ABSTRACT

The prevalence of anemic pregnant women according to WHO (2021) is 42.8%

or 100 people per 1000 pregnant women. Based on data from the Indonesian Basic
Health Research (RISKESDAS) (2018) the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women
in Indonesia is 48.9%. Based on data from the Muaro Jambi District health office, the
highest incidence of anemia in pregnant women (2022) occurred in the Sengeti
Health Center work area with a total of 134 people, while the Muara Kumpeh Health
Center was in second place with 124 people.
research is a quantitative study using a quasy experimental pre-post test design
with two groups, which aims to find out effectiveness of giving red guava juice and
orange juice to increasing hemoglobin in pregnant women . The population in this
study were 30 pregnant women in the working area of the Muara Kumpeh Health
Center in January - February 2023. The sample is taken as a total population . The
data analysis method used was univariate and bivariate with a significance level of
95% (alpha 0.05) using an independent t-test statistic.
Based on the results of the study, the average value of the respondent's
hemoglobin level before being given red guava juice was 9.02 g/dl and after being
given red guava juice was 11.33 g/dl. The average hemoglobin level of respondents
who experienced anemia before being given orange juice was 8.90 g/dl and after
being given orange juice was 10.25 g/dl. Red guava juice has a p-value of 0.000 and
orange juice has a p-value of 0.000.
The results of the study concluded that giving red guava juice was 5.4 times
more effective than orange juice in increasing hemoglobin levels of pregnant women.
It is hoped that the Muara Kumprh Health Center can educate pregnant women about
consuming red guava juice at least once a week. , so that there are no pregnant
women who experience anemia.
