“…The effectiveness of any intervention which aims at improving the nutritional status of a population depends on a number of variables, including the delivery system, the recipients' compliance, as well as the characteristics of the target population [34]. Food fortification remains a promising means of addressing micronutrient deficiencies, particularly for infants and young children.…”

“…There are three categories of the most commonly used food vehicles employed for this purpose: staple food items (rice, oils and wheat), condiments (fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar) and processed commercial food items (infant complementary foods, dairy products and noodles) [32]. The effectiveness of any intervention that seeks to improve the nutritional status of a target population depends upon several factors, including the delivery system, the recipients' compliance and the perceived benefits [33,34]. Iron fortification of different food vehicles has been successfully used to deliver iron to large segments of the population, including flours (in Venezuela), fish sauce (in Vietnam), soy sauce (in China) and rice (in the Philippines) [31].…”

Iron deficiency is one of the most widespread nutritional disorders in both developing and industrialized countries, making it a global public health concern. Anemia, mainly due to iron deficiency, affects one third of the world's population and is concentrated in women and children below 5 years of age. Iron deficiency anemia has a profound impact on human health and productivity, and the effects of iron deficiency are especially pronounced in the first 1,000 days of life. This critical window of time sets the stage for an individual's future physiological and cognitive health, underscoring the importance of addressing iron deficiency in infants and young children. This review focuses on the use of fortified foods as a cost-effective tool for addressing iron deficiency in infants and young children in the Philippines.

“…Salah satu faktor kunci keberhasilan program IFAS di Nikaragua dan Thailand adalah tersedianya suplai tablet IFA dalam jumlah yang cukup (Sanghvi 2009). Namun, studi menunjukkan bahwa ibu hamil terkadang tidak diberikan jumlah tablet yang cukup (Risonar et al 2009;Schultink et al 1993;Titaley et al 2010). Dari studi kualitatif di Jawa Barat, ditemukan bahwa beberapa ibu memang menerima tablet IFA setiap kali melakukan ANC, namun karena jumlah yang diterima bervariasi (antara 15-30 tablet) tidak semua ibu mendapatkan total minimal 90 tablet IFA selama kehamilan (Titaley et al 2010).…”

ABSTRACT This review aims at compiling and summarizing findings of published studies that assessed factors associated with compliance of women to take recommended iron tablets during pregnancy. The review is done in 10 published studies (8 are 2002— 2010 publications and 2 are 1993—1994 publications) indexed in Pubmed with the above objective. Low utilization of antenatal care/ANC services is found to be associated with low compliance as it prevents the women to receive recommended number of the iron tablets as well as decrease the opportunity of women to have encouragement from health staff to take the tablets. Supply of tablets becomes the issue since not all women receiving 30 tablets/ANC visits as recommended. Studies on influence of side-effects of taking the tablets to compliance show inconclusive findings. Some studies found the effect is very minimal, and can be managed appropriately especially among more educated women and among women with adequate counseling. Studies also indicated that support from family is important to reduce possibility of pregnant women forgot to take the tablets, the other major factor of the low compliance. Quality of counseling, e.g. clarity of the messages, is associated with compliance. In conclusion, improving support from ANC provider (such as sufficient tablet supply, clear message on the tablets benefits) and support from family may contribute to better compliance of women towards maternal iron supplementation. Keywords: compliance, iron supplementation, pregnancy ABSTRAK Review ini bertujuan mengumpulkan temuan studi yang mengukur faktor yang berhubungan dengan kepatuhan ibu dalam mengonsumsi tablet besi selama kehamilan. Review dilakukan pada 10 studi (8 publikasi tahun 2002—2010, 2 publikasi tahun 1993—1994) yang terdaftar di Pubmed. Rendahnya partisipasi ibu hamil untuk memeriksakan kehamilannya/ANC berhubungan dengan rendahnya kepatuhan konsumsi tablet besi. Rendahnya kunjungan ANC membuat ibu tidak mendapat tablet dengan jumlah yang cukup dan mengurangi kesempatan ibu untuk mendapat dukungan dari petugas ANC untuk minum tablet besi sesuai anjuran. Suplai tablet juga menjadi penting karena tidak semua ibu mendapat 30 tablet pada setiap kunjungan ANC seperti seharusnya. Pengaruh efek samping konsumsi tablet besi terhadap kepatuhan ibu belum dapat disimpulkan. Pengaruh efek samping ditemukan sangat kecil dan dapat diatasi dengan baik terutama pada ibu dengan pendidikan yang lebih tinggi atau yang mendapat penyuluhan yang cukup. Studi juga menemukan bahwa dukungan keluarga sangat penting untuk membantu mengingatkan ibu untuk mengonsumsi tablet besi. Hal ini menjadi penting karena salah satu faktor utama rendahnya kepatuhan ibu adalah karena ibu lupa mengonsumsi tablet tersebut. Kualitas penyuluhan, misalnya kejelasan pesan dari petugas kesehatan, berhubungan dengan kepatuhan ibu. Sebagai kesimpulan, dukungan yang lebih baik pada ibu, baik dari petugas ANC (misalnya pemberian tablet besi dalam jumlah yang cukup, kejelasan pesan tentang manfaat tablet) maupun keluarga dapat berkontribusi pada kepatuhan yang lebih baik pada ibu hamil dalam mengonsumsi tablet besi. Kata kunci: kehamilan, kepatuhan, suplementasi tablet besi

“…Participants were controlled for strength of iron supplementation at 100 mg. 33 In a study conducted in Philippines, the percentage of women consuming iron and folic acid tablets in control group was 57.4% and in experimental group 79.2% after intervention. 21 However, the follow up of the participants was conducted for 180 days in that study, compared to 100 days in this study [considering actual follow up cases only]. The results of the study conducted in New Delhi, showed that the completion rate of participants who availed oral iron group, was 67.5% and parenteral iron group was 94.3% indicating relatively better acceptance for parenteral iron supplementation, a form of direct observance.…”

“…In this study 1180 pregnant women were given iron/folic acid tablets daily through the redesigned ISDS in the experimental areas and the existing ISDS in the control areas. 21 The impact of a weekly iron-folic acid supplement delivered with social marketing to Cambodian women in 2005, revealed that supplementation was increasingly effective among women of higher socioeconomic status (SES). Among higher SES schoolgirls, 58% took the supplements, compared with 49% for lower SES.…”
