Abstract

Anemia are major nutritional problems among Indonesian adolescent girls, with high prevalence despite existing interventions. This case study  aims to describe midwifery care for a 16-year-old adolescent with anemia using Varney’s 7-step midwifery care management and SOAP documentation. The patient  complained of fatigue, drowsiness, shortness of breath, and showed clinical signs of anemia  (pale conjunctiva, Hb 11.4 g/dL). The interventions provided included  nutritional education, increased intake of balanced nutritious foods, administration of Iron and  Folic Acid supplementation, and health monitoring. After one week, the patient’s condition  improved, showing better physical stamina, enhanced concentration in school, and reduced  symptoms. This study highlights the importance of nutritional education and adherence to  preventive measures in managing anemia among adolescent girls.
