Abstract

Background: Anemia among adolescent girls is a significant public health problem that can adversely affect growth, learning concentration, productivity, and future reproductive health. Preventive efforts include health education and the regular consumption of Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) tablets; however, adherence remains suboptimal due to limited knowledge about anemia and the benefits of iron supplementation. Objective: To analyze the effect of anemia prevention education combined with an Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) tablet adherence campaign on improving the knowledge of adolescent girls at SMPN 4 Kediri, Tabanan Regency. Methods: A one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 60 adolescent girls. Knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire before and after the educational intervention, while hemoglobin levels were measured as an initial screening for anemia. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The mean knowledge score increased from 49.00 ± 5.43 before the intervention to 88.00 ± 4.80 after the intervention (p < 0.001), with a mean improvement of 39.00 ± 7.30 points. The mean hemoglobin level was 14.22 ± 1.60 g/dL, and the majority of participants were not anemic. Conclusion: Anemia prevention education combined with an IFA tablet adherence campaign effectively improved the knowledge of adolescent girls and has the potential to be integrated into the School Health Unit (UKS) program.

Abstract

Limited knowledge among fertile couples regarding contraceptive methods, the continued dominance of three-month injectable contraceptives, and low male involvement in family planning remain important reproductive health challenges. Data from the Darfuar Community Health Center, Biak City District, identified 350 fertile couples as the target population for family planning services, with injectable contraception being the most commonly used method. This community service program aimed to improve participants’ knowledge of family planning, contraceptive options, and the importance of husbands’ participation in reproductive decision-making. Health education was delivered through interactive lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and educational leaflets involving 35 fertile couples. Evaluation using pre-test and post-test assessments demonstrated an increase in the average knowledge score from 64.3 to 88.6, representing a 24.3-point improvement. Participants also showed better understanding of family planning benefits, long-acting reversible contraceptive methods (LARCs/MKJP), and husbands’ supportive roles. These findings indicate that health education effectively improves family planning knowledge and should be implemented continuously by involving health workers, community health volunteers, community leaders, and married couples to promote informed contraceptive choices and strengthen male participation in family planning.
