Abstract

Background: Husband support is a crucial factor in the success of exclusive breastfeeding, yet many husbands have limited knowledge and awareness of its importance. Education through booklets has been identified as an effective way to increase this support. Purpose: To determine the effect of using booklets on increasing husband support for exclusive breastfeeding among breastfeeding mothers at the Cireunghas Public Health Center in 2025. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group, conducted in April 2025. The sample consisted of 30 husbands of breastfeeding mothers. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test. Results: Breast milk production increased from 80 ml (40%) to 120 ml (60%) after the intervention, demonstrating the effectiveness of the intervention in increasing breast milk production. In the intervention group, husband support significantly increased by 53% (from 47% to 100%) after the booklet was provided (p=0.05). Meanwhile, in the control group, support increased by only 7% (from 27% to 33%). These results indicate that the booklet is effective in increasing husbands' understanding and attitudes toward the importance of exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: The booklet has been shown to be effective in increasing husbands' knowledge, understanding, and support. Suggestion: It is hoped that husbands will continue to improve their understanding and involvement in supporting exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Background: One of the non-pharmacological effort to increase hemoglobin (Hb) levels is by consuming fruits that contain iron and nutrients that support red blood cell formation. Dragon fruit contains iron, vitamin C, and antioxidants, while Ambon bananas contain iron, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and folic acid. Purpose: to determine the effect of dragon fruit juice and Ambon banana juice on hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls. Method: The research method used was a descriptive case study involving four respondents, consisting of two respondents in the dragon fruit juice group and two respondents in the Ambon banana juice group, conducted over 14 days. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention. Results: The results showed that the dragon fruit juice group experienced an average increase in Hb levels of 1.95 g/dL, while the Ambon banana juice group experienced an average increase of 1.4 g/dL. Conclusion: both dragon fruit juice and Ambon banana juice had an effect on increasing Hb levels in adolescent girls, and dragon fruit juice was more effective than Ambon banana juice in improving Hb levels. Suggestion: Both dragon fruit juice and Ambon banana juice can help improve Hb levels; however, dragon fruit juice is more effective and may be used as an alternative non-pharmacological intervention to help prevent and manage anemia in adolescent girls.
