Background: Anemia is one of the indirect causes of death of pregnant women, therefore the condition of anemic pregnant women can have an impact on Low Birth Weight Babies. Efforts to prevent anemia in pregnancy can be given with pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. Pharmacological therapy has side effects such as stomach discomfort, nausea, difficulty in defecating, and black stools. While the non-pharmacological therapy that we can give to accelerate the increase in hemoglobin levels of pregnant women is one of them by consuming tempe (Fathonah, 2016).The purpose of the study: to determine the effect of tempeh consumption on the increase in hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia at the Karta Raharja Public Health Center.Research method: This study uses a quasi-experimental or quasi-experimental method. In this study, the population was all pregnant women in the Kartaraharja Health Center in 2020, while the sample was 36 pregnant women. The sampling method of this study uses a non-probability sampling technique with purposive sampling. Intervention was carried out in the form of giving tempeh for 15 days, then after that the hemoglobin levels were checked again. Analysis of the data using the T-Dependent statistical test.Results: From the results of the research conducted, the average hemoglobin level in the intervention group before being given tempeh was 9.4278 gr%, after being given tempeh the average hemoglobin level rose to 10,7111 gr%. The average increase in hemoglobin levels of pregnant women after the intervention was 1.2833 gr%. The results of data analysis in the control group were 9.7111 gr%, while the average hemoglobin level after monitoring was 10.4333 gr%. The average increase in the control group was 0.7222 gr%.Conclusion: from this study it can be concluded that there is an effect of consuming tempeh and iron on anemic pregnant women at the Karta Raharja Tulang Bawang Barat Health Center in 2020.Suggestion: it is hoped that later it will become a place of knowledge for mothers so that they have good and right abilities and vice versa.

Breastfeeding is one of the global health issues in the 21st century, given that breastfeeding has a significant effect on infant mortality. The absence of breastfeeding in the first days after giving birth is one of the reasons for not creating exclusive breastfeeding. The inhibition of breastmilk secretion can be caused by inhibition of oxytocin secretion which is very instrumental in smoothing out ASI expenditure. Stimulation of the hormone prolactin and oxytocin can be done through breast care and oxytocin massage. Kamonji Health Center is the health center with the lowest exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Palu City, which is 57.3%. The purpose of this study was to find out the comparative time of mother's milk delivery which was given oxytocin massage and breast care within 2 hours postpartum in the Kamonji Community Health Center work area. This study is a quasi-experimental study with the design of The posttest-only control group. The number of samples was 30 people, taken by consecutive sampling technique and divided by 15 respondents into the oxytocin and breast care massage groups. The intervention was carried out within 2 hours postpartum and then observed when the first ASI was discharged after the third stage ended. Data normality test using Shapiro-Wilk test, data analysis using Mann Whitney test obtained a significance value of 0.044, with the average time of mother's breastmilk given oxytocin massage was 14.19 hours and breast care 5.57 hours. The conclusion of the study is that there is a difference in the time of mother's milk to be given oxytocin massage and breast care in the fourth stage of labor. Based on the results of this study it is recommended to do breast care to help accelerate the release of breast milk.
