Abstract:
Background: This study aimed to investigate different methods used to provide necessary supplementations for pregnant women and obtain reliable data about the general status of health promotion during pregnancy. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted on 401 pregnant women referring to different women’s hospitals of Tabriz, including Alzahra, Taleghani, 29-Bahman, Zakariya, Shafa, and Shams from March 2011 to September 2013. Subjects were selected using simple random sampling and had prior experience of childbirth. Results: In this study, prenatal care was provided for all the pregnant women at public (55.8%) and private sectors (44.2%). Iron supplementation used by the subjects included ferrous sulfate (150 mg) + folic acid (0.5 mg) (20.2%), regular-release ferrous sulfate (325 mg) (70.4%), folic acid (0.1 mg) + ferrous sulfate (200 mg) (6.5%), and vitamin B12 (15 mg) + ferrous fumarate (350 mg)+ vitamin C (150 mg) + folic acid (1 mg) (1.6%). Supplementations were provided before (56.7%) or after (43.3%) the onset of pregnancy. In total, 40.9% of the subjects received family planning care, 44.7% of whom referred to medical centers, 34.6% referred to health houses, 12.3% consulted gynecologists, 2.8% consulted midwives and 5% received traditional care.
