Abstract

Depression and anxiety are common mental health issues affecting an 300 million people globally, with up to 13% of postpartum mothers experiencing depression and 19,8% with higher risks. These conditions can negatively impact both mother and child. The intake of natural antioxidants found in fruits has the potential to reduce these symptoms. This study aimed to analyze the effect of fruit consumption as a natural source of antioxidants on symptoms of depression and anxiety in postpartum mothers with children aged 1–12 months. The study was conducted from June-July 2024 in Bojong Rawalumbu, Bekasi City, using a quasi-experimental design with 64 respondents (28 in the treatment group and 29 in the control group completing the study). The treatment group received fruit interventions for 21 days, while the control group received no intervention. Depression symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), anxiety levels were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and fruit consumption compliance was monitored using a provided form. The results showed a reduction in the mean depression score (difference of 2.00) and anxiety score (difference of 4.18) in the treatment group (p = 0.0001 for both). In conclusion, adequate fruit consumption may reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in postpartum mothers with children aged 1–12 months.

Abstract

Anemia remains a public health problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 23.7%. The government has implemented a prevention program by providing Iron–Folic Acid (IFA) supplements to adolescent girls and women of reproductive age, with coverage in DKI Jakarta reaching 63.5%. This study aimed to analyze the relationships among anemia knowledge, anemia perception, and teacher support with adherence to IFA consumption among adolescent girls. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 55 students aged 16–18 years from SMA Muhammadiyah 15 Jakarta who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires that assessed knowledge, perceptions, teacher support, and adherence to IFA. Adherence was measured using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Chi-square analysis showed that anemia perception was significantly associated with IFA adherence (p = 0.003; OR = 9.394), whereas anemia knowledge (p = 0.272) and teacher support (p = 1.000) were not. These findings indicate that anemia perception plays a key role in determining adherence to IFA, whereas knowledge and teacher support do not. Programs that enhance adolescents’ perception of anemia risk and consequences are needed to improve adherence. School-based education should be more engaging and relevant, and although teacher support was not significant, schools still play an important role in providing a supportive environment for implementing the IFA consumption program.
