BACKGROUND: Distance education and mobile health (mHealth) usage are yet to be researched widely, particularly in terms of anemia prevention in Indonesian pregnant women. This study aimed to analyze the daily educational messages’ effectiveness on anemia prevention behavior and knowledge, in pregnant women in Surakarta City, Indonesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted in two Primary Healthcare Centers in Surakarta in April-September 2022. The target population was pregnant women who conducted Antenatal Care at Primary healthcare Center. The sample was put into two randomized groups consisting of pregnant women in the first and second trimesters: intervention and control. This study included a total of 44 participants. The intervention was a daily educational message sent through WhatsApp for seven weeks. Measurement of anemia prevention knowledge, anemia prevention diet, and Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) tablet consumption was collected at the baseline and follow-up. RESULTS: The intervention resulted in a significant difference ( P value .003) in mean IFA tablet consumption (last 42 days), which was higher in the intervention group (39.54 ± 3.94) than in the control group (34.86 ± 8.13). It has a significant effect on knowledge ( P value .007) as well. However, no significant difference in the anemia prevention diet between groups at the end of the intervention. CONCLUSIONS: The daily educational message improves pregnant women's knowledge and IFA tablet consumption. Conducting a full-scale randomized controlled trial is feasible to confirm the effectiveness of daily educational messages as a pregnant anemia prevention program, considering the needed improvements.

“…The incidence of anemia is not only due to lack of food intake, but the incidence of anemia also has a relationship with helminthic [19]; [8]; [26]. However, nutrition education programs are needed to prevent anemia [27]. Health promotion is one of the countermeasures of nutritional and health problems such as infectious diseases and consumption of nutritious food, public knowledge about the signs and symptoms of intestinal worms as well as prevention and mode of transmission.…”

Anemia in adolescent girls is characterized by Hb levels < 12 g / dl. Anemia is influenced by various factors including nutritional intake, and knowledge. Anemia results in learning concentration, fatigue, to decreased learning achievement. One of them overcomes this problem by giving Fe supplements and nutrition education. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nutrition education using e-booklets on hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. The design of this study was a Quasi-Experiment with a comparison group. The study was divided into the treatment group and the comparison group. Providing nutrition education using e-booklets and Fe supplements for 3 weeks in the treatment group. The number of respondents was 36 in the treatment group and the comparison in the comparison group. The results of the t-dependent test showed an average difference in the two groups with a p-value of  0.05. The average hemoglobin level of the treatment group was 0.411 g / dl and the comparison group was 0.2 g / dl. The results of the t-independent test showed no difference in the average hemoglobin levels of the treatment group with a comparison group with a p-value of  0.05. The average difference in hemoglobin levels in the treatment group with the comparison group was 0.211 g / dl. Fe supplements and nutrition education with e-booklets can increase Hb levels.

Background: Iron deficiency anemia and low adherence to take iron tablets are prevalent issues among teenage school girls in Indonesia. To address this concern and encourage regular iron supplementation, the public health office of Sukoharjo Central Java Indonesia introduced a pil-pintar program, colloquially known as the "smart pill." Aims: This study aimed to measure the increase in hemoglobin (Hb) levels and its correlation with nutrient intake related to Hb synthesis following the pil-pintar intervention. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-posttest approach was performed involving 49 school teenage girls aged 12-15 years in a public school in Sukoharjo, Indonesia. Each student was given an iron sugar coat tablet containing 182 mg of ferrous-fumarate (equivalent to 60 mg elemental iron) and 0.400 mg of folic acid per tablet, called pil-pintar, once a week for 12 weeks. Results: A significant decrease in anemia prevalence by 24.4% (p=0.001) and a notable increase in Hb levels by 1.0 mg/dL (p=0.001) were observed in the 12 weeks of intervention. However, the study found no association between the nutrient intakes related to Hb production and the resulting Hb levels. Conclusion: The pil-pintar program effectively improved the hemoglobin levels of anemic teenage girls in the Sukoharjo district, Indonesia.
