چکیده

مقدمه: کم­ خونی فقر آهن، یکی از شایع ترین مشکلات دوران بارداری است و عامل خطر مهمی برای سلامتی مادر و جنین محسوب می­ شود. کم­خونی فقر آهن می­ تواند در اثر کمبود مصرف آهن، اختلال در جذب آن، از دست دادن آهن و یا افزایش نیاز به آن ایجاد شود. مطالعة حاضر با هدف بر رسی تأثیر کم­ خونی فقر آهن مادر در دوران بارداری بر شاخص­ های تن­ سنجی بدو تولد نوزادان انجام شد.
روشکار: این مطالعه مقطعی طی سال‌های 98-1397 بر روی 630 مادر مراجعه کننده به مراکز بهداشتی درمانی شهر زاهدان و نوزادان آنها انجام شد. ابزار گردآوری داده­ ها، فرم اطلاعاتی محقق‌ساخته بود که اطلاعات دموگرافیک مادر و نوزاد، کم‌خونی فقر آهن مادر و شاخص ­های تن­ سنجی نوزاد در آن ثبت گردید. تجزیه و تحلیل داده ­ها با استفاده از نرم‌افزار آماری SPSS (نسخه 22) و آزمون‌های آماری کای اسکوئر و تی مستقل انجام شد. میزان p کمتر از 05/0 معنی‌دار در نظر گرفته شد.
یافته ­ها: شیوع کم­ خونی فقر آهن در مادران مورد مطالعه 9/18% بود. بین کم­ خونی فقر آهن مادر با وضعیت وزنی بدو تولد نوزاد ارتباط آماری معنی‌داری مشاهده گردید (05/0>p)، ولی بین کم­خونی مادر با اندازة دور سر و قد بدو تولد نوزاد ارتباط آماری معنی‌داری مشاهده نشد (05/0p>).
نتیجه ­گیری: با توجه به عوارض واضح کم ­خونی فقر آهنِ مادر بر سلامت نوزادان، توجه بیشتر به تغذیة مادر در دوران بارداری و دقت در مصرف به‌موقع مکمل آهن در زنان باردار ضروری به‌نظر می­ رسد.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common problems during pregnancy and an important risk factor for the health of mother and fetus. Iron deficiency anemia can be caused by lack of iron intake, absorption impairment, and loss of iron or increased need for it. The present study was conducted with aim to investigate the effect of maternal iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy on infants’ anthropometric indices at birth.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018-2019 on 630 mothers referred to the health care centers in Zahedan and their infants. The data collection tool was a researcher-made form which recorded the maternal and infant demographic information, maternal iron deficiency anemia, and infants’ anthropometric indices at birth. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 22) and Chi-square and t-tests. P<0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in the studied mothers was 18.9%. There was a significant relationship between maternal iron deficiency anemia and infants’ birth weight (P<0.05). However, there was no significant relationship between maternal anemia with infant’s length size and head circumference at birth (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Given the clear effects of maternal iron deficiency anemia on the health of infants, it seems necessary to pay more attention to maternal nutrition during pregnancy and to be careful about the timely use of iron supplements in pregnant women.
