Abstract

Anemia remains a significant health problem among adolescent girls, primarily due to low hemoglobin levels. Although the prevalence has declined in recent years, it is still considered relatively high according to global health standards. In several regions, from provincial to local levels, the proportion of adolescent girls affected by anemia remains substantial. In some primary healthcare service areas, the prevalence has even shown an increasing trend. One of the key contributing factors is the low level of knowledge and adherence among adolescents in consuming iron (Fe) supplements. Despite the increasing national coverage of iron tablet distribution, the proportion of adolescents who consume the recommended amount remains very low. Common reasons for non-compliance include discomfort after consumption, forgetfulness, lack of perceived benefits, and concerns about side effects. Iron supplementation programs have long been implemented as a government intervention to prevent anemia. However, their effectiveness largely depends on the behavior, awareness, and consistency of adolescents in taking the supplements regularly. = This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and compliance in consuming Fe tablets with the incidence of anemia among female adolescents at SMA N 1 Suruh. Research. This study used a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 89 female students in grade XI at SMA N 1 Suruh who had undergone anemia screening. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires to assess knowledge and compliance levels, and secondary hemoglobin data from Suruh Public Health Center. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had low knowledge and low compliance in consuming Fe tablets. There was a significant relationship between knowledge and the incidence of anemia (p-value = 0.022, OR = 0.301), and between compliance in consuming Fe tablets and the incidence of anemia (p-value = 0.045, OR = 2.764). There is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and compliance in consuming Fe tablets with the incidence of anemia among female adolescents. Strengthening education and consistent monitoring of Fe tablet consumption are essential to reduce anemia rates in this population.

Abstract

The appearance of discomfort in the back area is often triggered by biomechanical and physiological transformations that occur during the third trimester of pregnancy. Nutritional conditions represented through Body Mass Index (BMI) figures are strongly suspected to be the variables that trigger the emergence of these disorders in pregnant women. Departing from this, this study was carried out to map the distribution of BMI categories as well as the degree of back discomfort felt by pregnant women in the third trimester phase within the scope of the Gunungpati Health Center, Semarang. Through a quantitative-descriptive methodology, this research involved 31 subjects taken using a saturated sample procedure (total sampling) from a population of pregnant women with similar pain complaints. The determination of BMI status was carried out objectively through anthropometric calculations (height and weight), while to evaluate the level of pain, the researcher applied the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) instrument. Data analysis was carried out univariate and presented in the form of frequency and percentage distributions. The results showed that most of the respondents had a normal BMI as many as 21 respondents (67.7%), while the overweight category as many as 10 respondents (32.3%). The intensity of back pain was dominated by the moderate category of 23 respondents (74.2%), followed by severe pain as many as 5 respondents (16.1%) and mild pain as many as 3 respondents (9.7%). The conclusion of the study showed that the majority of pregnant women in the third trimester had normal BMI with moderate back pain intensity. Promotive and preventive efforts are needed through nutritional status monitoring and health education to reduce back pain complaints in pregnant women.   Abstrak Munculnya rasa tidak nyaman pada area punggung sering kali di picu oleh transformasi biomekanik serta fisiologis yang terjadi selama masa kehamilan trimester III. Kondisi nutrisi yang direpresentasikan melalui angka Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) diduga kuat menjadi variabel yang memicu munculnya gangguan tersebut pada wanita hamil. Berangkat dari hal tersebut, studi ini dilaksanakan guna memetakan sebaran kategori IMT sekaligus derajat ketidaknyamanan punggung yang dirasakan oleh ibu hamil di fase trimester ketiga di lingkup Puskesmas Gunungpati, Semarang. Melalui metodologi kuantitatif-deskriptif, riset ini melibatkan 31 subjek yang diambil menggunakan prosedur sampel jenuh (total sampling) dari populasi ibu hamil dengan keluhan nyeri serupa. Penentuan status IMT dilakukan secara objektif melalui kalkulasi antropometri (tinggi serta berat badan), sementara untuk mengevaluasi level rasa nyeri, peneliti mengaplikasikan instrumen Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan disajikan dalam bentuk distribusi frekuensi dan persentase. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar responden memiliki IMT kategori normal sebanyak 21 responden (67,7%), sedangkan kategori overweight sebanyak 10 responden (32,3%). Intensitas nyeri punggung didominasi kategori sedang sebanyak 23 responden (74,2%), diikuti nyeri berat sebanyak 5 responden (16,1%) dan nyeri ringan sebanyak 3 responden (9,7%). Simpulan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas ibu hamil trimester III memiliki IMT normal dengan intensitas nyeri punggung kategori sedang. Diperlukan upaya promotif dan preventif melalui pemantauan status gizi dan edukasi kesehatan untuk mengurangi keluhan nyeri punggung pada ibu hamil.
