Abstract

The prevalence of anaemia among adolescent girls in Indonesia is 18.4%. One of the main indicator targets is reducing the prevalence of anaemia is in the form of iron-folic acid (IFA) supplementation for adolescent girls. The research aims to analyze knowledge of female youth on anaemia and management of iron-folic acid supplementation. This study used a cross-sectional design, and it was conducted in 24 senior high schools in Cianjur Regency (high stunting area) and Depok City (low stunting area). The total sample of this study was 243 female youth. The study began from September 2019 to February 2020 for the 1st term and continued from October 2022 to March 2023 for the 2nd term. The quantitative result showed that there was a significant difference in knowledge about the frequency of providing the iron-folic acid supplement (IFAS) at school and the duration in a year that students must consume the IFAS between high stunting and low stunting (p=0.000). A significant proportion of female youth, 67.5% in high stunting areas and 71.7% in low stunting areas, exhibit insufficient nutrition knowledge, underscoring the necessity for a nutrition education initiative targeting high school students. The qualitative results showed the input-process-output of the IFA program have been administered for the last few years, providing several constraints in order to improve the IFA program management. Based on those findings, the IFA supplementation program provides a potential chance for addressing anaemia in female youth.

Abstract

Promosi Kesehatan, termasuk promosi gizi di dalamnya, merupakan salah satu upaya untuk mengoptimalisasi kesehatan lanjut usia (lansia). Tim pengabdi STIKes Mitra Keluarga melakukan kegiatan promosi gizi dan kesehatan di Panti Sentra Terpadu Pangudi Luhur Bekasi. Sebanyak 6 orang pengurus mengikuti penyuluhan gizi, 8 orang pengurus mengikuti penyuluhan aktivitas fisik lansia, dan 7 orang lansia mengikuti sharing session dan penilaian status gizi. Terdapat peningkatan skor secara signifikan pada pengetahuan gizi (p= 0.0195, uji Wilcoxon Signed Rank) sehingga dapat dikatakan kegiatan pengetahuan berhasil meningkatkan pengetahuan terkait gizi. Namun, tidak terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan aktivitas fisik secara signifikan (p= 0.3275, uji Wilcoxon Signed Rank). Status gizi lansia sebagai berikut: 72% normal, 14% berat badan kurang, dan 14% berat badan lebih.. Melalui kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat membantu upaya menjaga status gizi pada lansia. Namun, upaya tersebut akan terasa lebih maksimal jika kegiatan pendampingan serupa dapat dilakukan secara berkelanjutan.
