BACKGROUND: The prevalence of anemic pregnant women is still reasonably high, especially in low-middleincome countries. AIM: This study was aimed to assess the effect of giving red seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii) biscuits on changes in hemoglobin (Hb) levels and body weight of pregnant women in the first trimester. METHODS: The study used a quasi-experiment pretest-posttest study design. The study was conducted from April to June 2021 involving pregnant women in the first trimester who living in the working area of the Wapunto Community Health Center, Muna Regency, Indonesia. A total of 45 pregnant women were selected purposively and assigned to three different groups. The first group was given two pieces of red seaweed biscuits per day. The second group was given two pieces of red seaweed biscuits plus Fe tablets (60 mg/day), and the last group was given Fe tablet only (60 mg/day). Chi-square, paired sample t-test, Wilcoxon, and Kruskal–Wallis tests were performed using SPSS. RESULTS: The intervention group of red seaweed biscuits plus Fe tablets had the highest increase in Hb levels after 8 weeks of intervention, followed by the red seaweed biscuit group and the control group (0.97, 0.78, and 0.60 g/dL, respectively, p-value < 0.05). The red seaweed biscuit intervention group had the highest changes for body weight compared to the red seaweed biscuit plus Fe tablet group and the control group (1.07, 0.43, and 0.04 kg, respectively). CONCLUSION: The provision of red seaweed biscuits could increase maternal Hb level and weight during the first trimester of their pregnancy.

This study aims to produce a preeclampsia diagnostic system online and to determine the difference in the speed of time required to diagnose preeclampsia using a web-based information system with a manual system. This research method is to arrange a framework with a quasi experimental research design with a post test only with control group. This research was conducted at the Community Health Center. The results showed that the majority of respondents were healthy pregnant women namely in the intervention group of 20 pregnant women (30.30%) and in the control group of 15 pregnant women (22.73%). The smallest number of diagnoses is in the case of superimposed preeclampsia. Web-based information systems are also able to increase diagnostic speeds to 7.21%. Statistical test results using the Independent T-Test obtained a P-value of 0.041 <0.05 (α). Conclusion, there is a difference in the time of diagnosis of preeclampsia using a web-based information system with a manual system.   Keywords: Diagnosis, Preeclampsia, Information Systems, Web

This research aims to find out the factors related to the decrease of Antenatal Care in accordance with the decrease in the Antenatal Care visits in the first contact of pregnant women checking K-1 in the working area of Community Health Center Bongomeme Gorontalo District in 2018. The population of the current research was all pregnant women listed in Kohort pregnant women book in the Community Health Center Bogomeme in 2018 there were 163 pregnant women participated. The research design used was a cross sectional study approach. The obtained data were subsequently examined using chi-square test by referring to p value < 0,005. The research results shown that the parity variable of the pregnancy has p value of 0,038, pregnant women knowledge has p value of 0,012, and pregnant women job has p value of 0,000. Thus, this variable has a parity of pregnancy, knowledge of pregnant women and occupation of pregnant women has a relationship with antenatal visits (K-1), while family support variables with p value of 0.478 means that this variable has no relationship with antenatal visits (K-1). The conclusion was the parity, pregnant women knowledge, and pregnant women occupation have the significant relationship with the antenatal care visits (K-1), while the family support has no significant relationship with antenatal visits (K-1). The pregnant women should maintain the pregnancy spacing, maintain the pregnancy health, and increase their knowledge.Cakupan kunjungan Antenatal Care (ANC) di Kabupaten Gorontalo selama tiga tahun terakhir adalah cakupan kunjungan pertama ibu hamil (K-1) tahun 2015 mencapai 90%, pada tahun berikutnya tahun 2016 terjadi penurunan yaitu 76% dan pada tahun 2017 mencapai 89,86%.

Anemia is one of the many problems that occur in pregnant women in developing countries. First trimester pregnant women often experience nausea and vomiting that can affect the pattern of eating that is received. The purpose of this study was to determine whether nutritional intake and nausea and vomiting disorders in first trimester pregnant women were associated with anemia. The sample of this study was all first trimester pregnant women, selected by quota sampling technique. The research design used in this study was cross sectional, which aims to examine the correlation between nutrient intake (iron, protein, and vitamin C) and nausea and vomiting disorders with anemia. The instrument used to determine the intake of iron, protein, vitamin C was food records that were filled by respondents for 3 days. To test the hypothesis of the relationship used the chi square test and Fisher's exact test. From the results of the analysis of the relationship between iron intake, Vitamin C and nausea and vomiting with anemia, p-value = 0.003, p-value = 0.001 and p-value 0.001, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between iron intake, vitamin C and vomiting nausea with the incidence of anemia in first trimester pregnant women (first). While the results of the analysis of the relationship of protein intake with anemia obtained p-value = 0.806, it can be concluded that there is no relationship between protein intake and the incidence of anemia in first trimester pregnant women (first). The mean intake of iron, protein, and vitamin C in first trimester pregnant women both in the anemic and non-anemic groups had a daily intake that was still far from the nutritional adequacy standard set by the government that the RDA of iron was 26 g / dL / day Protein was 76 mg / day and Vit C is 70-85 mg / day. Keywords: food intake; nausea and vomiting; anemia ABSTRAK Anemia merupakan salah satu masalah yang banyak terjadi pada ibu hamil di negara berkembang. Ibu hamil trimester I sering mengalami gangguan mual muntah yang dapat berpengaruh pada pola ragam makan yang diterima. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui apakah asupan nutrisi dan gangguan mual muntah pada ibu hamil trimester I berhubungan dengan kejadian anemia. Sampel penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu hamil trimester I diambil dengan teknik Non Probability sampling yaitu Sampling Kuota. Desain penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah epidemiologi analitik observasional dengan desain cross sectional, yang bertujuan menguji hipotesi dalam mencari korelasi asupan nutrisi (zat besi, protein, dan vitamin C) dan gangguan mual muntah dengan kejadian anemia. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengetahui kecukupan asupan zat besi, protein,vitamin C adalah food records yang di isi oleh responden selama 3 hari. Untuk melihat hubungan karakteristik dengan variabel dependen digunakan uji chi square dengan alternative uji exact fisher. Dari hasil analisis hubungan antara asupan zat besi, Vitamin C dan mual muntah dengan anemia didapatkan nilai p-value= 0,003, p-value = 0,001 dan p-value 0,001 maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada hubungan antara asupan Zat Besi, Vitamin C dan Mual Muntah dengan kejadian Anemia pada ibu hamil trimester 1 (pertama). Sedangkan hasil analisis hubungan asupan protein dengan anemia didaparkan p-value= 0,806 maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara asupan protein dengan kejadian anemia pada ibu hamil trimester 1 (pertama). Rerata asupan zat besi, protein, dan vitamin C pada ibu hamil trimester I baik pada kelompok anemia maupun tidak anemia memiliki jumlah asupan harian yang masih jauh dari standar kecukupan gizi yang ditetapkan oleh pemerintah bahwa AKG zat besi adalah 26 g/dL/hari Protein adalah 76 mg/hari dan Vit C adalah 70-85 mg/hari.
