| Abstract: | Background: Evidence from World Health Organization (WHO) document shows that, about 38.6% (32 million) of pregnant women are anaemic in the world. Out of this, 46.3% (9.2 million) of them are in Africa. It constitutes a major Public Health concern with studies indicating that anaemia in pregnancy has been related to adverse pregnancy outcome and fetal growth. Cameroon as one of the middle-income countries reported a prevalence of 39.7% in 202. Objective: To assess the knowledge, and practices of pregnant women on anaemia, its prevention and control strategies in the Bamenda Health District. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study design carried out involving all registered pregnant women at the antenatal clinic within the Bamenda Health District. Questionnaire with close ended questions was used to collect data from the participants. Ethical clearance, administrative authorization and informed consent from participants were obtained. Data analysis was done with statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) for Windows version 25.0, set at 5% (p=0.05) CI. Chi-square (χ2) analyses were conducted to determine any existing relationship between anaemia and various factors for quantitative data. Results: Belonging to the younger age group (15-19) increased the odds (OR 1.1.CI 0.6-2.2) of poor knowledge on causes of anaemia when compared with women of the older group (35-49 years). The result in terms of knowledge and age group showed that the age group 25-29 knew more about anaemia than other age groups (p=0.030), as well as signs and symptoms of anaemia (p <0.001). The differences in level of education were statistically significant (p=0.012). Practice in terms of marital status was higher with married women than with unmarried women (p=0.046). Conclusion: Pregnant women had good knowledge on anaemia prevention but poor practices. Current anaemia prevention practices have some gaps, which have been linked to barriers. Ministry of Public Health should formulate an independent policy on anaemia prevention in the health sector strategy. |
