The Effect of PSIDUGA Behaviour Program on Improving PSIDUGAB Behaviour and Hemoglobin Levels in Pregnant Women with Anaemia

Aim: To appraise the effect of the PSIDUGA program on hemoglobin levels in pregnancy women with anaemia. Methods: Design of the study was a quasi-experimental study to find out the influence of the PSIDUGA program on Hemoglobin levels in pregnancy women with anaemia. Ninety-four pregnancy women with anaemia were randomly recruited which assigned into the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG). Of this, 46 participants in the EG received the PSIDUGA program and the usual care whereas the CG only received the usual care. Hemoglobin levels were measured by the clinical device provided by Cikedal Public Health Center. To determine the between group of the effect of the program was analyzed by using an Independent t-test, whereas to report the within group effect of the program was analyzed by using Paired t-test. Result: The result showed that the mean score of hemoglobin levels in the EG was significantly higher than those in the CG after received the program (p< 0.05). Conclusion: This study revealed that a PSIDUGA program clearly indicated positive effect on improving hemoglobin levels in pregnancy women with anaemia.
