Abstract

Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or the haemoglobin concentration within them is lower than normal. High incidence of anemia in adolescent girls is because there are still many adolescent girls who are not accustomed to consuming iron supplement. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors for compliance with iron supplementation consumption among adolescent girls at SMA Negeri 5 Kupang. This was an quantitative study with case-control design. There was total of 64 respondents in this study which consisted of 32 case groups and 32 control groups. The independent variables in this study were knowledge, attitude, iron supplement availability, family support and peer support and the dependent variable was iron supplement consumption compliance. It was then analyzed using Chi Square test and Odds Ratio (OR). It was found that there was an association between knowledge (OR=5.0; CI 95%=1.721-14.705), attitude (OR=3.6; CI 95%=1.292-10.263), family support (OR=5.7; CI 95%=1.868-14.703) and peer support (OR=3.1; CI 95%=1.676-14.025) with TTD consumption compliance. Meanwhile, there was no association between iron supplement availability (p-value 0.060) with iron supplement consumption compliance. Schools need to establish programs related to anemia to help students adhere to taking iron supplement.

Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system, resulting in a decrease in the body's ability to fight infection and potentially causing AIDS. This study aims to analyze the determinants that influence knowledge about HIV/AIDS among students of SMA Negeri 1 Kambera, East Sumba Regency, in 2024. Given the increasing cases of HIV/AIDS in Indonesia, a good understanding among adolescents is essential for the prevention of this disease. This method uses quantitative research with a cross sectional approach. The sample consisted of 75 students with the sampling technique using stratified random sampling. The analysis in this study used univariate analysis and bivariate analysis by testing the chi square relationship. The questionnaires distributed included aspects of knowledge, information sources, social, and peer influence related to HIV/AIDS. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge and information sources (p=0.000), social life (p=0.045), and peer support (p=0.0147). It can be concluded that the factors associated with low HIV/AIDS knowledge include lack of accurate sources of information, social life with minimal open dialog about health issues, and lack of support from peers. This study suggests the need for more effective educational interventions, including counseling programs and awareness campaigns.
