Abstract

Elderly is the final stage of the human life cycle, which at this stage experiences many changes both physically and mentally, especially decline in various functions and abilities that were once possessed. Health factors that play a role in changes in nutritional status include the increasing incidence of degenerative and non-degenerative diseases that result in changes in food intake, changes in the absorption of nutrients at the tissue level, and some cases can be caused by certain drugs that must be minimized by the elderly due to the disease they are suffering from. Fulfillment of good nutritional needs needs to be supported by knowledge of nutrition itself so that it can provide complete benefits for the elderly. After health counseling is carried out, it is hoped that it can improve the health degree and quality of elderly services as a process of early detection and health improvement. This activity will be carried out in August 2024. The implementation method is carried out by lectures and discussions. The media used are nutritional leaflets on the elderly, LCDs, laptops and projectors. The implementation of health counseling is carried out by bringing the elderly to the counseling site and providing a pre-test before being given health education and a post-test after being given health education. The result of this activity is an increase in the level of knowledge of 100% of the elderly about nutrition in the elderly. This activity concluded that under this activity it was carried out and produced changes in accordance with the output target, namely knowledge about nutritional fulfillment in the elderly. It is hoped that the counseling provided can be implemented and applied to daily life.

Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnant women must be watched out for because it can cause pregnancy complications. The prevalence of pregnant women worldwide who experience anemia is 41.8% and in Indonesia in 2018 it reached 48.9%. The main cause of anemia is iron deficiency. Iron can be obtained from local food ingredients, one of which is seaweed. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of seaweed dodol consumption on hemoglobin levels of pregnant women in the second trimester with anemia. Method: This study was a pre-experimental design with a pre-test post-test with control group design. The population was all pregnant women in the second trimester in the Bululawang Health Center work area, Malang Indonesia. The sampling technique used a purposive sampling technique. The sample size was 30 people, divided into 15 people in the control group (Fe tablets) and 15 people in the treatment group (Fe tablets and seaweed dodol). Data analysis used the Independent Sample T Test. Result: The results of the Independent Sample T Test in the treatment group with the control group obtained a p value = 0.040 <0.05, meaning that there was a difference in hemoglobin levels after the intervention between the control group and the treatment group, with the average hemoglobin of the treatment group (11.36 gr / dl) greater than the average control group (11.01 gr / dl). Conclusion: Seaweed dodol can be used as an effective non-pharmacological therapy to accompany Fe tablets to increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia.
