Abstract

Anemia is a condition in which red blood cells decrease so that the oxygen carrying capacity for the needs of vital organs in the mother and fetus are reduced. One type of legume that contains high iron is green beans (Vigna radiata). Green beans are very beneficial for the health of pregnant women.The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between green bean extract and hemoglobin levels in third trimester pregnant women to  increase in hemoglobin levels. This research method employed qouta sampling using one group pretest-postest design design. Data analysis used univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using Chi-Square test with a significance level of p <0.05. The samples in this study were pregnant women in the third trimester with inclusion criteria with a total of 8 respondents. The results obtained that among the 8 respondents of the third trimester pregnant women given green bean juice 1 ounce/day, 7 of them experienced increased hemoglobin level (87.5%), while the remaining one did not increase (12.5%). The results of the bivariate analysis obtained p value = 0.354, this means that the p value <0.05, thus there was a significant relationship between the administration of mung bean juice and hemoglobin levels in third trimester pregnant women.
