Abstract

Anemia is a global health problem, particularly affecting adolescent girls due to their increased iron needs during growth and menstruation. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia among adolescents reaches 32%, posing risks such as fatigue, decreased concentration, stunted growth, and lowered immunity. Poor nutritional status and lack of knowledge are suspected to contribute to anemia in this group. Objective:This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status and knowledge level with the incidence of anemia among adolescents at the Tahirah Al Baeti Bulukumba Midwifery Academy.Methods: This was a quantitative descriptive study involving 10 adolescent girls with anemia, selected through total sampling from a population of 27 students. Data were collected using questionnaires and BMI measurements. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test to assess the relationship between variables.Results: Of the 10 respondents, 6 (60%) experienced mild anemia and 4 (40%) experienced severe anemia. There was a significant relationship between nutritional status and anemia incidence (p = 0.004); all respondents with normal BMI experienced only mild anemia, while 80% of those with abnormal BMI suffered from severe anemia. However, the relationship between knowledge level and anemia incidence was not statistically significant (p = 0.548). Conclusion: Nutritional status significantly affects the incidence and severity of anemia among adolescent girls, with those having abnormal BMI at greater risk. In contrast, knowledge level alone does not significantly influence anemia occurrence. Therefore, improving adolescent nutrition should be prioritized, while educational programs should continue to support healthier behavior and anemia prevention.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding for six months is crucial for infant growth, development, and health. However, in various regions, breastfeeding mothers still experience obstacles in breast milk production, resulting in suboptimal exclusive breastfeeding. One intervention that can be implemented to increase breast milk production is Oketani massage, a breast massage technique that stimulates the hormones prolactin and oxytocin. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of Oketani massage on breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers in the Kassi-Kassi Community Health Center. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach for the experimental and control groups. A sample of 28 respondents was divided into two groups (14 respondents with Oketani massage and 14 respondents without massage). Data were collected through observations of breast milk volume before and after the intervention, then analyzed using a t-test. Results: The results showed a significant difference in breast milk production before and after Oketani massage (p = 0.001). Average breast milk production increased in the group receiving Oketani massage compared to the control group. Conclusion: The study concluded that Oketani massage has a positive effect on increasing breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers. Healthcare workers are advised to teach and practice Oketani massage as a way to improve the success of exclusive breastfeeding.
