Folic acid consumption by pregnant women prior to and during pregnancy
Citation
Læknablaðið 2002, 88(3):215-219
Abstract
Objective: To study consumption of folic acid supplements by women before conception and during pregnancy. Concurrently, the incidence of planned pregnancy and the women's knowledge of the preventive value of folic acid was investigated. Material and methods: A questionnaire was presented to all 128 pregnant women attending a maternal clinic in rural area during one month's period. The aim was to reveal the women's knowledge of folic acid and its use prior to conception and during pregnancy. Demographic information were collected and questions designed to reveal whether the pregnancy was planned or not, was included. The distribution within the sample was calculated. Results: The questionnaire was completed by 113 women (88.3%). Nine per cent had taken folic acid regularly before pregnancy. Women who had taken folic acid on a regular basis during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy were 40.7%. The current pregnancy had been planned in 62.9% cases. None of the women in the youngest age group of 15-19 years had planned their pregnancy. Advice regarding folic acid intake before pregnancy was not given in 68.1% of cases. Conclusions: Health education regarding the beneficial effect of folic acid must be directed equally towards the providers of health care and the general public. This education must be aimed at all women capable of becoming pregnant, not only at those planning pregnancy. The knowledge of health care providers and the general public about the preventive value of folic acid is important in order to reduce the risk of pregnancies affected by neural tube defects.
Tilgangur: Fólasínnotkun kvenna fyrir þungun og á meðgöngu var könnuð. Jafnframt var athuguð tíðni fyrirfram ákveðinna þungana og þekking kvenna varðandi forvarnargildi fólasíns. Efniviður og aðferðir: Notast var við megindlega aðferðafræði og spurningalistar notaðir. Gögnum var safnað um lýðfræðilegar upplýsingar, hvort þungun væri fyrirfram ákveðin eða ekki, fólasínnotkun fyrir þungun og á meðgöngu og vitneskja kvenna varðandi forvarnargildi fólasíns könnuð. SPSS tölfræðiforrit var notað til að greina gögnin. Rannsóknin náði til allra kvenna sem komu á eins mánaðar tímabili í mæðravernd á Heilsugæslustöðina á Akureyri, alls 128 konur. Niðurstöður: Alls svöruðu 113 konur spurningalistanum (88,3%). 9,7% kvennanna tóku fólasín reglulega fyrir þungun. Konur sem tóku fólasín daglega fyrstu 12 vikur eftir þungun voru 40,7%. Þungun var fyrirfram ákveðin hjá 62,9% kvenna. Engar konur í yngsta aldurshópnum, 15-19 ára, ákváðu þungun fyrirfram. Ráðleggingar varðandi töku fólasíns fyrir þungun voru ekki veittar í 68,1% tilfella. Ályktun: Fræðsla varðandi gagnsemi fólasíns þarf að beinast jafnt að heilbrigðisstarfsfólki sem og almenningi. Fræðslan þarf að beinast að öllum konum á barneignaaldri, ekki eingöngu þeim sem fyrirfram ráðgera þungun. Vitneskja almennings og heilbrigðisstarfsfólks um forvarnargildi fólasíns er mikilvæg ef minnka á líkur á því að börn fæðist með miðtaugakerfisgalla.
