Abstract

Many factors can cause iron deficiency anemia with iron loss during menstruation, especially in teenagers. This study was aimed to describe hemoglobin levels related to Fe supplementation in teenage girls in Batam. This study is descriptive and observational research. The research was conducted at SMAN 5 Batam from May to July 2021. The inclusion criteria for the participant in this study were girls aged 14 to 17 years old, willing to participate in this study, and signed the informed consent. A total of 47 girls participated in this study. Hemoglobin level was recorded before and after supplementation. Most of the participants were over 15 years old (91.5%) and had normal menstrual cycles. All participants had menstruated and had no history of infectious disease. The results of the Hb level examination showed that before the administration of Fe tablets, 95.7% of the participants had normal Hb levels. However, after Fe supplementation, the number of participants who had normal Hb levels decreased to 87.2% of the total participants who took part in this study. In conclusion, we found a decrease in the number of participants who had normal Hb levels after Fe supplementation.

Abstract

These hormonal fluctuations affect various aspects of maternal health and well-being, including brain neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. This is an important aspect in understanding the emotional changes and psychological responses that mothers often experience during this period. This study aimed to present the role of hormonal regulation and brain neurotransmitters in baby blues syndrome. The literature search process was carried out on various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar). This study follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) recommendations. The period of pregnancy and childbirth brings significant hormonal changes in the mother's body. A sharp drop in hormone levels, such as estrogen and progesterone after giving birth, can affect the mother's mood and emotions. Decreased levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation, may contribute to the feelings of sadness and anxiety often experienced by mothers with Baby Blues. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of motivation and emotional responses, can also fluctuate due to postnatal hormonal changes, affecting the mother's mood and motivation. Increased cortisol levels in response to physical and emotional stress can impact the mother's mood and can affect the activity of neurotransmitters such as serotonin. Prolactin plays a role in bonding between mother and baby, as well as in breast milk production. These hormonal fluctuations can affect the mother's emotions and feelings.
