The Relationship Between Adolescent Girls’ Knowledge Level About Anemia and Their Compliance in Consuming Iron Supplement Tablets

Abstract
Anemia is a common condition among women of reproductive age, largely due to the monthly menstrual cycle. This condition can impair daily activities and reduce productivity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2021 approximately 29.9% of women aged 15–49 years experienced anemia. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia increased from 37.1% in 2013 to 48.9% in 2018. Furthermore, around 32% of young women aged 15–24 years in Indonesia are affected, meaning that three to four out of every ten adolescent girls experience anemia. This study aimed to examine the relationship between adolescent girls’ knowledge about anemia and their adherence to consuming iron supplement tablets. An analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The research was conducted at the Al Fatih Tahfidz Islamic Boarding School in Sintang Regency in 2025. Total sampling was used, involving all 34 adolescent girls. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The analysis produced a p-value of 0.341 (p<0.05), suggesting an association between knowledge of anemia and compliance with iron supplement consumption. The obtained odds ratio (OR) of 3.629 indicates that adolescent girls with lower levels of knowledge were 3.629 times more likely to be non-compliant in taking iron supplements.
