Abstract

Anemia among pregnant women remains a major public health problem that contributes to an increased risk of pregnancy and childbirth complications, particularly in island regions and areas with limited access to health services such as Taliabu Island. Low levels of knowledge among families, limited capacity of health cadres, and minimal involvement of community leaders hinder optimal efforts to prevent anemia. This community service program aimed to improve maternal health by empowering families, health cadres, and community leaders in the prevention of anemia among pregnant women. A participatory community empowerment approach was employed through health education, cadre training, field mentoring, and the use of contextual educational media in the form of leaflets and modules. Program evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test methods to assess changes in participants’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. The results demonstrated an increase in participants’ knowledge by more than 30% following the intervention, enhanced capacity of health cadres to deliver health education, and initial positive behavioral changes, including improved adherence to iron supplementation and increased utilization of locally available nutritious food sources. In addition, the program produced educational media registered as Intellectual Property Rights. The empowerment of families and health cadres plays a crucial role in establishing a sustainable community support system for the prevention of anemia among pregnant women.

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 75% of women in the world experience vaginal discharge at least once in their lives, and 45% experience it twice or more. Factors that influence are lack of knowledge and attitudes in maintaining the cleanliness of the feminine area. Some adolescent girls sometimes take this vaginal discharge problem lightly. Thus, efforts are needed to improve knowledge and attitudes about the problem of vaginal discharge. This study uses descriptive correlation with a cross-sectional approach, the sample used was 98 female adolescents in grade XI IPA. The researcher's goal is to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes with the incidence of vaginal discharge in adolescent girls. Statistical tests using the Fisher Exact Probability Test with the highest frequency of knowledge, namely the good category of 78 respondents (79.6%), attitude, namely the good category of 75 respondents (76.5%), it is known that the knowledge value is (p = 0.119 > ? = 0.005) meaning that there is no relationship between knowledge and the occurrence of vaginal discharge, while attitude is (p = 0.003 < ? = 0.005) meaning that there is a relationship between attitude and the occurrence of vaginal discharge.

Abstract

Low contraceptive coverage in Kuta Baharu District (40.6%) is largely attributable to knowledge gaps among health cadres who serve as frontline promoters of Family Planning (FP). Structured educational interventions grounded in andragogical principles and visual media are regarded as effective strategies to strengthen cadre capacity. This study aimed to analyze the effect of a FP educational intervention on the knowledge improvement of health cadres in Kuta Baharu District, Aceh Singkil Regency. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was employed. All FP cadres within the working area of Kuta Baharu Primary Health Center (n=18) were enrolled via total sampling. The intervention consisted of a 60-minute interactive educational lecture supplemented by a 30-minute discussion session and visual media (PowerPoint and leaflet). A validated 10-item multiple-choice questionnaire (score range 0–100) was used as the measurement instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Mean knowledge scores increased significantly from 72.78 (SD=21.30) at pre-test to 92.78 (SD=7.71) at post-test (Δ=+20.00 points; p<0.001). The proportion of cadres categorized as having Good knowledge (score ≥80) rose from 50.0% to 100.0%. The marked reduction in standard deviation reflected homogenization of understanding across respondents following the intervention. An interactive lecture- and visual media-based FP educational intervention was proven effective in significantly and uniformly improving health cadres’ knowledge. Strengthening cadre capacity through structured education contributes to the optimization of cadres as change agents in FP programs in areas with low contraceptive coverage.
