Background: Anemia in pregnant women is still a health problem that can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. One non-drug effort to help boost hemoglobin levels is consuming California papaya, which is rich in vitamin C and can improve iron absorption from Fe tablets. Research Purpose: To find out the effectiveness of giving California papaya and iron tablets on increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia in the working area of Piyungan Health Center. Research Method: This study is a quantitative study with a preexperimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study population consists of all pregnant women with anemia in the first to third trimester in the Piyungan Health Center working area, totaling 18 respondents. The sampling technique used is total sampling. The intervention involved giving 150 grams of California papaya once a day for 5 days along with taking iron tablets. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention using a digital Hb meter. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Research Results: The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test results showed an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.025 (p<0.05), indicating that there is a significant effect of giving California papaya and Fe tablets on increasing hemoglobin levels in anemic pregnant women. Conclusion: Giving California papaya combined with Fe tablets is effective in increasing hemoglobin levels in anemic pregnant women in the working area of Piyungan Health Center. This intervention can be used as a nonpharmacological adjunct therapy in the prevention and management of anemia in pregnant women.
