Abstract

Poor nutritional status in prospective brides is one of the causes of stunting that needs to be identified early. Therefore, the ELSIMIL application was developed to detect stunting risk factors in prospective brides. This study aims to analyze the utilization of ELSIMIL services to increase knowledge about stunting prevention in prospective brides. This mixed-methods study employed a sequential mixed methods strategy, primarily an explanatory sequential strategy. The study population was 98, and accidental sampling resulted in a sample size of 32. Five informants participated in the study. Data validity was validated through triangulation. Quantitative data collection using questionnaires was analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression. Qualitative data collection using in-depth interviews was analyzed and discussed in narrative form. Results showed that of the eight variables, one variable (age) was not significantly related. Through logistic regression testing, the most dominant variable was information, with a p-value of 0.010 and Exp(B) of 28.095. Qualitative results showed that prospective brides and grooms who were introduced to the ELSIMIL app, provided with information on how to use the app, provided educational information within the app, and received ELSIMIL service support increased their knowledge and understanding of stunting prevention. In conclusion, utilizing ELSIMIL services can improve prospective brides and grooms' knowledge of stunting prevention. It is hoped that staff at the Family Planning Extension Center can expand their educational reach through youth social forums to make the delivery process more relaxed and easily understood by young prospective brides and grooms.

Most cervical cancers begin in cells in the transformation zone. Objectives: to determine the relationship between the application of the health belief model (perceived susceptibility; perceived severity; perceived threat; perceived benefits; perceived barriers and cues to action) on the behavior of the IVA (Visual Inspection of Acetic Acid) test in women of reproductive age as an effort to detect cervical cancer early.. Research method: quantitative descriptive research with cross sectional method. The study was conducted at UPT Puskesmas Kilometer 11 from December 2023 to February 2024.

Perceived susceptibility is the most dominant variable influencing IVA test behavior in reproductive age women as an effort for early detection of cervical cancer. Conclusion: Dairi District Health Office to increase public understanding of the risk of cervical cancer by providing counseling related to IVA, increasing access to health service facilities by increasing the number of health workers trained in IVA and intensifying mass IVA for sub-districts/wards.

Abstract

Anemia among adolescent girls remains a health issue that impacts growth, academic performance, and productivity. Skipping breakfast and low adherence to taking iron-folic acid supplements (TTD) are factors that increase the risk of anemia. This community service activity aimed to increase the knowledge and awareness of adolescent girls at SMKN 1 Langsa City regarding the importance of breakfast and TTD consumption as measures to prevent anemia. The methods employed included coordination with the school, administering a pre-test, conducting health education sessions using presentations and leaflets, facilitating interactive discussions, screening hemoglobin levels, distributing leaflets, and administering a post-test for evaluation. Sixty-eight female students participated in the activity. The results showed that 34 participants (50.0%) had a habit of eating breakfast, 29 participants (42.6%) consumed TTD, and 18 participants (26.5%) were found to have anemia based on hemoglobin screening. Knowledge evaluation revealed an increase in the average score from 61.5 in the pre-test to 86.8 in the post-test, representing a rise of 25.3 points. Furthermore, the participants demonstrated enthusiasm and active participation throughout the event. This community service activity was effective in enhancing the knowledge and awareness of adolescent girls regarding the importance of breakfast, TTD consumption, and anemia prevention. It is recommended that health education combined with hemoglobin screening be implemented on an ongoing basis through collaboration among schools, healthcare professionals, and parents to support anemia prevention among adolescent girls.
