Abstract
This quasi-experimental research aimed to examine the effect of a nutritional promoting program using social media on gestational weight gain and recovery from anemia in adolescent pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia. The sample comprised adolescent pregnant women aged between 16 and 19 years old with a gestational age of 20 and 24 weeks who received antenatal care at Vajira Hospital. The participants of the study were 51 women who were recruited by purposive sampling, and they were assigned to the experimental group (n = 25) and the control group (n = 26). The experimental group received a nutritional promoting program using social media, whereas the control group received usual care. The research instruments consisted of 1) personal and pregnancy data questionnaires (Content Validity Index = 1.00) and 2) nutritional promoting programs using social media. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square statistics were used to analyze data.
The findings revealed that the ratio of the sample with gestational weight gain, according to the criteria, and the sample with recovered from iron deficiency anemia in
the experimental group, was statistically and significantly higher than that of the control group (x2 = 7.069, p-value = .008, x2 = 4.581 p-value =.032). Thus, programs can be applied to nursing practice for teenage pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia, especially pregnant women in urban areas.
