Introduction: Anemia in pregnant women is still a serious health problem in
Indonesia, affecting the fetus and pregnant women. The prevalence of anemia in
pregnant women worldwide is 40%. One of the causes of maternal death is anemia
suffered by pregnant women. Thus, we need other supplements, such as additional
iron supplements in foods or drinks containing lots of iron. Every 100 grams of
spinach contains 3.9 mg of iron and 80 mg of vitamin C, which can help iron
absorption. Then, the iron in dates juice can supply the required RDA
(Recommended Dietary Allowance), which is 6%. Methods: Experimental study of
giving green spinach (Amaranthus hybridus, L.) with dates (Phoenix dactylifera,
L.) juice to pregnant women with haemoglobin levels <11 g/dL, beginning with an
examination of haemoglobin levels before treatment (pretest) and after treatment
(posttest) in the patient. Results: The results showed that the age of the most
dominant respondents was between 20-35 years, the most dominant gestational age
was 13-27 weeks or the second trimester, and the most dominant gestational history
is multigravida or having been pregnant more than one time, and all pregnant
women have consumed blood boosting tablets or the like. In the results of the Paired
T-Test, the significance value is 0.000 (p < 0.05), which indicates a significant
difference between haemoglobin levels before treatment (pretest) and after
treatment (posttest). Conclusion: Giving spinach with dates juice can help as a
complementary therapy to increase haemoglobin levels in anaemic pregnant
women at the Karangmoncol District Health Center.
