Abstract

The low knowledge of postpartum mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding at the Pahandut PHC was identified as the suspected root cause. This quantitative descriptive study aimed to map the overview of the knowledge level of postpartum mothers regarding exclusive breastfeeding in the area. The study employed a cross-sectional approach using a total sampling technique on 55 postpartum mothers at the Pahandut PHC. Primary data were collected using a 21-item questionnaire and analyzed univariately. The results showed that the respondents’ knowledge levels were distributed across ‘sufficient’ (n = 28; 50.90%), ‘good’ (n = 16; 29.10%), and ‘poor’ (n = 11; 20.00%). The majority of mothers with sufficient knowledge were aged 20–25 years (69.09%), had 2–4 children (53.33%), had secondary education (66.67%), were unemployed (54.00%), did not receive family support (47.06%), and received health worker support (47.73%). Urgent interventions are required to correct specific misconceptions and retrain support providers, both families and health workers, to increase exclusive breastfeeding coverage.

Abstract

The administration of basic immunization constitutes a fundamental public health intervention in mitigating infant morbidity and mortality rates associated with Vaccine-Preventable Diseases (VPDs). Despite its pivotal role, the achievement of Universal Child Immunization (UCI) in Palangka Raya City remains fluctuating and consistently falls below national targets. This study aims to comprehensively describe the determinants influencing the status of basic immunization completeness among infants at the Independent Midwifery Practice (IMP) “W” in Palangka Raya City. A descriptive quantitative research design with an observational approach was employed. The sample consisted of 53 respondents drawn from the population using the Slovin formula, with primary data collection conducted through a calibrated questionnaire exhibiting a high reliability coefficient (Cronbach’s Alpha 0.86). Data were processed using univariate statistical analysis to describe frequency distributions and proportions. The results revealed that 62.26% of infants had received complete immunization, while the remaining 37.74% were incomplete. Significant findings indicated that respondents with tertiary education, income exceeding the Regional Minimum Wage (UMP), and those with “Good” knowledge, attitude, and practice categories achieved an absolute completeness rate of 100.00%. Conversely, adolescent mothers (< 20 years) and those with primary education showed a 100.00% incompleteness rate. Geographical accessibility within a radius of < 1 km recorded higher completeness (73.68%) compared to a radius of > 2 km (55.88%), while the Dayak ethnicity demonstrated the highest completeness rate (83.33%). The study concludes that economic factors, education levels, physical accessibility, and maternal knowledge and attitudes are decisive determinants in achieving immunization status. Policy implications are directed toward strengthening personalized education and active home-visit service strategies to eliminate spatial and sociocultural barriers at the primary healthcare level.

Abstract

Abstrak: Remaja putri (rematri) memiliki risiko sepuluh kali lebih besar menderita anemia dibandingkan remaja putra. Apabila anemia tidak ditangani sejak dini, maka risiko anemia pada masa kehamilan akan meningkat. Kondisi ini berpotensi menyebabkan komplikasi serius seperti kematian akibat perdarahan, berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR), kelainan bawaan pada bayi, serta meningkatkan risiko anak mengalami stunting. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan memberikan pelayanan kesehatan dan meningkatkan pengetahuan remaja putri tentang anemia. Pelaksanaan kegiatan meliputi pemeriksaan kesehatan dan penyuluhan persuasif-edukatif melalui media video edukatif bertema “Cegah Anemia pada Rematri,” dengan jumlah peserta sebanyak 30 remaja putri. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pretest dan posttest untuk mengukur peningkatan pengetahuan. Hasil menunjukkan rata-rata nilai pengetahuan peserta sebelum edukasi sebesar 79,03 dan meningkat menjadi 89,00 setelah diberikan video edukatif. Hal ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman remaja putri tentang anemia setelah intervensi. Hasil pemeriksaan kesehatan memperlihatkan sebagian besar remaja putri tidak mengalami anemia, namun masih terdapat beberapa yang mengalami anemia sedang dan berat. Mayoritas peserta memiliki Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) normal dan tidak mengalami kekurangan energi kronis (KEK). Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, peserta yang mengalami masalah kesehatan diberikan penyuluhan lanjutan serta distribusi tablet tambah darah (TTD). Kegiatan ini membuktikan bahwa media video edukatif efektif digunakan sebagai alternatif media pendidikan kesehatan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan remaja putri tentang anemia.. Kemudian terdapat peningkatan rata-rata nilai pengetahuan remaja sebelum dan sesudah diberikan pendidikan kesehatan menggunakan media video edukatif sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa video edukatif edukasi anemia pada rematri remaja putri dapat menjadi alternatif pilihan media edukasi kesehatan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan remaja putri tentang anemia pada remaja putri.Abstract: Adolescent girls are ten times more likely to suffer from anemia than adolescent boys. If anemia is not treated early on, the risk of anemia during pregnancy will increase. This condition has the potential to cause serious complications such as death from bleeding, low birth weight (LBW), congenital abnormalities in babies, and an increased risk of stunting in children. This community service activity aims to provide health services and increase adolescent girls' knowledge about anemia. The activity includes health checks and persuasive-educational counseling through educational videos themed “Prevent Anemia in Adolescent Girls,” with 30 adolescent girls participating. Evaluation is conducted through pre-tests and post-tests to measure knowledge improvement. The results showed that the average knowledge score of the participants before the education was 79.03 and increased to 89.00 after the educational video was shown. This indicates an increase in adolescent girls' understanding of anemia after the intervention. The health examination results showed that most of the adolescent girls did not have anemia, but there were still some who had moderate and severe anemia. The majority of participants had a normal Body Mass Index (BMI) and did not suffer from chronic energy deficiency (CED). Based on these results, participants who had health problems were given further counseling and iron tablets (TTD). This activity proved that educational videos are effective as an alternative health education medium for increasing adolescent girls' knowledge about anemia.

Abstract

Anemia defisiensi besi masih menjadi salah satu masalah kesehatan global yang signifikan, terutama pada remaja putri yang rentan akibat pertumbuhan yang pesat dan kehilangan darah selama menstruasi. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan edukasi gizi, konsumsi Tablet Tambah Darah (TTD), dan pemeriksaan kadar hemoglobin sebagai upaya pencegahan anemia pada remaja putri. Program ini melibatkan 30 siswi SMK Kesehatan Borneo Bakti Husada Palangka Raya sebagai peserta. Metode yang digunakan meliputi edukasi kesehatan dengan media visual, diskusi interaktif, pendampingan partisipatif, evaluasi melalui pre-test dan post-test, serta pemeriksaan kadar hemoglobin. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan yang signifikan, dari 78% pada pre-test menjadi 94,7% pada post-test, atau meningkat sebesar 16,7%. Namun demikian, hasil pemeriksaan hemoglobin menunjukkan bahwa 33,3% peserta masih mengalami anemia (kadar hemoglobin <12 g/dL). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa intervensi yang terintegrasi melalui edukasi, pemberian Tablet Tambah Darah (TTD), dan pemeriksaan hemoglobin efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan sekaligus mendeteksi secara dini risiko anemia pada remaja putri. Dengan demikian, optimalisasi edukasi gizi, kepatuhan mengonsumsi Tablet Tambah Darah (TTD), serta pemantauan kadar hemoglobin secara berkala dapat meningkatkan kesadaran remaja putri dan berkontribusi terhadap upaya pencegahan anemia di lingkungan sekolah. Iron deficiency anemia remains a significant global health problem, particularly among adolescent girls who are vulnerable due to rapid growth and menstrual blood loss. This community service aimed to optimize nutrition education, iron supplementation (iron tablets/TTD) consumption, and hemoglobin examination to prevent anemia among adolescent girls. The program targeted 30 female students at SMK Kesehatan Borneo Bakti Husada Palangka Raya. The methods included health education using visual media, interactive discussions, participatory assistance, pre-test and post-test evaluation, and hemoglobin screening. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, from 78% in the pre-test to 94.7% in the post-test, indicating a 16.7% improvement. However, hemoglobin examination revealed that 33.3% of participants were still anemic (<12 g/dL). These findings suggest that integrated interventions combining education, supplementation, and screening are effective in improving knowledge and early detection of anemia risk. In conclusion, optimizing nutrition education, adherence to iron supplementation, and regular hemoglobin monitoring can enhance adolescent girls’ awareness and contribute to anemia prevention in school settings

Abstract

Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to anemia due to inadequate iron intake, increased physiological demands, and menstrual blood loss. Limited knowledge and unfavorable attitudes toward anemia prevention further exacerbate this problem. Mobile health (m-Health) interventions offer a promising approach to delivering health education tailored to adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Anemia Rematri m-Health application in improving knowledge and attitudes regarding anemia among adolescent girls. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design was conducted among 108 adolescent girls enrolled in private vocational secondary schools in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Participants were allocated to either an intervention group (n = 54), which received education through the Anemia Rematri application, or a control group (n = 54), which received educational booklets. Knowledge and attitudes toward anemia were assessed before and after the intervention. The findings revealed significant differences between the intervention and control groups in both knowledge (p < 0.001) and attitudes (p < 0.001). The mean increase in knowledge scores was higher in the intervention group (68.67) than in the control group (40.37). Likewise, the intervention group demonstrated a greater improvement in attitude scores (67.35) compared with the control group (41.65). These findings suggest that the Anemia Rematri m-Health application may contribute to improvements in anemia-related knowledge and attitudes among adolescent girls. The application has the potential to become an innovative strategy for strengthening anemia prevention efforts, particularly through integration into the School Health Program (Usaha Kesehatan Sekolah [UKS]), school-based health promotion initiatives, and digital iron supplementation programs.
