Optimizing The Ability To Manage Diet And Hb (Hemoglobin) Levels In Pregnant Women With A Family Empowerment Model

Abstract

              Introduction. The MMR (Maternal Mortality Rate) is a key measure of public health condition. The family is the fundamental unit of society, with various responsibilities and developments. All family members affect each other via contact and mutual support based on their responsibilities in achieving success. This study aims to determine how the family empowerment model affects the capacity to regulate food and boost hemoglobin levels. The family's structure and purpose determine the way family members interact. Method. The study design is a Quasi-Experimental Design with a single group pretest-posttest. In this study, purposive sampling was employed with 25 pregnant, 25 of whom received intervention. Data was analyzed using the paired t-test. Result. The findings revealed the effects of Hb, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors before and after family empowerment. In pregnant women with anemia, the frequency of Hb increased following family empowerment, whereas in pregnant women who were not anemic increased by 11 responses (73.3%). Following the session, 12 families (80%) reported having good knowledge. After the intervention, 12 families had a favorable attitude (80%), and 7 families had excellent behaviors (46.7). Conclusion. The study found that the family empowerment model improved the capacity of pregnant women with anemia to regulate their food and boost their hemoglobin (Hb).
