Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2012, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
<b>Aim.</b> The aim of this study was to assess knowledge about rich sources of vitamins and minerals in pregnant women from Kraków.<br><b>Material and methods.</b> Questionnaires on the knowledge about rich sources of vitamins and minerals were filled in by 115 pregnant women who were admitted to Gabriel Narutowicz City Specialist<b> </b>Hospital in Kraków. Statistical analysis was carried out by means of the IBM SPSS Statistics 19. The studied population was divided according to the trimester of pregnancy.<br><b>Results.</b> Statistically significant differences were found for the answers to seven questions. The women in the second trimester of pregnancy gave the most correct answers to as many as six of these questions, as well as to the remaining questions, statistically insignificant.<br><b>Conclusions. </b>The level of nutritional knowledge in the studied pregnant women was varied and similar to the level observed in the populations studied previously. Most probably, the major factor which influences nutritional knowledge of pregnant women is not education, but the duration of pregnancy, the necessity to adapt to new conditions, and whether the pregnancy had been planned.
