Abstract

Anemia in pregnant women is still a major health problem that is at risk of causing complications of childbirth and low birth weight (BBLR). One of the factors causing it is the low compliance of pregnant women in consuming Fe (Blood Supplement) tablets. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and compliance of pregnant women in consuming Fe tablets through structured education. The program was held on March 29, 2024 in Ladang Bambu Village, Medan Tuntungan District, with interactive counseling methods, demonstrations of correct consumption methods, and group discussions. The results of the evaluation showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge of the importance of iron for fetal health as well as an improvement in attitudes in maintaining discipline in consuming Fe tablets. This education is expected to be able to reduce the prevalence of anemia in the work area of Ladang Bambu Village and support the health of the mother and fetus optimally.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is a crucial step in fulfilling basic nutrition for children to reduce infant morbidity and mortality. However, the achievement of Exclusive Breastfeeding in Sipultak Dolok Village, Pagaran District, is still not optimal due to the low level of knowledge of breastfeeding mothers, the influence of cultural myths, and lack of access to accurate information. This community service activity aims to increase the understanding of breastfeeding mothers and families about lactation management and the importance of exclusive breastfeeding to support healthy child growth and development and prevent stunting. The intervention was carried out by a team from STIKes Darmo Medan through direct counseling and education methods to breastfeeding mothers and families in Sipultak Dolok Village on April 17, 2023. The results of the activity showed an increase in enthusiasm and understanding of the community after being given education. In conclusion, a structured educational approach is very effective in changing people's mindset to switch from the habit of early supplemental feeding to proper exclusive breastfeeding, in order to realize a quality generation.
