It also measured the impact of a health education program on their level of knowledge and their infants\u2019 IDA rates in rural areas of Nablus Governorate. Using a randomized pretest\u2013posttest control group design, the efficacy of 3\u2009months\u2019 education program was examined against control group. Assessments were made at baseline and after 3\u2009months of conducting the intervention. A structured interviewing questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge about IDA, and blood samples were collected from infants in both groups. Only 1.9% of mothers in the intervention group and 3.5% of mothers in the control group had good level of knowledge at baseline. After the educational intervention, a significant statistical difference was observed in the mean total knowledge score between the intervention and control groups (33.68\u2009+\u20095.366 versus 26.12\u2009+\u20095.243), and the intervention group was seven times more likely to have good knowledge (relative risk\u2009=\u20097.332). Regarding IDA rate, there was a decrease in the infants with IDA in the intervention group (relative risk\u2009=\u20090.671) compared to infants in the control group. The planned health education program was effective in improving mothers\u2019 knowledge and reducing the risk of IDA among their infants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/her\/cyae004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,2]],"date-time":"2024-02-02T18:39:42Z","timestamp":1706899182000},"page":"254-261","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Impact of educational intervention on mothers of infants with iron-deficiency anemia"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Rania","family":"Abu Alhaija","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, An Najah National University , Nablus, West Bank 7,","place":["Palestine"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ali Abdel Halim","family":"Hasab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, High Institute of Public Health, Alexandria University , 165 El-Horreya Ave. El-Hadara, Alexandria,","place":["Egypt"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nessrin","family":"Ahmed El-Nimr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, High Institute of Public Health, Alexandria University , 165 El-Horreya Ave. El-Hadara, Alexandria,","place":["Egypt"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dalia Ibrahim","family":"Tayel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, High Institute of Public Health, Alexandria University , 165 El-Horreya Ave. El-Hadara, Alexandria,","place":["Egypt"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024093006480709200_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"615","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2013-06-508325","article-title":"A systematic analysis of global anemia burden from 1990 to 2010","volume":"123","author":"Kassebaum","year":"2014","journal-title":"Blood"},{"key":"2024093006480709200_R2","article-title":"Recommendations to prevent and control iron deficiency in the United States","volume":"47","year":"1998","journal-title":"MMWR Recom Rep"},{"key":"2024093006480709200_R3","volume-title":"Global Health Risk: Mortality and Burden of Disease Attributable to Selected Major Risks","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2009"},{"key":"2024093006480709200_R4","article-title":"Guidelines for Control of Iron Deficiency Anemia","author":"Adolescent Division, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India","year":"2013"},{"key":"2024093006480709200_R5","volume-title":"Preventing and Controlling Iron Deficiency Anemia through Primary Health Care: A Guide for Health Administrators and Programme Managers","author":"DeMaeyer","year":"1989"},{"key":"2024093006480709200_R6","article-title":"Iron-deficiency anemia in children [Internet]","author":"Abdullah","year":"2011"},{"key":"2024093006480709200_R7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"158","DOI":"10.1016\/j.spen.2006.08.004","article-title":"Iron deficiency and brain development","volume":"13","author":"Lozoff","year":"2006","journal-title":"Semin Pediatr Neurol"},{"key":"2024093006480709200_R8","article-title":"A Critical Link.
