Abstract

Human activities every day have a lot of physical contact with the environment, this can cause various kinds of diseases. These diseases can come from various types of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. Examples of bacteria that can cause disease are Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria that most commonly cause diarrhoea. To avoid these bacteria, humans need to wash their hands using soap and clean running water. However, washing hands cannot be done every time and in every place. Therefore, there is an innovation of hand sanitizer without using running water, namely hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer is a waterless hand sanitizer innovation that contains antiseptic substances. Hand sanitizer works as an antibacterial in inhibiting and even killing bacteria. Antiseptics are chemical compounds used to inhibit or kill microorganisms in living tissue. The purpose of using antiseptics is to inhibit or kill bacteria by inhibiting bacterial enzymes and reducing the permeability of bacterial cell membranes through bacterial precipitation, oxidation, and halogenation. Antiseptics usually contain alcohol, chlorhexidine, and anilides. Antiseptics that are widely used in the medical world are antiseptics with alcohol content based on the ability of alcohol to kill bacteria.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, contributing to maternal and fetal complications. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of iron supplementation in preventing anemia among pregnant women through a systematic literature review using PRISMA guidelines. A total of 12 eligible articles published from 2016 to 2025 were analyzed, focusing on the Indonesian population. The findings consistently demonstrate that iron and folic acid supplementation significantly increases hemoglobin levels and reduces anemia prevalence in pregnant women. However, adherence to supplementation is a persistent challenge. Only 53.4% of pregnant women consumed iron tablets for at least 90 days, with adherence influenced by maternal education, socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, and family support. While most studies confirmed the biological effectiveness of iron supplementation, limitations such as small sample sizes, limited geographic coverage, lack of control groups, and short-term observation periods were noted. To optimize outcomes, a multidimensional approach involving health education, improved healthcare access, and community support is essential. Strengthening adherence and monitoring mechanisms can enhance the long-term impact of iron supplementation in reducing maternal anemia in Indonesia.
