Abstract
Research conducted at Jakarta Harbor Hospital in 2024 aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of dragon fruit in increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with mild anemia. Anemia is a common condition at the hospital, affecting around 30% of pregnant women in 2022. The study involved 36 third-trimester pregnant women with anemia. Hemoglobin levels were measured using a digital Hb meter (Quick Check), blood lancet, and strip. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods. The paired sample t-test was applied if the data followed a normal distribution, while the Wilcoxon test was used for non-normal distributions. After 14 days of administering dragon fruit, the study found an average increase in hemoglobin levels of 0.538 g/dL. This indicates that dragon fruit is effective in raising hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with mild anemia.
