Description
Introduction: Pregnancy anemia is still a big problem worldwide. Health behavior can be influenced by perceptions
of the importance of disease prevention. The theory of the Health Belief Model can study the relationship between
prevention efforts and perceptions. The purpose was to analyze the relationship between perceived susceptibility,
perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, self-efficacy and cues to action with anemia prevention
behaviors.
Methods: This study used a correlational design cross-sectional approach. The total samples were 104 pregnant
women selected using purposive sampling. The independent variables in this study were perceived susceptibility,
perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, self-efficacy, and cues to action. The dependent variable in
this study was anemia prevention behaviors. Data were collected at one obstetrical polyclinic in hospital and also
home visits were conducted to respondents who did not come to the hospital. The instrument used questionnaires
on perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, cues to action and
anemia prevention behaviors.
Results: Perceived susceptibility (p=0.023 r=0.223), and cues to action (p=0.037 r=0.204) had a significant
relationship with anemia prevention behaviors., while there was no relation between perceived severity (p= 0.839),
perceived benefit (p= 0.986), perceived barrier (p= 0.585), and self-efficacy (p=0.399) with anemia prevention
behaviors.
Conclusions: Health workers can increase the susceptibility and cues to action of pregnant women through health
education about anemia prevention.
