Background: Anemia is a public health problem among adolescent girls in Indonesia, with a prevalence reaching 32%. Iron supplementation programs have been implemented, but compliance remains low. Knowledge about anemia is thought to influence adherence to iron supplementation. Objective: To analyze the relationship between knowledge about anemia and compliance in consuming iron tablets in adolescent girls at the Bonepantai Community Health Center. Methods: This quantitative study with a cross-sectional design involved 30 adolescent girls aged 12-19 years selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering knowledge about anemia and adherence to iron supplement consumption. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The majority of respondents were aged 15-17 years (50.0%) and had a high school education (60.0%). The level of knowledge was good at 43.3%, sufficient at 33.3%, and poor at 23.4%. Compliance with iron supplement consumption was 46.7% and non-compliance at 53.3%. The results of the Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between knowledge about anemia and iron supplement compliance (p=0.013; χ²=8.742). Respondents with good knowledge had higher compliance (76.9%) compared to respondents with poor knowledge (14.3%). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between knowledge about anemia and adherence to iron supplementation in adolescent girls. Intensifying comprehensive and sustainable health education programs is needed to improve knowledge and adherence to iron supplementation as an effort to prevent anemia.

Background: Anxiety in the third trimester of pregnancy is a common mental health problem that can negatively impact both maternal and fetal health. At Palingkau Community Health Center, the prevalence of anxiety in pregnant women reached 35%, higher than the national average of 30%. Prenatal exercise is believed to be a non-pharmacological intervention to reduce anxiety in pregnant women. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between the application of pregnancy exercises and the anxiety levels of pregnant women in the third trimester at Palingkau Community Health Center. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. The study population was all third-trimester pregnant women who underwent prenatal check-ups at the Palingkau Community Health Center between January and March 2023. The study sample consisted of 30 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instruments were a demographic characteristics questionnaire and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) to measure anxiety levels. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The results of the study showed that of the 15 pregnant women who did prenatal exercises, 73.3% experienced mild anxiety, 20% moderate anxiety, and 6.7% severe anxiety. Meanwhile, of the 15 pregnant women who did not do prenatal exercises, only 20% experienced mild anxiety, 53.3% moderate anxiety, and 26.7% severe anxiety. The Chi-Square test showed a p value = 0.013 (p < 0.05), which means there is a significant relationship between the implementation of prenatal exercises and the level of anxiety of pregnant women in the third trimester. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the implementation of prenatal exercise and the anxiety levels of pregnant women in the third trimester at the Palingkau Community Health Center. Pregnant women who regularly perform prenatal exercise tend to have lower anxiety levels. Prenatal exercise can be an effective intervention in managing anxiety in pregnant women and should be integrated into antenatal care programs.

Background: Anemia is a global health problem affecting over 1.62 billion people worldwide. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women reaches 48.9%. A 2022 survey by the Indonesian Ministry of Health showed that only 30% of prospective brides and grooms had adequate knowledge about anemia and its impact on reproductive health. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge of prospective brides and grooms about anemia and compliance with consuming Fe tablets in the DKI Jakarta area. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted on 30 prospective brides and grooms selected using purposive sampling technique. The inclusion criteria were 20-35 years old, never experienced severe anemia, and had access to health education programs on anemia. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The majority of respondents were aged 20-35 years (70.0%), had a high school education (40.0%), and worked as housewives (40.0%). The level of knowledge of respondents showed a good category of 46.7%, sufficient 33.3%, and less than 20.0%. Compliance with consumption of Fe tablets showed 60.0% compliant and 40.0% non-compliant. The results of the Chi-Square test showed a p-value = 0.007 (p < 0.05), which means there is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge about anemia and compliance with consumption of Fe tablets. Respondents with good knowledge had high compliance (85.7%), sufficient knowledge had 50.0% compliance, while only 16.7% were compliant with poor knowledge. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between the level of knowledge of anemia among prospective brides and grooms and grooms and their adherence to iron tablet consumption (p = 0.007). It is recommended to improve systematic and sustainable health education programs, develop technology-based monitoring systems, involve couples and families in educational programs, and provide comprehensive counseling on managing the side effects of iron tablets

Regular Antenatal Care (ANC) visits are crucial for maintaining maternal and fetal health, but in remote areas, access to health information is often limited. The Maternal and Child Health Handbook is an alternative educational medium, though its effectiveness depends on pregnant women's interest in reading the book. This study aimed to identify the relationship between interest in reading the Maternal and Child Health Handbook and the regularity of ANC visits among pregnant women in remote areas of the Panaan Community Health Center (UPT). The study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A purposive sampling technique selected 30 pregnant women as respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering respondent characteristics, knowledge of pregnancy health, interest in reading the handbook, and ANC visit data. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed, with the Chi-Square test used for the latter. The results showed that 53.3% of respondents had a positive interest in reading the handbook, and 60% made regular ANC visits. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between reading interest and ANC visit regularity (χ²=10.24; p=0.001). Of the 16 women interested in reading, 87.5% made regular ANC visits, compared to only 28.6% of those without interest. In conclusion, pregnant women with higher interest in reading the Maternal and Child Health Handbook are more likely to make regular ANC visits, highlighting the need for efforts to increase reading interest through education and support.
