Abstract

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is still a major nutritional and public health problem among young CHILDREN in developing countries. Anemia during childhood is known to be linked with impaired mental and cognitive development and learning capacity. Daily oral supplementation with iron is considered to be an effective strategy for reducing IDA but non - compliance is a major problem with this strategy. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive study on 400 MOTHERs who had 6-24month old CHILDREN which was performed at health centers of Arak in 1383. Data was analyzed with SPSS and p<0.05 was considered meaningful. Results: 10% of infants didn't take IRON DROPS, and regular and irregular consumption was 33.3% and 56.8% respectively. The mean (with 95% CI) KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE of MOTHERs was 33.2 (32.7-33.7) from 70, 25.2 (24.8 - 25.6) from 40 score. 68.8% MOTHERs had begun the drops in appropriate age. 72.3% gave it in appropriate amounts and only 3.3% had appropriate method of giving the drops. Conclusion: The most common causes of irregular consumption were poor acceptance (40.5%), vomiting after consuming (16.5%) and forgetting to give the drug. Regarding the results of this study, unpleasant taste and it,s complications as well as inappropriate KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE and PRACTICE of MOTHERs were important causes of irregular use of ferrous sulfate drops.
