ABSTRACT
Introduction: Anemia in pregnancy is a major public health concern, particularly in developing countries like India. Nutritional deficiency anemia can lead to severe maternal and fetal complications. This study aimed to assess the knowledge regarding prevention and management of nutritional deficiency anemia among antenatal mothers at selected PHCs in Barmer, Rajasthan. Methodology: A non-experimental descriptive research design was adopted. A total of 100 antenatal mothers were selected using a non-probability convenience sampling technique from PHCs in Khadeen and Bhadakha. Data was collected through a structured knowledge questionnaire consisting of 26 multiple-choice items. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including chi-square tests, were used for analysis. Results: Findings revealed that 58% of antenatal mothers had poor knowledge, 29% had average knowledge, and only 13% demonstrated good knowledge. Significant associations were found between knowledge levels and education, type of family, and source of information (p < 0.05), while variables such as age, occupation, and gravida were not significantly associated. Conclusion: The study highlights a substantial gap in knowledge among antenatal mothers regarding anemia prevention and management. Educational interventions targeting low-literacy populations and improved communication from healthcare providers are essential to address this gap.
