Abstract

Anemia is a common health problem in adolescent girls that risks causing complications during pregnancy and stunting in children. Blood supplementation tablets are an effective intervention, but the compliance of adolescent girls in consuming them is still low. Objective: This study aimed to analyze adherence to taking blood supplement tablets in adolescent girls. Methods: With a mixed-method design and involving 124 respondents from a total population of 180 adolescent girls, this study used simple random sampling and chi-square statistical analysis to assess the relationship between knowledge variables and the role of parents, as well as in-depth interviews to assess the role of health workers and schools. Results: The results showed that there was a significant association between knowledge (p < 0.001) and parental role (p 0.001) with the compliance of adolescent girls in taking blood supplement tablets. Interview findings also revealed that health workers and schools distribute blood supplement tablets every month to support efforts to increase adherence. Conclusion: knowledge, parental support, and the active role of health and school personnel play an important role in improving the adherence of adolescent girls to taking blood supplement tablets. It is recommended that all parties, especially parents and schools, collaborate to improve adolescents' understanding and adherence to taking blood supplement tablets.

Abstract

Stunting merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan gizi yang menjadi perhatian utama dunia. Kondisi ini dimulai sejak janin dalam kandungan dan dapat terlihat saat anak berusia dua tahun, yang dikenal sebagai periode 1000 Hari Pertama Kehidupan (HPK). Masalah gizi pada anak perlu mendapatkan perhatian khusus karena berdampak pada perkembangan fisik, motorik, dan mental. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah untuk memberikan edukasi kepada masyarakat mengenai makanan penunjang bagi ibu menyusui dalam meningkatkan produksi ASI sebagai upaya pencegahan stunting. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendidikan kesehatan melalui media slide (PowerPoint) dan leaflet kepada 23 orang yang terdiri dari wanita usia subur, ibu hamil, dan ibu menyusui di Desa Wonua Jaya, Kecamatan Moramo. Partisipasi masyarakat dalam kegiatan ini cukup tinggi, ditunjukkan melalui pengisian kuesioner untuk mengukur tingkat pengetahuan tentang stunting dan makanan penunjang ASI. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat dan perbedaan berat badan sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa program pengabdian ini memberikan dampak positif dalam peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai pencegahan stunting.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) remains a major global health challenge, with prevalence increasing both worldwide and in Indonesia, including Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi. Preventive strategies that integrate community engagement and local food systems are urgently needed. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design to explore community experiences, perceptions, and involvement in diversifying scad fish into value-added products as a strategy for DM prevention. Research was conducted in Kendari with 32 participants, including health cadres, women’s groups, small and medium enterprise (SME) fish processors, and community leaders. Data collection methods consisted of in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and document review. Thematic analysis was applied using Miles and Huberman’s framework, supported by triangulation and member checking to ensure credibility. Results: Findings revealed that scad fish, though abundant and affordable, was underutilized due to low preference compared to other fish species. Through participatory processes, communities co-developed scad fish floss and crackers, which were widely accepted for their practicality, longer shelf life, and cultural compatibility. Mothers reported replacing sugary snacks with scad-based products, indicating positive dietary shifts, while SMEs and women’s groups gained new livelihood opportunities. Community involvement particularly by health cadres and local leaders was identified as the central factor ensuring acceptance, sustainability, and dissemination of the intervention. Conclusions: The diversification of scad fish into floss and crackers demonstrates a culturally relevant, sustainable, and community-driven approach to DM prevention. Beyond improving nutrition, this intervention also strengthens local economies and promotes social empowerment. The study provides a model for integrating health promotion with local food resources, offering implications for future community-based strategies in resource-rich settings.
