Brief summary

The goal of this to measure the effect of supplementation of Yellow Pumpkin Seed Extract Capsules in pregnant women on hemoglobin levels and nutritional status of pregnant women. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * is there a difference in changes in nutritional status (increase in body weight and MUAC) in pregnant women who receive supplementation of Pumpkin Seed Extract Capsules and iron tablets * is there a difference in changes in hemoglobin levels in pregnant women who receive supplementation of Pumpkin Seed Extract Capsules and iron tablets. The research sample was divided into two groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. In the intervention group, pregnant women received pumpkin seed extract capsules for 12 weeks, while the control group received iron tablets for 12 weeks as well. Measurements of nutritional status (including measurements of body weight and Mid Upper Arm Circumference/MUAC) were carried out before and after the intervention and were monitored every month until 12 weeks when the intervention was carried out. As for measuring blood hemoglobin levels, it was taken before the intervention and after the intervention for 12 weeks

Detailed description

This study was designed with an experimental method using a randomized double blind with a control group. The research sample was divided into two groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. In the intervention group, pregnant women received pumpkin seed extract capsules for 12 weeks, while the control group received iron tablets for 12 weeks as well. Measurements of nutritional status (including measurements of body weight and Mid Upper Arm Circumference/MUAC) were carried out before and after the intervention and were monitored every month until 12 weeks when the intervention was carried out. As for measuring blood hemoglobin levels, it was taken before the intervention and after the intervention for 12 weeks. The research will be conducted in the village of the stunting locus, Bone Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS, where to see the difference between the intervention group and the contro group, a paired t test was used if the data was normally distributed and an alternative test if the data was not normally distributed.
