Abstract

Background: Iron (Fe) deficiency is the leading cause of anemia worldwide due to the impact on hemoglobin (Hb) production. Meanwhile, several nutrients, including protein, iron, copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), vitamin A, and vitamin C, influence Hb levels. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of iron supplementation combined with sweet orange in increasing Hb levels. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was used with a total of 45 menstruating female students from Grades 8 and 9 as participants. These individuals were divided into two groups, one group received iron supplements (TTD) alone, while the other was given TTD combined with 130 grams of sweet orange, providing 63.7 mg of vitamin C, for 12 weeks. Hb levels before and after the intervention were measured using the Easy Touch GCHb device. An independent t-test was used for statistical analysis. Results: The results showed that the combination of TTD and vitamin C from sweet orange was significantly more effective in increasing Hb levels in adolescents compared to TTD alone (p-value=0.001). Conclusions: The combination of TTD and sweet orange was more effective in increasing Hb levels. These results provide valuable insights for government programs aimed at improving adolescent iron supplementation by incorporating vitamin C-rich food sources, such as sweet orange, to enhance iron absorption.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a significant public health issue, particularly in low-resource settings where maternal knowledge and dietary practices influence child nutrition. Empowering mothers through participatory approaches is an effective strategy for addressing this challenge. Objectives: This study examined the reflective process within the Participatory Action Research (PAR) framework to empower mothers to enhance their child nutrition through local food resources. It specifically focuses on the critical reflections that shape the effectiveness of empowerment. Methods: This study employed PAR with a focus on the reflection stage, to assess the effectiveness of maternal empowerment in utilizing local food for stunting prevention. Quantitative assessments including structured questionnaires were administered to 50 randomly selected participants. A paired t-test was conducted to analyze changes in knowledge and attitudes, with statistical significance set at p-value<0.05. Results: The reflection phase revealed a significant increase in maternal knowledge and attitude post-intervention. The mean knowledge score improved from 14.70±3.09 to 29.60±0.97 (p-value=0.001), while the attitude score increased from 11.50±3.06 to 19.30±1.52 (p-value=0.001). The maternal empowerment program was well received, with trained health cadres and PKK (family welfare movement) mothers playing a crucial role in fostering sustainable behavioral change in stunting prevention. Conclusions: Critical reflection on PAR enhances the effectiveness of maternal empowerment. These findings offer practical insights for policymakers and public health practitioners in designing adaptive community-driven nutritional interventions. Integrating reflective practices ensures that stunting prevention programmes are contextually relevant, sustainable, and scalable across diverse sociocultural settings.
