Abstract

Anemia in adolescent girls is a major public health problem that can persist into adulthood and contribute to increased maternal mortality, prematurity, low birth weight, and perinatal death. Data from the Padang City Health Office reported that the prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls at vocational high schools (SMKN) reached 37.5%. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with anemia among adolescent girls at SMKN in 2019. A case–control study was conducted from January to March 2019 involving female students in grades X and XI. The sample consisted of 32 anemia cases and 32 non-anemia controls. Hemoglobin levels were measured using the Easy Touch GCHb device. Dietary intake of protein, vitamin C, and iron was assessed using a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQFFQ), while infectious diseases were identified through questionnaires. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with Chi-square tests and Odds Ratios. The results showed that protein intake (p = 0.00; OR = 7.667), vitamin C intake (p = 0.00; OR = 5.000), and infectious diseases (p = 0.01; OR = 3.571) were significantly associated with anemia. Iron intake was not identified as a significant risk factor (p = 0.64; OR = 1.552). In conclusion, anemia prevalence among adolescent girls at SMK Negeri 03 Padang remains high. Efforts to improve nutritional intake, particularly protein, vitamin C, and iron, are strongly recommended to reduce anemia risk and improve adolescent health outcomes.

Abstract

Child developmental disorders occur when genetic or environmental factors fail to meet a child's basic growth and development needs. Prompt detection and appropriate intervention can help improve the quality of a child's growth and development later in life. This study aimed to determine the effect of infant massage and baby spa treatments on weight gain in infants aged 3 to 9 months. This was a quasi-experimental study using a pre-test-post-test with a control group design. The subjects consisted of 20 infants in the case group and 20 infants in the intervention group at Mahanum Clinic. The results showed that the average weight gain in infants aged 3-9 months in the intervention group was 740.48 grams, while the average weight gain in the control group was 206.48 grams. The results of the Paired Sample T-test showed a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that both baby spa and baby massage have an effect on the weight of babies aged 3-9 months. The results of the Independent T-test showed a p-value of 0.004 < 0.05, indicating that there is a significant difference between baby spa and baby massage on the weight of babies aged 3-9 months, with baby spa being superior to baby massage. It is recommended that midwives use baby spa as an appropriate health promotion strategy to increase infant weight.
