The research instruments used were Health Education SAP and SOP for Midwife Assistance and compliance checklist sheets. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test non-parametric statistical test. The results showed p = 0.00 (p <0.05), so it could be interpreted that there was an influence of health education and midwifery assistance on pregnant women's compliance in consuming iron tablets at the Turen Health Center. The implementation of health education and midwife assistance can have an impact on pregnant women's compliance.
