Abstract
This study adopted descriptive cross-sectional study to assess knowledge and adherence to Anaemia prevention in pregnancy among pregnant in Ladoke Akinola University Teaching Hospital Ogbomoso, Oyo State. This study was conducted among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic the Teaching Hospital. The sample size of 174 respondents were selected using purposive sampling techniques and each were presented with a validated questionnaire used for data collection and returned for data analysis. Data were collated, sorted and processed into excel spread sheet. The processed data were analysed using SPSS edition 27. Specifically data was analysed using descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages and mean). Positive Items were considered significant at mean equal or greater than 3, while negative items were considered significant at mean less than 3. Findings from this study shows that, most of the respondents were 37 years and below, educated and that, majority have had at least one child previously. More findings revealed that, significant number of the respondents had poor knowledge (Mean<3.0) and poor level of adherence to prevention of Anaemia in pregnancy (Mean<3.0). The study concluded that, poor knowledge explains low adherence to prevention of Anaemia in pregnancy among respondents. It is recommended that, pregnant women need to be enlightened that anaemia could be a serious complication resulting from poor nutrition, malaria among others, so they should embrace prevention.
