A cross-sectional observational study was undertaken to determine the compliance to intake of food and micronutrient supplements among 48 rural pregnant women in two sub-districts under two Divisions of Bangladesh. All pregnant women were observed from 8am to 2pm everyday for three consecutive days. Results shows that only 27.1% of the pregnant women consumed the full packet of food supplements, 43.1% shared it with other members of their family and 29.2% did not go to collect the supplement. A total of 93.8 % women did not consume the micronutrients, iron or folate supplements during the time of observation. Necessary steps should be taken to improve delivery strategies of supplements among rural pregnant women in Bangladesh, which should include training of the service providers and health education to the pregnant women.
在孟加拉国两个分区下属的两个乡开展了一项横断面观察性研究，以确定48名农村孕妇对食物和微量营养素补充剂摄入的依从性。连续三天每天上午8点至下午2点观察所有孕妇。结果显示，只有27.1%的孕妇食用了整包食物补充剂，43.1%与家庭成员分享，29.2%未去领取补充剂。在观察期间，共有93.8%的妇女未食用微量营养素、铁或叶酸补充剂。应采取必要措施改善孟加拉国农村孕妇补充剂的发放策略，其中应包括对服务提供者的培训和对孕妇的健康教育。
