Abstract

Background: Iron anemia could be prevented through the administration of Fe tablets (TTD). Several studies had shown that one of the obstacles often encountered in the Fe tablet administration program was the problem of compliance. The low compliance of Fe tablets consumption in adolescent girls was influenced by several factors, one of which was the knowledge of female students regarding the benefits of consuming Fe tablets. Knowledge affected the attitudes and behavior of adolescents in choosing food, consuming Fe tablets supplementation, and further affected the overall nutritional condition of individuals including the condition of anemia status. Objective: This study aimed to demonstrate the connection between attitudes and knowledge about adherence to Fe tablets use in anemic adolescents at Pondok Pesantren Mambaus Sholihin, Gresik District, East Java. Methods: This type of research was quantitative research with a cross-sectional design, sampling using the total sampling method. Method in this research was an analytical observational study with a cohort retrospective design. The samples in this study were 81 adolescent girls aged 15-17 years who experienced anemia. The variables used in this study were knowledge, attitude and compliance. The instruments used were questionnaires and checklist forms. Compliance with Fe tablet consumption was carried out for the last 3 months.  Results: Most respondents had sufficient knowledge related to anemia and Fe tablets around (31.1%) and most responders had a positive attitude of (56.8%) most respondents were not compliant with the consumption of Fe tablets by (58.0%). After the chi square test, the significance value (p=0.002) was obtained, which means that statistically there is a significant relationship between knowledge and Fe tablet consumption, and (p=0.000) there is a significant relationship between attitude and Fe tablet consumption. Conclusion: The study concluded that among teenage girls attending the Mambaus Sholihin Islamic Boarding School, there was a relationship between knowledge and attitude regarding the intake of Fe tablets.

Abstract

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) provides policy recommendations related to exclusive breastfeeding that can be adopted by UN member states. In Indonesia, the government has issued a policy to support exclusive breastfeeding based on WHO recommendations. Objectives: To describe effort in exclusive breastfeeding governance in Indonesia from 2012 to 2023 according to WHO recommendations. Method: This research uses a descriptive qualitative methodology and relies on a literature review from a variety of sources, including books, journals, articles, websites, and more, to gather information about Indonesia's efforts to meet the WHO recommendations about exclusive breastfeeding from 2012 to 2023. Results: It showed that there were efforts in the community due to applied policies, such as the provision of lactation rooms in public facilities, the formation of Breastfeeding Support Groups, the training of breastfeeding counselors, and the establishment of the PelanggaranKode website to continue to support the exclusive breastfeeding program. Conclusion: There are efforts indicating that government policies are not yet optimal. Recommendations for future research should be more specific by exploring strategies for effective advocacy and policy change to support breastfeeding, as well as evaluating the impact of global health initiatives and programs that promote breastfeeding

Then, all articles entered the screening stage based on title relevance, duplicate articles, abstract, and full text access. Five articles were found to be eligible for review. Result: From the five articles obtained, the results showed that the provision of iron supplements coupled with health education and counseling about anemia in schools can reduce the risk of anemia in adolescents by 16%-48%. Both supports are considered effective in overcoming the problem of anemia among adolescent girls. Conclusion: Providing iron supplements coupled with health education and counseling about anemia at school can reduce the risk of anemia in adolescent girls.

Abstract

Background: Encouraging early detection and prompt treatment of precancerous lesions is the key to preventing cervical cancer in women who are fertile. IVA examinations are used to detect precancerous lesions early on. Thus far, both nationally and at Mojo Health Center, the IVA examination has been achieved. Women of reproductive age may not be as aware of early diagnosis of precancerous lesions as they should be, which could contribute to the low IVA examination achievement. Due to a lack of understanding regarding the early diagnosis of precancerous lesions, women of reproductive age have low awareness. Method: A lecture and leafleting approach were used to conduct this health counseling. This kind of study uses a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest one group design, which is experimental in nature. carried out in Surabaya City at the Mojo Health Center. A straightforward random sampling methodology was used to choose the sample of 84 WUS, who were then split into two groups: the treatment group, which received an intervention counseling lecture style, and the control group, which received a leaflet intervention. A questionnaire was utilized to collect the data, and the Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to evaluate it. Independent Samples Test (p<0.05) and Wilcoxon signed Rank test. Results: The test results showing variations in both groups' knowledge levels produced the result p = 0.000 (p <0.05). P = 0.268 (p>0.05) was the outcome of the test to determine the value of differences in knowledge factors between the treatment group and the control group. Conclusion: There is no difference in WUS knowledge between the lecture method and leaflet media distribution when it comes to counseling, but there is a shift in the outcomes of WUS knowledge about early detection of cervical cancer before and after receiving counseling.

Abstract

Background: In 2022, the sole lactation coverage rate in Indonesia was recorded at 67.96%. According to the East Java Provincial Health Office, 67.54% of women in the province of East Java were exclusively nursing in 2022. This falls very short of the 80% goal set by the Republic of Indonesia's Ministry of Health in 2020. Infants require breast milk and adequate nutrition to increase their nutrient levels during growth. Exclusive breastfeeding cannot be optimally provided due to various factors such as maternal education history, which influences the mother's limited knowledge about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding maternal employment. These two factors affect the provision of exclusive breastfeeding to infants. Given the foregoing context, the study's goal was to discover how a mother's job description affected her history of exclusive breastfeeding. Method: The study employed a cross-sectional strategy and a quantitative, analytical observational design. Purposive sampling was used to choose 111 participants for the study, who were all mothers with infants between the ages of 6 and 12 months. The study will be carried out in Madiun City's Public health Service Tawangrejo East Java, Indonesia. operational region. This study was conducted from February to April 2024. Data collection utilizes questionnaires. The chi-square test was used to analyze the data. Result: The p-value is 0.03 or less than 0.05, showing that the history of exclusive breastfeeding was significantly correlated with the mother's employment position and educational attainment. Mothers with a history of exclusive breastfeeding have a poor association between their employment status and education, as indicated by their correlation coefficient (R) value of 0.362. Conclusion : there is a relationship between education, employment level, and history of exclusive breastfeeding at the Tawangrejo Community Health Center in Madiun, East Java, Indonesia.
