Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to develop the American national institutes for social advancement education model to support anemia prevention through a digital approach.

Materials & Methods: This quantitative research employed a research and development design that included model development, expert validation, one-on-one testing, small-group testing, and effectiveness testing using a pre-post-test design. Participants included pregnant women in Merangin District, Jambi Province selected using purposive sampling. Validated and reliable questionnaires measured knowledge and attitudes. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests.

Findings: The American national institutes for social advancement model was considered feasible based on assessments of navigation, language clarity, content completeness, visual appeal, and technical performance. Effectiveness testing showed a significant improvement in mothers’ knowledge after the intervention (p<0.001) and a significant improvement in attitudes (p<0.001). Between-group comparisons indicated that the intervention group had significantly higher post-test knowledge than the control group (p<0.001), although the differences in attitudes were not statistically significant (p=0.252).

Conclusion: The American national institutes for social advancement model is effective in improving knowledge and enhancing attitudes related to anemia prevention among pregnant women.
