Anemia is one of the most serious health problems impacting people worldwide. The disease is quiet, moving slowly and producing only a few physical symptoms. Anemia during pregnancy raises the risk of premature birth, low birth weight, and fetal anomalies, and it can have a substantial financial impact on society and families. However, there was a paucity of studies on the magnitude and associated factors of anemia among pregnant women in southern Ethiopia.
This study aimed to assess the magnitude and associated factors of anemia among pregnant women attending antenatal care in the Hawella Tula Sub-city of Hawassa City in 2021.
Institution-based cross-sectional study was done on 341 randomly selected pregnant women attending antenatal care clinics. Data were obtained using a standardized semi-structured questionnaire. To identify the associated factors for the magnitude of anemia logistic regression model was used with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated.
The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women attending antenatal care in health facilities of Hawella Tula Sub-city was 113 (33.7%) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) (28.8, 38.9). Male-headed household (AOR = 2.217, 95% CI: 1.146, 4.286), rural resident (AOR = 3.805, 95% CI: 2.118, 6.838), early marriage below 18 years (AOR = 2.137, 95% CI: 1.193, 3.830), and recurrent of illness during pregnancy (AOR = 3.189, 95% CI: 1.405, 7.241) were associated factors for anemia.
Anemia prevalence among pregnant women was 113 (33.7%). Anemia among pregnant women was associated with rural residents, early marriage age below 18 years, and repeated illnesses during pregnancy.
贫血是影响全球人群的最严重健康问题之一。该疾病较为隐匿，进展缓慢，仅产生少数身体症状。孕期贫血会增加早产、低出生体重和胎儿畸形的风险，并且会对社会和家庭造成重大经济影响。然而，埃塞俄比亚南部孕妇贫血的严重程度及相关因素的研究较少。
本研究旨在评估2021年在哈瓦萨市哈韦拉图拉子市接受产前护理的孕妇贫血的严重程度及相关因素。
对341名随机选取的在产前护理诊所就诊的孕妇进行了基于机构的横断面研究。使用标准化的半结构化问卷获取数据。为确定贫血严重程度的相关因素，采用逻辑回归模型计算调整后的比值比（AOR）及95%置信区间（CI）。
在哈韦拉图拉子市卫生机构接受产前护理的孕妇中，贫血患病率为113例（33.7%），95%置信区间（CI）为（28.8, 38.9）。男性为户主的家庭（AOR = 2.217，95% CI：1.146, 4.286）、农村居民（AOR = 3.805，95% CI：2.118, 6.838）、18岁以下早婚（AOR = 2.137，95% CI：1.193, 3.830）以及孕期疾病复发（AOR = 3.189，95% CI：1.405, 7.241）是贫血的相关因素。
孕妇贫血患病率为113例（33.7%）。孕妇贫血与农村居民、18岁以下早婚年龄以及孕期疾病复发有关。
