Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effect of milk supplementation on Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) and hemoglobin level in pregnant women. It is a quasi-experimental study conducted from May to August 2019. The sampling was done by purposive sampling, and 108 pregnant women were recruited and divided into two groups: intervention group and non-intervention group. The intervention group received Fe-fortified milk supplementation, and the non-intervention group received education on anemia prevention. Data were analyzed using paired t-test. The result was that providing milk supplementation to pregnant women for three months could significantly increase MUAC and prevent further decline in hemoglobin levels.
本研究旨在确定补充牛奶对孕妇中上臂围(MUAC)和血红蛋白水平的影响。这是一项准实验研究,于2019年5月至8月进行。研究采用目的取样法,共招募了108名孕妇,并将其分为两组:干预组和非干预组。干预组补充铁强化牛奶,非干预组接受预防贫血教育。数据采用配对 t 检验进行分析。结果表明,为孕妇提供为期三个月的牛奶补充剂可显著增加 MUAC,并防止血红蛋白水平进一步下降。
