higher education. Those who have received less than four ANCs are at least two times more likely to be non-compliant. Risk of non-compliance is lesser among women with lower birth order as compared to pregnancies of third and higher birth order. Conclusion: Involvement of community health workers in awareness generation and close monitoring of IFA consumption behaviour ensuring compliance for a minimum of 180 days, might improve the scenario.

In the context of antenatal care, adherence to routine medications is vital for preventing adverse pregnancy outcomes and ensuring maternal and fetal health. Non-adherence can lead to a range of complications, including maternal anemia, preterm birth, low birth weight, and congenital abnormalities. This study aimed to assess adherence to routine antenatal medications and its determinant among pregnant women in selected primary health centers in Ogbomoso North, Oyo state. A descriptive research design was used in this study and convenience sampling technique was used to recruit 136 respondents. A self-structured questionnaire of reliability index 0.768 was used as instrument of data collection. The responses were analysed with descriptive statistic (frequency and table) using SPSS Version 23 and the hypothesis stated was tested using inferential statistics (chi square). The results showed that the study concluded that majority of the respondents 93(68.4%) have good perception and 43(31.6%) have poor perception towards the adherence of routine antenatal medications. Majority of the respondents 76(55.9%) has low level of adherence and 60(44.1%) has high level of adherence to routine antenatal medications. The determinants of adherence to routine antenatal medications are accessibility of routine antenatal medications 113(83.1%), experience in previous pregnancies 97(71.3%), and support from family or partner 84(61.8%). There is significant relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and adherence to routine antenatal medications among pregnant women in selected primary health centers (religion (0.000), level of education (0.014), ethnicity (0.000), marital status (0.001), employment status (0.006), household income (0.038) and number of pregnancies (0.000)]. Also, there is no significant relationship between determinants (accessibility and availability) and adherence to routine antenatal medications among pregnant women in selected primary health. In conclusion, there should be regular antenatal educations on the routine antenatal medications during the antenatal visits.
