Empowering families can enhance their ability to detect high-risk pregnancies early, which can improve the health status of pregnant women. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the family empowerment model on the hemoglobin levels of pregnant women. It employed a quasi-experimental method with a cross-sectional study approach, implementing a family empowerment intervention to examine its impact on the health of pregnant women. Sampling was conducted using probability sampling with simple random sampling, resulting in 60 pregnant women divided equally into an intervention group and a control group. The independent variable was the family empowerment model intervention, and the dependent variable was the hemoglobin level of the pregnant women. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed with the Wilcoxon test statistic, which indicated a significant effect (p=0.000) of the family empowerment model on the hemoglobin levels of pregnant women. The statistical analysis revealed that the intervention group’s hemoglobin levels showed a significant difference (p<0.05) before and after the intervention. In summary, the treatment involving the family empowerment model significantly affected the hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. After the intervention, nearly all respondents demonstrated increased family involvement in maintaining and caring for pregnant women, facilitating the early detection of high-risk pregnancies, and contributing to increased hemoglobin levels among these women.
