چکیده

مقدمه: پایبندی به مصرف روزانه آهن اسیدفولیک در طی بارداری سبب کاهش عوارض مادری از قبیل زایمان زودرس، وزن کم زمان تولد و نواقص جنینی می‌شود. شناسایی عوامل مرتبط بر پایبندی مصرف آهن/ فولیک اسید ضروری به‌نظر می‌رسد. مطالعه حاضر با هدف تعیین پایبندی و عوامل مرتبط با آن در زنان باردار صورت گرفت.
روشکار: این مطالعه توصیفی- تحلیلی در سال 1401 بر روی 178 نفر از زنان باردار در استان مازندران انجام شد. جمع‌آوری اطلاعات با استفاده از پرسشنامه ­های دموگرافیک، پایبندی خودگزارشی، پایبندی به مصرف دارو موریسکی و آگاهی مصرف فولیک اسید و آهن صورت گرفت. تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها با استفاده از نرم‌افزار آماری SPSS (نسخه 21) و آزمون‌های کای اسکوئر و آنالیز رگرسیون لجستیک انجام شد. میزان p کمتر از 05/0 معنی‌دار در نظر گرفته شد.
یافته ­ها: میزان پایبندی به مصرف آهن- اسید فولیک تقریباً 70% بود. بیشترین عوارض مشاهده شده، عوارض گوارشی و شایع‌ترین دلیل عدم پایبندی به مصرف، فراموشی مصرف دارو بود. سن بالای 30 سال (027/0=p، 49/2=OR)، دفعات مراقبت پره‌ناتال بیشتر از 4 بار (042/0=p، 33/2=OR) و عدم وجود عوارض دارویی (033/0=p، 42/2=OR) شانس پایبندی را افزایش داده بود. در زنان شاغل، شانس پایبندی کمتر بود (025/0=p،33/0=OR).
نتیجه ­گیری: در این مطالعه، پایبندی به مصرف آهن / اسید فولیک در زنان باردار بالا بود. مراقبت ­های منظم دوران بارداری و ارائه مشاوره مناسب، سبب بهبود پایبندی به مصرف آهن/ اسید فولیک در زنان باردار می‌شود.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Adhering to the daily intake of folic acid-iron during pregnancy reduces maternal complications such as premature birth, low birth weight and fetal defects. It seems necessary to identify factors related to iron/ folic acid adherence. This study was conducted with aim to determine the adherence to iron- folic acid supplementation and its related factors among pregnant women.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2022 on 178 pregnant women in Mazandaran province/ Iran. Data were collected via questionnaires (Demographic, self-report adherence, Morisky questionnaire and Iron/ folic acid knowledge). Analysis was done using SPSS software (version 21) and chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Nearly 70% of pregnant women adhered to iron-folic acid intake. The most observed side effects were gastrointestinal complications, and the most common reason for non-adherence to use was forgetfulness. Age over 30 years old (OR=2.49; p=0.027), prenatal care more than 4 times (OR=2.33; p=0.042), and the absence of drug side effects (OR=2.42; p=0.033) increased the chances of adhering to iron-folic acid. The chance of adhering decreased in working mothers (OR=0.33; p=0.025).
Conclusion: In this study, adherence to iron and folic acid intake in pregnant women was high. Regular prenatal care and appropriate consultation will improve adherence to iron/folic acid intake in pregnant women.
