Aim: we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a designed educational intervention on the rate of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) in pregnant women.
Methods: This two arms parallel randomized clinical trial was performed in 2020 in Khoy, West Azerbaijan, Iran. The research population included all pregnant women with IDA. Laboratory test used for determining the IDA. A sample of 200 people was selected by simple random method. Using the quadruple block allocation method, the samples were divided into two groups of intervention (n=100) and control (n=100). The control group received the same usual care. The intervention group, received a designed program including 4 training sessions each for 45 to 55 minutes during 4 weeks. Each training sessions included lectures, educational videos, questions and answers, small group discussions, and individual counseling. Descriptive and inferential statistical tests were used to analyze the data using SPSS version 16.
Findings: The results showed that the age, education, employment status, disease status, and pregnancy age of the participants in the two groups were homogeneous (p>0.05). Also, the results of the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests showed the effect of the designed program on amount of IDA in participants and the effect of the intervention in reducing IDA in participants with diabetes (p<0.05). .
Conclusion: our results indicated the effectiveness of the designed educational intervention reduce IDA in pregnant women. We recommend to implement the program in healthcare centers to improve the health level of pregnant women and prevent IDA.
