Abstract

Introduction: Anaemia in female adolescents tends to have a negative impact that is likely to later arise in pregnancy, labour and childbirth. The prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia in female adolescents in Indonesia is thirty percent. Indonesia runs an iron tablet program for female adolescents. However, with the running of the program, it is not clear what factors are correlated with the intention of iron tablet consumption among female adolescents. The purpose of this study was to analyse the factors correlated with the intention of iron tablet consumption among female adolescents.Methods: This research used a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 100 students in senior high school in Surabaya, chosen by proportional random sampling. The independent variables were parent income, knowledge, perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, perceived threats, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived self-efficacy. The dependent variable was female adolescent intention related to consuming iron tablets. The data was collected using a questionnaire and analysed by a chi square test with a level of significance α<0.05.Results: There was a significant correlation between perceived threat (p=0.02), perceived benefit (p=0.01), perceived barrier (p=0.02) and perceived self-efficacy (p=0.00) and female adolescent intention related to consuming iron tablets. There was no correlation between parental income, adolescent knowledge, perceived susceptibility, and perceived seriousness with the intention to consume iron tablets.Conclusion: From this research, it has been concluded that the factors related to the intention to consume iron tablets in female adolescents were perceived threat, perceived benefit, perceived barrier and perceived self-efficacy. Increasing the confidence of female adolescents in association with the importance of avoiding anaemia by consuming iron tablets is crucial so then they can maintain their health and prevent diseases due to anaemia later on.

Abstract

Leg edema is a common complaint in third trimester pregnant women. It is believed that soaking in kencur warm water and salt warm water can help overcome this. Comparing the effectiveness of soaking in warm kencur water with warm salt water on leg edema in third trimester pregnant women. Quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest design with the control group. A total of 60 third trimester pregnant women were divided into two groups: the kencur warm water immersion group (n=30) and the salt warm water immersion group (n=30). The intervention was carried out for 15 minutes, twice a day for 3 days. Leg edema was measured using a measuring tape before and after the intervention. There was a significant reduction in leg edema in both groups after intervention (p<0.05). The reduction in leg edema in the kencur warm water immersion group was greater than in the salt warm water immersion group (p<0.05). Kencur warm water soaks are more effective than salt warm water soaks in reducing leg edema in third-trimester pregnant women.

Abstract

Anemia is a global health concern, particularly prevalent in developing countries. Traditional remedies like tamarillo and pitaya have been suggested to boost blood production. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these juices in managing anemia. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Participants with mild to moderate anemia (hemoglobin 8-11 g/dL) were randomized to receive daily tamarillo juice, pitaya juice, or a placebo for 12 weeks. Hemoglobin, hematocrit, iron levels, and hematological parameters were assessed at baseline and week 12. A total of 150 participants completed the study (50 per group). Both tamarillo and pitaya juice groups showed significant increases in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). Pitaya juice also demonstrated a significant increase in iron levels (p < 0.01). No serious adverse events were reported. Tamarillo and pitaya juices show promise as adjunctive therapies for anemia management. Further research is needed to explore their long-term effects and mechanisms of action.

Abstract

Post-immunization fever is a common side effect in infants, often causing discomfort and concern for parents. Hibiscus leaf extracts have been traditionally used for their anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. This study investigated the efficacy of hibiscus leaf extracts as a potential therapeutic agent for post-immunization fever in infants. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 120 infants aged 2-4 months who received their first dose of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DPT) vaccine. Participants were randomly assigned to either the hibiscus extract group (n=60) or the control group (n=60). The hibiscus extract group received a standardized dose of hibiscus leaf extract orally, while the control group received standard care. Fever was assessed at regular intervals for 48 hours post-immunization. Infants in the hibiscus extract group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of fever (p=0.02) and a reduced duration of fever (p=0.04) compared to the control group. Furthermore, the hibiscus extract group showed a lower average temperature throughout the observation period. No adverse effects were reported in the hibiscus extract group. In conclusion, hibiscus leaf extracts demonstrate promising anti-inflammatory properties and may serve as a safe and effective therapeutic agent for post-immunization fever in infants. Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and long-term effects.

Abstract

This study focuses on the importance of reproductive health education for adolescents as an effort to improve knowledge and attitudes in facing puberty and mental health. Adolescents, aged 10-19 years according to WHO and 10-18 years according to the Indonesian Ministry of Health, are in a critical transition period that affects their physical, mental and social health. Lack of knowledge about puberty and how to deal with it can have a negative impact on reproductive health, including the risk of anemia, obesity, and mental health problems experienced by more than a third of adolescents in Indonesia. As a solution, Adolescent Posyandu was implemented at SMP Negeri 57 Surabaya by involving Student Health Unit (UKS) cadres as peer tutors. This activity is a collaboration between the Midwife Professional Education Study Program of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Siwalankerto Health Center and the University of Brunei Darussalam, was carried out on November 8, 2024 and attended by 26 students. The program consisted of five stages of service: registration, health checks (blood pressure, weight, height, upper arm circumference (LiLA), abdominal circumference (LP)), recording, nutrition in health education, and counseling. In addition, counseling on puberty, nutrition, and mental health was delivered through educational games to improve the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of adolescents. The results showed an increase in participants' understanding of physical changes during puberty, the importance of nutrition, and the important role of peers in supporting mental health through educational games. UKS cadres are expected to act as pioneers in disseminating the information and knowledge gained to their peers, thus creating a school environment that supports adolescent health. The long-term positive impact is expected to contribute to the achievement of the 3rd Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely ensuring healthy lives and well-being for all ages by 2030. The implementation of the program went smoothly with the support of the Puskesmas and the school, demonstrating the effectiveness of the peer education approach in improving adolescent health status.
