Abstract

Anemia is a clinical condition characterized by a reduced number of erythrocytes, so that the blood's ability to distribute oxygen to body tissues is not optimally fulfilled. According to the World Health Organization (2023), approximately 30% of women aged 15–49 years (around 571 million) and 40% of children aged 6–59 months (269 million) are affected by iron deficiency anemia. The risk of anemia increases with advancing gestational age, particularly among women from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The prevalence of anemia in Indonesian pregnant women has reached 48.9% in 2020, approaching the threshold for a severe public health problem (≥40%). This study was conducted at Nayaka Husada Clinic, Duri, in March 2026, aiming to determine the distribution of ABO blood group systems among pregnant women with anemia. The study subjects consisted of 20 capillary blood samples analyzed using the Easytouch Hb device. The results indicated that 2 respondents (10%) had normal hemoglobin levels, while 18 respondents (90%) exhibited decreased hemoglobin levels. The distribution of anemia cases based on blood groups revealed that blood group B had the highest proportion, with 8 individuals (40%). This was followed by blood group O with 6 individuals (30%) and blood group A with 5 individuals (25%). The lowest proportion was observed in blood group AB, with only 1 individual (5%). These findings suggest that the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women is higher in individuals with blood group B.

Abstract

Gastritis and gastroenteritis are gastrointestinal infectious diseases that remain significant public health concerns, particularly in areas where Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS), personal hygiene, and environmental sanitation have not been optimally implemented. Gastritis is commonly associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, whereas gastroenteritis is often caused by pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli. Limited public knowledge regarding the causes, modes of transmission, risk factors, and preventive measures for these diseases may increase the risk of infection. Therefore, this Community Service Program aimed to improve public knowledge and awareness of gastritis and gastroenteritis prevention through the introduction of Helicobacter pylori and Escherichia coli. The activity involved 30 participants and was conducted through health education sessions, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and the use of educational media, including posters and leaflets. The effectiveness of the program was evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure participants' knowledge before and after the educational intervention. The results showed that the mean knowledge score increased from 61.3 (moderate category) in the pre-test to 91.7 (very good category) in the post-test. These findings indicate that the educational intervention was effective in improving participants' understanding of the causes, transmission routes, symptoms, risk factors, and preventive measures for gastritis and gastroenteritis through the implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS), proper hygiene, environmental sanitation, and food safety practices. This community service activity is expected to enhance public health literacy and encourage sustainable healthy behaviors to prevent gastrointestinal infectious diseases.
