Preventive measures such as adequate nutrition, iron and folic acid supplementation, and regular antenatal care are essential in reducing its occurrence. Despite the availability of these measures, many pregnant women still experience anemia due to poor awareness and non- adherence to preventive practices. This study assessed the awareness and adherence to preventive measures of anemia among pregnant women attending an antenatal clinic. The objectives of the study were to assess the level of awareness of anemia during pregnancy, determine the level of adherence to preventive measures, and identify factors hindering adherence among pregnant women. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was adopted. The study was conducted among pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic at Muhammad Abdullahi Wase Teaching Hospital, Kano. A total of 232 respondents were selected using a systematic sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages. The findings revealed that the majority of the respondents had adequate awareness of anemia and its preventive measures. However, adherence to these preventive measures varied among the participants. Factors identified as hindering adherence included forgetfulness in taking supplements, side effects of iron tablets, inadequate knowledge of proper nutrition, and irregular antenatal clinic attendance. The study concluded that although awareness of anemia prevention among pregnant women was relatively high, adherence to preventive measures was not optimal. Therefore, strengthening health education during antenatal visits and improving counseling on the importance of iron supplementation and proper nutrition are recommended to enhance adherence and reduce the risk of anemia during pregnancy. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Nursing Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Factors contributing to ineffective utilization of immunization programme among mothers in Ekwerazu town Ahiazu Mbaise local government area Imo state»Knowledge and practice of quality assurance among nurses working in accident and emergency unit of University of Ilorin teaching hospital, Kwara state»Awareness of female genital mutilation and its implication to reproductive health among mothers in Amaifeke in Orlu local government, Imo state»Factors that influence the patronage of traditional birth attendants in Umuowa community Orlu Lga, Imo State»Accessibility and use of information communication technology (ICT) in the enhancement of nursing education among nursing students in Madonna University Teaching Hospital (MUTH)»Attitude of nurses towards research among accident and emergency nurses of University of Ilorin teaching hospital»Awareness and practice of pressure sores prevention in the care of the elderly among nurses in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Incidence of protein energy malnutrition among children under five years in General Hospital, Yelwa Yauri, Kebbi state»Factors influencing the attitudes of women toward family planning in Rivers state»Assessment of nutritional pattern and practice among pregnant women in holy rosary hospital»Assessment of exclusive breastfeeding in the development of under-five children in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Burnout syndrome and use of therapeutic approaches among nursing students in Madonna University, Rivers state»Assessment of practices used in the prevention of Lassa fever infection among health workers in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Factors influencing high rate of abortion among women of childbearing age in Saki, Saki West Local Government Area, Oyo State»Awareness of determinants of sexual abuse and identification of supportive care among female nursing student of Madonna University
