Background: Anaemia in pregnancy and lactation period has detrimental effects on maternal and child health. Objective of this study was to assess knowledge of lactating mothers regarding anaemia and its preventive measures before and after educational intervention.Methods: The interventional study conducted in purposively selected lactating mothers attending the outpatient department of obstetrics and gynecology. Hospital ethical committee permission was obtained. After taking informed consent 100 lactating mothers were selected by systemic random sampling methods. Knowledge of lactating mothers regarding anaemia and its preventive measures was assessed by pre-designed, pre-tested and semi structured questionnaire. Health education for 30 minutes was given to selected lactating mothers. Knowledge of pregnant women for the same was assessed after health education. Thus, collected data was analyzed using Epi info 7.Results: Awareness among lactating mothers regarding causes, signs and symptoms of anemia and dietary sources of iron was 41%, 26% and 5% respectively which was significantly increased to 73%, 56% and 42% respectively after health education. Awareness among lactating mothers regarding factors which inhibit and increase iron absorption was 31% and 22% respectively which was significantly increased to 80% and 65% respectively after health education. Out of 100 lactating mothers only 24% were aware regarding treatment of anemia.Conclusions: Lack of awareness among lactating mothers regarding anemia and its preventive measure should be addressed by health education during hospital visits.

Kasus anemia di Indonesia masih cukup tinggi hasil menunjukkan bahwa angka prevalensi anemia secara nasional pada semua kelompok umur adalah 21,70 %. Sedangkan prevalensi anemia di Provinsi Jawa Timur sebesar 5,8 %. Anemia adalah kondisi penyakit dimana jumlah sel darah merah lebih rendah dari jumlah normal. Kondisi ini biasa disebut sebagai kekurangan darah. Anemia dapat dideteksi dengan melakukan pengukuran kadar hemoglobin (Hb) menggunakan metode POCT (Point of Care Testing). Metode POCT merupakan metode yang dilakukan untuk pemeriksaan sederhana dengan menggunakan sampel dalam jumlah sedikit, mudah, cepat serta efektif dilakukan di daerah-daerah dengan jumlah fasilitas kesehatan seperti pusat kesehatan masyarakat (puskesmas), rumah sakit yang relatif sedikit khususnya di lokasi pengabdian masyarakat di Desa Sumbersono, Mojokerto. Jenis metode yang digunakan adalah observasional analitik. Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk skrining (pemeriksaan) kadar hemoglobin sebagai deteksi dini penyakit anemia dengan metode POCT, mengetahui hubungan antara umur, pendidikan, pekerjaan terhadap kejadian anemia serta sebagai upaya preventif (pencegahan) untuk meminimalisir penyakit anemia. Hasil menunjukkan dari 48 reponden (laki-laki 11 orang), (perempuan 37 orang) bahwa kejadian anemia pada perempuan 40 % lebih besar dibandingkan dengan laki-laki 6 %.

POCT, Faktor AnemiaAbstract Cases of anemia in Indonesia are still quite high. The results show that the national prevalence of anemia in all age group is 21.70%. While the prevalence of anemia in East Java Province was 5.8%. Anemia is a disease because the number of red blood cells is lower than the normal number. This condition is commonly referred to blood deficiency. Anemia can be detected by measuring of hemoglobin (Hb) levels using the POCT (Point of Care Testing) method.

The type of method used is analytic observational. This community service activities aims to screening (examining) hemoglobin levels as an early detection of anemia using the POCT method, to find out the relationship between age, education, work and anemic events and as a preventive measure (prevention) to minimize anemia. The results showed there were 48 population, while (11 men), (37 women) that the incidence of anemia in women was 40% greater than 6% men. The highest number of anemia cases occurred at age ≥ 60 is 36.36% compared to other age groups. The highest number of anemia occurrences with 46% of Farmers' work compared to other occupations.

“…Educational interventions meant to increase the knowledge of patients with chronic diseases can in turn will help to control, prevent and decrease the number of hospitalizations. Nevertheless, a recently published interventional study among pregnant women shows that Single educational interventional training for 45 minutes increased baseline knowledge regarding causes, signs and symptoms of anemia and dietary sources of iron from 21%, 23% and 40% to 64%, 66% and 72% respectively after the intervention (Nimbalkar et al, 2017). Self -care stimulus is emphasized to prevent anemia in antenatal women, reproductive women and adolescent girls.…”

In India anemia is a common problem among Antenatal Women. In order to decrease maternal mortality, it is important to create knowledge among antenatal women. Varied instruments have been used to assess knowledge on anemia. However, there is a shortage for validated instruments in India for assessing anemia knowledge. The aim of present study is to develop a reliable and valid questionnaire to assess the knowledge of anemia to be used in antenatal women, reproductive women and adolescent girls. Before pretest researchers measured face validity and construct validity. The study was conducted in antenatal outpatient department of selected primary health centers at Thriuvallur district, Tamil Nadu, India.Subjects: Six nursing and one psychology expert, ten Village Health Nurse (VHN) and 100 antenatal mothers participated in the mission. During factorial analysis sampling adequacy was measured by using Kaiser- Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test (MSA) = 0.87 and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was X2 = 458.338 (p < 0.001). Varimax with Kaiser normalization rotation was performed and three factors were defined. The “general awareness” consists of four items (α = 0.79), anemia investigation and treatment component consists of six items (α = 0.81) and under diet and complication of anemia component, there is a five item factor (α = 0.89). In individual questions factor analysis, Cronbach’s alphas ranged from .84 and .86. 15.2% indicating total variance. There is no statistical significance between test and retest method. The questionnaire showed good validity and reliability (internal consistency and reproducibility), hence we can use this questionnaire among adults.
