Anemia remains a significant health problem that adversely affects maternal and fetal health. Globally, anemia is the fourth leading cause of maternal mortality after hemorrhage, hypertension, and infection. Inadequate knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women regarding anemia prevention during pregnancy may negatively impact maternal and fetal outcomes, potentially increasing the risk of complications and death. This study aimed to describe pregnant women's knowledge and attitudes toward anemia during pregnancy at RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh. A quantitative descriptive design was employed. The population included all pregnant women who visited the Obstetrics Polyclinic, Delivery Room, and Arafah Room 2 at RSUDZA. Purposive sampling was used to obtain 105 respondents. Data were collected using validated and reliable instruments consisting of a 15-item knowledge questionnaire and a 14-item attitude questionnaire related to anemia during pregnancy. The results of this study indicate that pregnant women's knowledge about anemia during pregnancy is in the sufficient category (42.9%), good knowledge (36.2%), and poor knowledge (21.0%). Furthermore, pregnant women's attitudes toward anemia during pregnancy are in the positive category (61.9%), while those in the negative category (38.1%). It is recommended for health workers to provide education on preventing anemia during pregnancy using Motion Video Education (MVE).
