| Summary, etc. | Abstract:<br/><br/>This study aimed to assess the knowledge of pregnant women attending the ANC clinic at Makongoro Health Center in Mwanza, Tanzania, on the use of ferrous sulphate. A total of 217 participants were included in the study. The research objectives were to determine the awareness level of pregnant women regarding the importance of iron supplementation during pregnancy, assess their knowledge of the proper dosage and timing of ferrous sulphate intake, and identify any misconceptions or myths surrounding its use. Data was gathered by questionnaires, analyzed with SPSS, and a cross-sectional design was used.<br/><br/>The findings revealed varying levels of knowledge among pregnant women on these topics. It was observed that some pregnant women were aware of the importance of iron supplementation during pregnancy, but had limited knowledge of the correct dosage and timing of intake. Additionally, misconceptions and myths surrounding the use of ferrous sulphate were identified.<br/><br/>In conclusion, there is a clear need for health education programs targeting pregnant women to improve their knowledge of iron supplementation during pregnancy. These programs should aim to enhance understanding of the correct dosage and timing of ferrous sulphate intake, as well as address misconceptions and myths. Recommendations include the implementation of health education programs and strategies specifically designed to improve women's knowledge and dispel existing myths.<br/> <br/> |
