Abstract
El siguiente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre el nivel de conocimiento sobre el sulfato ferroso y la adherencia al tratamiento de la anemia en niños menores de 8 años en el distrito de Huayhuay, durante el año 2025. La metodología fue de tipo observacional, prospectiva, con un diseño no experimental y de corte transversal. Resultados: Predominaron madres de 26 a 35 años y niños con anemia leve (57.2%). El cumplimiento del tratamiento fue favorable (46.6%), destacando el respeto por dosis y horarios; no obstante, la dificultad en la ingesta (39.1%). Conclusión: Existe una relación significativa entre el conocimiento materno y el cumplimiento del tratamiento. Pese a la buena adherencia en dosis, el abandono es frecuente por dificultades de ingesta; es vital reforzar la educación sanitaria para garantizar el éxito terapéutico infantil.
