Abstract

Background: Anemia among adolescent girls is a global public health issue that can impair growth, cognitive function, and future reproductive health. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the influence of various nutritional, socioeconomic, and physiological factors on hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 50 adolescent girls aged 11–19 years. Data collection included anthropometric measurements, dietary intake assessments, and a structured questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics and menstrual patterns. Hemoglobin levels were measured using a standard hemoglobinometer. Bivariate analysis using Spearman’s Rho and multivariate analysis using multiple linear regression were performed to determine the associated factors. Results: The prevalence of anemia was 26%. Bivariate analysis showed significant correlations between hemoglobin levels and mid-upper arm circumference (r = 0.356; p = 0.011), protein intake (r = 0,271; p = 0.050), and iron intake (r = 0.293; p = 0.039). Multivariate analysis revealed that MUAC and protein intake were the most influential factor affecting hemoglobin levels (p = 0.021 and 0.025 respectively). Other variables such as BMI-based nutritional status, parental income, vitamin C intake, anemia-related knowledge, and menstrual characteristics did not show significant associations. Conclusion: The findings highlight that improving dietary intake particularly of protein and iron and regularly monitoring MUAC are practical steps to reduce anemia among adolescent girls. These insights offer valuable guidance for nutritional interventions focused on adolescent well-being.

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a significant health challenge in Indonesia, particularly among school-age children. This community service program aimed to increase students' knowledge and hygiene behavior through Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) education, specifically handwashing with soap (CTPS), in two elementary schools: SDN 85 and SDN 94 Kendari. The intervention included interactive education sessions, CTPS demonstrations, educational materials distribution, and provision of portable handwashing stations. Pre-test and post-test assessments showed improved student knowledge and observed hygiene practices. The program's unique approach involved not only student-targeted education but also active coordination with school staff and facility enhancement. The results showed increased handwashing behavior, better awareness of hygiene, and positive feedback from both students and school personnel. Keywords: CTPS, elementary school, hygiene education, handwashing, sanitation, STH prevention

Abstract

This empowerment program aims to strengthen the capacities of coastal women in Bungkutoko Subdistrict through the development of innovative fish-based products using local potential. The situational analysis indicated limited diversification of processed fish products, low digital marketing skills, and weak household economic resilience. The program addressed these needs through training on processing fish into Abon WaPesisir with various flavors, nutrition education, the use of appropriate technology (fish floss mixer, vacuum sealer, standing pouches), preparation of production SOPs, branding enhancement, and digital marketing training using social media and online marketplaces. In addition, the activities integrated the strengthening of women's roles through mentoring, group learning, and entrepreneurial soft‑skills development. The results showed increases in participants' knowledge, production skills, food hygiene practices, and digital marketing capabilities. The group succeeded in producing more than 50 packages of ready‑to‑sell fish floss with more consistent quality, modern packaging design, and the “Abon WaPesisir” brand. Participants were also able to create promotional content, manage social media accounts, and begin expanding their marketing networks. Overall, the program had positive impacts, including enhanced self‑confidence, strengthened business capacity, and greater opportunities to improve household income among coastal families.
