Abstract
Background. The global prevalence of anemia. According to estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO), around 40% of children aged 6-59 months, 37% of pregnant women, and 30% of women aged 15-49 worldwide experience anemia. In Indonesia, the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia among pregnant women was 37.1% in 2020 and 24.5% in 2021. The impact of anemia on pregnant women includes significant complications for both the mother and the fetus. Based on this data, Kedokanbunder Health Center is among the health centers with the highest anemia rates in Indramayu district, affecting 104 pregnant women.

The population consists of pregnant women in the working area of the Kedokanbunder Community Health Center, totaling 88 individuals, and the sampling method used is Accidental Sampling. The instrument used is a questionnaire, and the data analysis techniques are univariate and bivariate, with the Chi-square test used to analyze the data.
Result. The research results showed that among pregnant women, the majority (53, 60.2%) had no anemia. The Chi-square test results indicated a p-value of 0.978 for age (p > 0.05), a p-value of 0.006 for education (p < 0.05), a p-value of 0.019 for parity (p < 0.05), a p-value of 0.008 for knowledge (p < 0.05), and a p-value of 0.202 for economic status (p < 0.05).
