Özet:

 


Nutrition education improves maternal nutrition and reduces the risk of
poor health outcomes in both mothers and their children. The relationship between maternal nutrition education and
mother's nutritional knowledge score, dietary habits, food consumption and
health status (hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood pressure and body weight gain)
were the subject of investigation in this study. This study has been conducted by random sampling on
150 low income pregnant women between the ages of 18-35, in intervention
and control groups. Data was collected at an initial interview and again at a
final interview after two nutrition education programs.There were significant
increases in the nutritional knowledge score and mean intake of calcium, iron,
vitamin A and weight gain in the intervention group (p<0.05),also increases
on mean intake of energy, protein and vitamin C. Hemoglobin and hematocrit
levels in the intervention group did not appear to be influenced by the
nutrition education. The results indicate
that nutrition counseling during pregnancy can improve dietary intake and
maternal weight gain.
