THE CHARACTERISTICS OF PREGNANT WOMEN WHO HAVE HEMOGLOBIN LEVEL BELOW NORMAL

Abstract

Hemoglobin is a protein that is rich in iron. It has an affinity (combining
power) with oxygen and with oxygen it forms oxihemoglobin in red blood cells.
Based on the result of preliminary study conducted at the Ponkesdes
MoarahKlampis Bangkalan, data was obtained in September pas November 2018
with 47 pregnant women, with 23 (48.9%) cases of pregnant women. The purpose
of this study is to determine the characteristics of the human, parity and
nutritional patterns in pregnant women who have hemoglobin levels below
normal.
This research method used descriptive. Independent variables namely age,
parity, nutritional pattern and the dependent variable was the level of hemolgobin
below normal. The study population were all pregnant women who had a normal
hemoglobin level of 30 pregnant women. Data collection using questionnaires.
Processing data using a computer using editing, coding and tabulating
techniques. Data analysis using frequency distribution tables. This reseach has
been carried out ethical clearance test by KEPK STIKes Ngudia Husada Madura.
The results of the study at age showed <20 years (46.7%), at parity showed
primipara and multipara (43.3%) and nutritional patterns (50%).
It is expected that midwives will increase HE to pregnant women who have the
potential to have hemoglobin levels below normal by looking at age, parity and
nutritional patterns. Pregnant women pay more attention to nutritional patterns
because pregnant women who have below normal hemoglobin levels (anemia)
will have an effect on fetal growth and development.
