Abstract

Developing nations continue to face the disproportionate burden of anemia worldwide. Fatigue and impaired cognitive performance in teenagers, as well as impaired motor and behavioral development in children, are all symptoms of this disorder. There is a substantial risk of iron insufficiency in teenage females since their daily iron needs are about 11 mg. In order to sustain development and compensate for iron losses that occur naturally, including during menstruation, the body's iron needs rise throughout adolescence. Adolescent girls at SMA Swasta Nusantara Lubuk Pakam were the subjects of this research, which sought to examine the correlation between anemia rates and variables such nutritional intake and knowledge. The Spearman Correlation test was used to analyze the data in a cross-sectional research. With a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), the statistical test findings demonstrated a strong correlation between dietary consumption and knowledge and the occurrence of anemia. With p-values for carbohydrates (1.000), protein (0.716), and fat (0.062) all higher than 0.05, there was no statistically significant correlation between macronutrient consumption and the prevalence of anemia. Because of this, researcher may infer that dietary carbs, proteins, and fats do not contribute to the prevalence of anemia, and we reject the alternative hypothesis (Ha) for this variable.

Abstract

Wasting is an acute nutritional problem among children under five that remains a public health challenge in Pringsewu Regency, with a prevalence reaching 11.1%. One of the primary risk factors for this condition is the low knowledge of mothers regarding the principles of balanced nutrition and variations in processing local food. This community service activity (PkM) aims to improve the knowledge of mothers with children under five regarding balanced nutrition through education based on the "PARDASUKA" local recipe book. The method used was direct nutritional education with a pre-test and post-test design involving 32 mothers, accompanied by interactive discussions and the distribution of posters and recipe books. The results showed a significant increase in the participants' knowledge. Before the education, the majority of mothers had poor knowledge at 62.5% (20 people), the good category was 25.0% (8 people), and the excellent category was only 12.5% (4 people). After the intervention, the proportion of poor knowledge decreased drastically to 12.5% (4 people), the good category became 9.37% (3 people), while the excellent category surged sharply to 78.12% (25 people). Overall, there was a recorded increase in knowledge of 65.62%. In conclusion, nutritional education intervention using practical media such as local food-based recipe books is proven effective in significantly increasing mothers' understanding, thereby holding great potential to support sustainable efforts in preventing and reducing wasting rates.
