Abstract

Anemia remains a common health problem worldwide, especially among adolescent girls. According to data from the World Health Organization, the prevalence of anemia in women of childbearing age reaches 29.9%, reflecting the high rate of anemia among adolescent girls. This condition can affect concentration at school, productivity, and increase the risk of reproductive health problems in the future. This study aims to explore the relationship between the level of knowledge about anemia and hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. This study uses a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 36 female students aged 15-17 years who were selected based on respondent availability. The level of knowledge was measured using a questionnaire with 21 questions that had been tested for validity and reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.834. Hemoglobin levels were examined using the cyanmethemoglobin method. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge (88.9%), while 52.8% were anemic. The chi-square test showed no significant relationship between knowledge level and hemoglobin levels (p=0.542). These findings indicate that good knowledge does not always guarantee normal hemoglobin levels, as other factors such as diet and adherence to iron supplementation also play an important role. Appropriate health measures are needed, including a balanced diet and support for health education programs.

Abstract

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in pregnant women, especially HIV, Hepatitis B, and syphilis, are a strategic public health issue because they increase the risk of vertical transmission. As part of the national plan for maternal and child health, the Indonesian government is implementing the Triple Elimination Program to stop mother-to-child transmission. However, the widespread lack of local data still poses a barrier to assessing program success at the regional level. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the prevalence of PMS in pregnant women in Sukoharjo Regency and to help evaluate how the Triple Elimination program is implemented at the community health center level. This study uses a descriptive observational design with total sampling of all pregnant women undergoing STI screening from January to December 2024. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency and percentage statistics. Consistent with national trends, the research findings indicate that Hepatitis B is more common than HIV and Syphilis. The results show that strengthening prenatal screening, increasing public awareness, and improving healthcare worker capacity are very important. This study is unique because it provides empirical evidence based on local data. This helps expand the literature and build maternal health policies at the local level.

Abstract

Adolescence is a crucial period for growth and development. Health problems are one of the causes of growth and developmental disorders. The most common health problems experienced by adolescent girls, in particular, are malnutrition and anemia. Untreated anemia can become a chronic health problem in adolescents, affecting their current and future health. Undetected and untreated preconceptional malnutrition and anemia can progress to malnutrition (CED) and anemia in pregnant women. Anemia in pregnant women is often associated with poor pregnancy, birth, and child outcomes. Therefore, anemia screening in adolescents is crucial. However, this screening service is currently not routinely available. Providing the nutritional status examination and anemia screening activities by examining hemoglobin levels in grade XII female adolescents at SMK 2 Muhammadiyah Nguter Sukoharjo. Method: The method used to measure hemoglobin levels is the Cyanmethemoglobin method. Results: The results of anthropometric examinations showed that 14 students (51.85%) had good nutritional status and 13 students (48.1%) had poor nutritional status, consisting of 4 (14.8%) students experiencing obesity and 9 students (33.3%), including thin and very thin. The results of anemia screening showed that 17 students (62.9%) had anemia, and 10 students had normal hemoglobin levels (37.1%). Health check-up programs should be carried out routinely so that adolescents' health conditions can be monitored, and the results of the examinations need to be followed up by schools and community health centers through the provision of iron tablets, education, and guidance on healthy lifestyles by considering local cultural approaches.
