Abstract

Anemia is a body condition characterized by lower than normal hemoglobin levels in the blood. Low hemoglobin levels in the blood can cause miscarriage, prolonged labor due to uterine inertia, postpartum hemorrhage, and shock. Anemia can be treated pharmacologically with iron tablets and non-pharmacologically with dragon fruit juice and honey. This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of dragon fruit juice and honey on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women in Bogor Regency, West Java Province, in the intervention and control groups. This type of research is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest with control group design . The sample in this study amounted to 30 pregnant women consisting of 15 people in the intervention group and 15 people in the control group. The sampling technique used was a purposive sampling technique . The research instruments consisted of observation sheets, SOPs for making dragon fruit juice and honey, SOPs for administering dragon fruit juice and honey, SOPs for checking hemoglobin, measuring cups, measuring spoons, blenders, and digital hemoglobinometers (Easy Touch GCHb). Data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, paired t-tests, and independent t-tests. The results of the study showed that the combination of dragon fruit juice and honey had a strong influence in increasing the hemoglobin levels of pregnant women in the third trimester in Bogor Regency in 2025. Pregnant women are advised to consume dragon fruit juice and honey as a complementary therapy to help increase hemoglobin levels and prevent anemia during pregnancy.

Abstract

Abstract Vaginal discharge is fluid released from the vagina other than blood and may be physiological or pathological. Pathological vaginal discharge is an indication of infection and may lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and long-term reproductive health problems. The prevalence of vaginal discharge in Indonesia is approximately 75%, with 31.8% occurring among adolescents aged 15–24 years, 27.6% in West Java Province, and reaching 58.4% in Bogor Regency. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge, personal hygiene, and stress levels with the incidence of vaginal discharge among adolescent female students at Al-Mujtahiddin Islamic Boarding School, Bogor Regency. This study employed a quantitative analytic method with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 72 adolescent female students who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 54.2% of respondents experienced physiological vaginal discharge and 45.8% experienced pathological vaginal discharge. Good knowledge was found in 51.4% of respondents, good personal hygiene practices in 41.7%, and low stress levels in 55.6%. There was a significant relationship between knowledge and the incidence of vaginal discharge 0.005, personal hygiene 0.001, and stress level 0.000 with the incidence of vaginal discharge. Knowledge, personal hygiene, and stress levels were significantly associated with the incidence of vaginal discharge among adolescent female students. Therefore, promotive and preventive efforts are needed through improving reproductive health education, encouraging proper personal hygiene behavior, and stress management among adolescent female students to prevent vaginal discharge.

Abstract

Background: Adolescence is characterized by increased iron requirements, while anemia remains prevalent among female adolescents, with rates of 48.9% nationally (Riskesdas 2018), 25.77% in Singkawang City (2024), and 7.01% at SMAN 9 South Singkawang. Anemia prevention includes iron tablet supplementation and mung bean juice consumption to support hemoglobin formation. Purpose: To analyze the effect of mung bean juice and iron tablet supplementation on hemoglobin levels among female adolescents at SMAN 9 South Singkawang, West Kalimantan. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest two-group approach. The sample consisted of female adolescents selected using a random sampling technique. Participants were divided into two groups: the control group received mung bean juice, while the intervention group received a combination of mung bean juice and iron tablet supplementation. With a total sample of 54 respondents. Paired t-test was used to analyze the effect within groups, and independent t-test was applied to compare the effects between groups. Results: The mean hemoglobin level in the intervention group increased from 12.3 g/dL to 13.5 g/dL, while in the control group it increased from 12.0 g/dL to 12.9 g/dL. There was a significant increase in hemoglobin (Hb) levels in both groups after the intervention (p < 0.000), and the combination of mung bean juice and iron tablet supplementation was more effective than mung bean juice alone (p = 0.005). Conclusion: The combination of mung bean juice and iron tablet supplementation was clinically effective and statistically significant in increasing hemoglobin levels among female adolescents compared to mung bean juice alone.
