Abstract

Anemia in adolescent girls (rematri) is a serious health problem that affects academic performance and increases the risk of anemia during pregnancy, potentially disrupting fetal growth and development. The government is trying to address this by providing iron tablets to all adolescent girls to meet their iron intake. This study aims to analyze the effect of using iron tablet consumption monitoring cards on increasing hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls at SMPN 03 Sadaniang, Mempawah Regency. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method and a pre- and post-test design without a control group. The sampling technique used was total sampling on 31 adolescent girls. The results showed an increase in hemoglobin levels after the intervention. Before the treatment, the respondents' hemoglobin levels ranged from 7.9 mg/dl to 11.8 mg/dl, with an average of 11 g/dl. After the intervention using the monitoring card, hemoglobin levels increased to 11.2 g/dl to 14.1 g/dl, with an average of 12.91 g/dl. It was concluded that there was a significant effect of the use of iron tablet consumption monitoring cards on the increase in hemoglobin levels among female students at SMPN 03 Sadaniang, Mempawah Regency.

Abstract

The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women at the Mandor Community Health Center is quite high, reaching 27.4% of 575 targets, with 147 cases of mild anemia (9-10 g/dl) and 11 cases of moderate anemia (7-8 g/dl). Preventive measures were taken pharmacologically by administering 90 Fe tablets, as well as non-pharmacologically by consuming citrus fruits or dragon fruit combined with Fe tablets. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the combination of citrus fruits and Fe tablets compared to the combination of dragon fruit and Fe tablets in increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia at the Mandor Community Health Center. Using a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest two-group design, this study involved 44 samples from a population of 158, divided into two groups of 22 respondents each for the citrus fruit and dragon fruit interventions. The analysis results showed an increase in hemoglobin levels in both groups, with a median value of 10.750-11.750 for the citrus group and 10.070-11.150 for the dragon fruit group. The Mann Whitney test produced a p-value of 0.019 (<0.05), indicating that the combination of citrus fruit and iron tablets was more effective in increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia than the combination of dragon fruit and iron tablets at the Mandor Community Health Center.

Abstract

Malnutrition contributes to morbidity, mortality, disability, and reduced national human resource quality. Adequate nutrition during infancy is essential for optimal growth, with exclusive breastfeeding recommended for the first six months and continued breastfeeding with nutritious complementary foods thereafter. In 2017, exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Mempawah District was only 60.7%, and the Wajok Hulu Community Health Center had the lowest rate at 24.1%, indicating many infants received complementary foods too early. This study aimed to examine the relationship between complementary feeding and the nutritional status of infants aged 6–11 months in Wajok Hulu Village. Using a retrospective case–control design with 64 infants, results showed that most infants had good nutritional status despite receiving inappropriate complementary feeding. The study concluded that there was no significant relationship between complementary feeding practices and nutritional status (p = 0.337), suggesting that other factors may play a greater role in determining infant nutrition.
