Abstract

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a cluster of physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms frequently experienced by adolescent girls before menstruation, with prevalence in Indonesia estimated to reach 50-80%. Adolescent girls' attitudes toward managing PMS remain varied and largely suboptimal due to limited structured reproductive health education, including in religious-based schools. This study aims to determine the effect of social media-based peer counseling on adolescent girls' attitudes toward PMS at MAS Al Washliyah 22 Tembung, North Sumatra Province. The study used a quasi-experimental one group pretest-posttest design without a control group. The sample size was calculated using the Slovin formula and selected through simple random sampling. The research instrument was a Likert-scale attitude questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test due to non-normal data distribution. Illustrative results show an increase in the proportion of the good attitude category from 20.0% to 65.0% after the intervention, with a p-value = 0.000 (p 0.05). These findings indicate that social media-based peer counseling has the potential to become an effective reproductive health education strategy relevant to the digital characteristics of today's adolescents.Keywords: peer counseling, social media, attitude, premenstrual syndrome, adolescent girls

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) remains a major public health problem because it contributes substantially to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Maternal factors, including age, nutritional status, and anemia, are considered important determinants of fetal growth and birth weight. This study aimed to analyze the association between maternal age, nutritional status, and anemia with the occurrence of low birth weight at Haji General Hospital Medan. A quantitative analytical study with a case-control design was conducted using secondary data obtained from medical records of mothers who delivered between January and December 2025. The study included 64 respondents, consisting of 32 mothers who delivered infants with low birth weight (cases) and 32 mothers who delivered infants with normal birth weight (controls). Cases were selected using total sampling, whereas controls were selected through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The results showed that maternal age (<20 or >35 years) was significantly associated with low birth weight (OR = 4.259; 95% CI = 1.488–12.192; p = 0.006). Abnormal maternal body mass index (BMI <18.5 or ≥25 kg/m²) was also significantly associated with low birth weight (OR = 5.952; 95% CI = 1.977–17.920; p = 0.001), while maternal anemia increased the likelihood of low birth weight (OR = 3.645; 95% CI = 1.299–10.226; p = 0.012). Maternal age, nutritional status, and anemia were significantly associated with low birth weight. Strengthening antenatal care through early risk assessment, nutritional monitoring, and anemia prevention is essential to reduce the incidence of low birth weight..
