Abstract

Iron-deficiency anemia remains a critical public health issue among adolescent girls, particularly in rural areas with limited access to nutrition education and supplementation. Red guava (Psidium guajava L.) and dates (Phoenix dactylifera) are known to contain vitamin C and iron, respectively, which are essential for hemoglobin synthesis. This study aims to evaluate the effect of consuming pudding made from red guava and dates on hemoglobin (Hb) levels in female adolescents with anemia in Lebakadi Village, Lamongan Regency. A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was used involving 60 adolescent girls aged 14–17 years. Participants were divided into an intervention group (n=30) receiving 100g/day of guava-date pudding for 14 days and a comparison group (n=30) receiving placebo pudding. Hb levels were measured pre- and post-intervention using a digital hemoglobinometer. Data were analyzed with paired and independent sample t-tests (p<0.05). The treatment group showed a significant increase in mean Hb levels from 10.43±0.31 g/dL to 12.00±0.55 g/dL (p=0.000), while the comparison group showed no significant change (11.45±0.25 g/dL to 11.47±0.27 g/dL, p=0.229). No adverse effects were reported. Guava-date pudding significantly improves Hb levels in anemic adolescent girls. This intervention is culturally appropriate, well-accepted, and effective as a non-pharmacological strategy. The findings support the implementation of food-based anemia prevention programs in schools and rural health posts. Future research should involve a larger, more diverse sample and include additional biomarkers such as ferritin and TIBC.

Abstract

Menarche is a crucial phase in the reproductive development of adolescent girls, often accompanied by anxiety and psychological unpreparedness due to a lack of adequate information and education. Peer education is an effective approach to improving adolescents' understanding and emotional readiness for their first menstruation. This study aims to analyze the influence of peer education on psychological readiness for menarche among female students in the Ibu Community Health Center (Puskesmas Ibu) in West Halmahera Regency. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 30 pre-menarcheal female students selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was a psychological readiness questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results showed an increase in psychological readiness scores from an average pretest of 7.03 to 11.20 in the posttest. A total of 86.7% of respondents experienced an increase in readiness, while 13.3% remained stable, and none experienced a decrease. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value <0.05, indicating a significant influence of peer education on psychological readiness for menarche. This study concludes that peer education is an effective, affordable, and relevant educational strategy to improve the psychological readiness of adolescent girls in facing menarche, especially in areas with limited access to reproductive information.

Abstract

Early pregnancy remains a significant maternal health issue due to the increased risk of obstetric complications that impact the safety of both mother and baby. Adolescents who experience pregnancy generally have limitations in biological, psychological, and access to health services, thus requiring special attention in efforts to prevent complications. This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with childbirth complications in early pregnancy women in the Marisa Community Health Center working area. The study used a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach on 30 respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and medical record review, then analyzed using the Fisher Exact Test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that five variables had a significant relationship with childbirth complications, namely antenatal care visits (p = 0.047), education (p = 0.041), parity (p = 0.039), husband's support (p = 0.021), and history of pregnancy diseases (p = 0.009). Meanwhile, gestational age did not show a significant relationship (p = 0.314). This study concludes that childbirth complications in young mothers are a multifactorial phenomenon influenced by both medical and social factors. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening antenatal care, reproductive health education interventions, and increasing family support to improve birth safety in high-risk groups.
