In 2020, anemia cases in Grobogan Regency increased by 15,74%. This study aims to identify the factors influencing pregnant women's compliance with consuming blood supplement tablets. A cross-sectional analytical observational study was conducted involving 91 respondents who met the inclusion criteria at Puskesmas Gabus 1. The variables studied included knowledge, motivation, family support, and the role of health workers. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through univariate, bivariate, and multivariable methods. The results revealed that 61,5% of respondents had insufficient knowledge and motivation, while family support and the role of health workers were relatively high at 59,3% and 86,3%, respectively.
