Abstract

Background: Hemoglobin is a protein which rich in iron and has affinity for oxygen by forming oxyhemoglobin in red blood cells. The decrease of hemoglobin levels occurs gradually from the first trimester, then reaches its minimum level at the end of the second trimester and tends to increase in the third trimester. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of green coconut water consumption (Cocos nucifera) on the increase of hemoglobin (Hb) in pregnant women in the first and second trimesters in the Air Salobar Health Center Work Area, Ambon City in 2021. Methods: This study is a quantitative study using quasy Experiment Design which aims to measure the effect of green coconut water (Cocos nucifera) consumption on increasing hemoglobin in first and second trimester pregnant women using the one group pre test-post test design method. The sample of this study was 12 respondents with the sampling technique used was total sampling. The instrument in this study was an observation sheet. Results: The results of the study using the paired T-test showed an average increase in hemoglobin levels of 0.57% after giving 500 ml of green coconut water (Cocos nucifera) per day within one week to 12 respondents seen from the significant value or p- value = 0.000 where it is said to have an effect if (p<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it was found that there was a significant effect on the average pre-test and post-test Hb levels of the intervention. It is hoped that the results of the study can be used as a preventive and curative effort for pregnant women with low Hb (<11 g/dl).
