IMPROVING HEALTH INFORMATION OF PREGNANT MOTHERS WITH THE ISLAMIC FAMILY APPROACH THROUGH THE RECOGNITION OF ANEMIA SIGNS

Abstract

The most direct cause of maternal death is bleeding. Bleeding is divided into two categories, namely antepartum bleeding (vaginal bleeding at 28 weeks of gestation or more) and postpartum hemorrhage (bleeding that occurs within the first 24 hours after delivery). Bleeding occurs due to lack of supervision and examination during pregnancy, including prevention of anemia. Mothers who suffer from anemia in pregnancy will be very susceptible to infection and bleeding, even if the bleeding is only a little. Experience has shown that maternal death due to bleeding is more common in women who suffer from anemia. Anemia often occurs due to iron deficiency because pregnant women have a twofold increase in iron requirements due to an increase in blood volume without expansion of plasma volume, to meet the needs of the mother (prevent blood loss during childbirth) and fetal growth. Anemia is a condition where the hemoglobin level (>11(gr/L)2), hematocrit (>0.33gr/L), and red blood cell count are below normal values. Anemia in pregnancy is the biggest public health problem that occurs worldwide, especially in developing countries, in low socio-economic groups, and has a very large influence on the quality of human resources. Anemia in pregnancy is called "Potential Danger to Mother and Child" (potentially harmful to mother and child), which contributes to the increasing prevalence of maternal mortality and morbidity. As for infants, it can increase the risk of infant morbidity and mortality, as well as increase the incidence of LBW. Given this, the problem of anemia should be a serious concern for all relevant parties, especially in health services on the front lines. So it is necessary to provide information about anemia signs, namely by providing information and giving Fe tablets, prayers for the good of the mother and fetus, stress management and consumption of green vegetables. Physical and psychological changes are sometimes quite disturbing daily life. Some pregnant women have difficulty regulating emotions because of the changes that occur. Especially the changes in the first trimester of pregnancy. Family support for pregnant women is very important and has many benefits. Not only from husbands, but also from parents, in-laws, sisters, brothers, relatives, or even close friends.
