ABSTRACT
Anaemia in
pregnancy is a public health problem in developing countries. This study aimed
to access the knowledge of anemia among pregnant women during child bearing age
determine risk and reason , and adverse anenatal care outcomes of anaemia among pregnant women
attending dutse general hospital. This questionear conducted from October 2023
to December 2023. A total of 110 pregnant women were enrolled in this study.
Questionnaire were distributed followed by impact of iron deficiency among
pregnant women. A total of 110 women were included in this analysis. The
majority age are 25-35 (41%). The low education level of the women were the
factors that were independently associated with anaemia pregnancy among women
No association was found between anemia. Anaemia in pregnancy was a mild public
health problem in the study setting of Dutse general hospital.
Keywords:
Anaemia in pregnancy, Iron

CHAPTER

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Anaemia during
pregnancy has been a global problems and a challenge resulting in geometric
increase in maternal mortality within society. It is a disease that is more
common in a govern society with low social economic status resulting in poor
nutritional infection. women often become anaemia during pregnancy because
demand for iron and other vitamins is increased .the mother must increase
production of red blood cells and addition of iron, which can only be obtained
from the mother in order to have enough red blood cells for the foetus the body
starts to produce more red blood cells and plasma (Federal
Ministry of Health, 2005).
It has been
calculated that the blood volume increased approximately 50% the pregnancy
although the plasma amount is disproportionately greater this because dilation
of the blood making the hemoglobin as it's lowest between week 25 and 30, the
pregnant women may need additional iron supplementation and a blood test called
serum territin in the best way of monitoring. there is therefore an urgent need
for better and growing awareness among doctors about the problem of anaemia in
pregnancy which has been a killer disease for long periods of time it affects
health of mother which can easily lead to their death.therw are many medical
complication resulting from iron deficiency, anaemia in pregnancy is harmful
and poses different kinds of hunger to both mother and foetus. It is
characterized by oedema, pallor, swelling of the ankles joint (Federal Ministry of Health, 2008).
Although the
problem has been drastically reduced in the developing countries but yet to be
tackled in developing and under developing countries due to poverty, illiteracy
and lack of adequate equipment and health care facilities in the sector. These
results in very poor material service and proper ante natal visit by pregnant
mother's. Therefore a good and qualitative medical care can only be achieved
when we have a low maternal death in our society (WHO 2002). Anaemia is a
common complication in pregnancy is a major tropics, it is usually of the type
of anaemia in pregnancy is Major causes of maternal and foetal mortality in
Africa and asia (Ojo, 2005).
Globally the prevalence of anaemia among women
of reproductive age is about 29.5%,and anaemia impacts about 40% of pregnant
women and more than 20% of non pregnant women 14 Sept 2020
The prevalence of
anaemia is highest among pregnant women in sub-sahara Africa (57%),followed by
pregnant women in South easth asia (48%) and lowest prevalence (24.1%) was
reported among women in South America 8 Nov 2018.the department of medical and
obstetrics has been alerted by the social and medical complication resulting
from anaemia in pregnancy among women of child bearing age this condition was
known to be physically and mentally harmful that poses different kinds of
dangers to both mother and the foetus (Aderson, 2006).
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Anaemia increase
the incidence of maternal mortality rate and maternal morbidity rate ,low
hemoglobin carrying oxygen lead to so many complication during pregnancy it
lead to foetul hypoxia, intra uterine death, abortion, premature labour with
delivery of maceraled foetus, maternal and foetal distress. The anaemia is
caused as a result of inadequate diet intake, lack of iron and vitamins
supplement and most of affected are women of child bearing age with the above
reason, therefore study of pregnant women of child bearing age will be among
measure of reduction of some complication during pregnancy (Derwkl, 2006).
Finally, there is no proper health education
in most of the hospital, PHC and clinic about the causes of anaemia in
pregnancy among women of child bearing age.
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The research work
on iron deficiency in pregnant is very important because of assist to examine
the problem and early sign of condition, especially in first three months of
the pregnancy. The following people will benefit from the study:
*Pregnant women
*Health worker
*Community
It assist mother's
to know the effect of iron deficiency anaemia in pregnant women and the
possible complication
The study also
improved and update health works knowledge on a anaemia with the causes, type,
effect, diagnosis, prevention and all the possible intervention of anaemia and
assist them in carrying out the clinical based function such may reduced the
maternal mortality rate in the country. It also educate women health agencies
and community in general about the changes associated with iron deficiency
anaemia in pregnancy and take a possible precaution in prevention of anaemia
among women of child bearing age (Brabin et
al,. 2001).
1.4 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The research work
is design to investigate and enquire about case of iron deficiency anaemia in
pregnancy in "DUTSE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA DUTSE GENERAL HOSPITAL of Jigawa
state of nigeria.the research deals specifically with only those condition of iron
deficiency anaemia in pregnancy among women of child bearing age.
1.5 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The following
questions are formulated to guide the study:
1. What do you normally experience first when
you are pregnant?
2. How many times have you been pregnant?
3. Does malaria in
pregnancy lead to fetal and maternal death?
4. Did you experience anaemia during previous
pregnancy?
5. Where did you go for ANC.?
6. Have you ever experienced bleeding before,
during and after labour?
1.6 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
1. To identify risk and reason for
anemia in pregnancy among women of child bearing age.
2. To suggest
possible way of reducing effect of anaemia in pregnancy among women of child
bearing age that can lead to abuse that failure and death.
3. To identify the
treatment measure of anemia during pregnancy include: nutritional iron, folate
and vitamin B12 deficiency.
4. To access the
knowledge of anaemia in pregnancy among women of child bearing age.
5. To evaluate the
level of anaemia in pregnancy among women of child bearing age.
