Early marriage remains a significant issue contributing to the high prevalence of stunting in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas. The lack of awareness among adolescents and parents regarding the negative impacts of early marriage and the importance of proper nutrition is a major contributing factor. The PENA EMAS (Early Marriage Prevention for Stunting Elimination Towards Healthy Children) program was implemented in Tanjung Buaya Village as part of the KKN-T Posko 22 UNIMMAN initiative to raise public awareness about the dangers of early marriage and its link to stunting risk. This program utilized three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Activities included educational sessions, adolescent health screenings, local vegetable planting initiatives, and interactive media such as podcasts and educational competitions. The evaluation results showed an increase in community awareness of family planning and nutrition fulfillment, with five adolescents identified as having anemia based on hemoglobin (Hb) level tests. The conclusion of this program is that community-based educational interventions with participatory approaches can enhance awareness among adolescents and parents in preventing early marriage and reducing stunting risk. Recommended follow-up actions include regular health check-ups, adolescent mentoring, and the empowerment of Youth Ambassadors for Stunting Prevention to ensure the program’s sustainability.

Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder characterized by a deficiency of globin chain products in hemoglobin which results in low Hb levels. Blood transfusion is a treatment used in thalassemia patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of blood transfusion compliance in pediatric thalassemia patients at Cut Meutia General Hospital, North Aceh. The research method used a descriptive observational design, with 95 respondents and data collection using medical records and questionnaires. The results showed that 43.2% of respondents were predominantly early adolescents, 54.7% of respondents were predominantly male, 42.1% of respondents were predominantly blood type O, 58.9% of respondents had hemoglobin levels ≥7 g/dl, 87.4% of respondents had a blood transfusion frequency of 2-4 weeks. 53.7% of respondents had high compliance. Based on this, it can be concluded that the level of blood transfusion compliance in pediatric thalassemia patients at Cut Meutia General Hospital, North Aceh, mostly had high compliance.

Diarrhea can be defined as a condition in which a person defecates with more liquid feces than usual and with a frequency of three or more times in 24 hours. Diarrhea is closely related to the occurrence of stunting cases. Diarrhea generally attacks toddlers because their immune systems are still weak and vulnerable. WHO and UNICEF policies in the treatment of diarrhea are the provision of oralit and zinc, based on research over 20 years. Iron plays a role in various physiological processes of the body, one of which is the immune system. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between hemoglobin levels and compliance with zinc intake with the incidence of recurrent diarrhea in toddlers at the Jaury Jusuf Putera Makassar Academic Hospital. The research design used was a non-experimental analytical cross-sectional study, namely a study conducted observationally to see the relationship between hemoglobin levels and compliance with zinc intake with the incidence of recurrent diarrhea, without providing treatment to the research subjects. The sample in the study was toddlers who experienced recurrent diarrhea at the Jaury Jusuf Putera Makassar Academic Hospital in March - May 2024 as many as 32 people. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between hemoglobin levels and the incidence of recurrent diarrhea (p = 0.015). And there was a relationship between compliance with zinc consumption and the incidence of recurrent diarrhea (p = 0.004). It is recommended that health workers provide more education and control over the use of zinc drugs given in the management of diarrhea, as well as educate to maintain normal hemoglobin levels in toddlers. So that it can reduce the prevalence of recurrent diarrhea.

Anemia in pregnancy is a condition in which the hemoglobin level in the blood is below normal. This condition is caused by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or a decrease in hemoglobin levels, which results in a decrease in the oxygen transport capacity needed by important organs for both the mother and the fetus. Types of research and techniques for obtaining primary and secondary data. The subject of the study, pregnant women in Mrs. Y, 32 years old, G6P4A1, gestational age 39 weeks 3 days, single fetus, alive, intrauterine, with the lowest part of the head, experiencing mild anemia. Place of research, at RSKD Ibu dan Anak Pertiwi Makassar. Conclusion of the research results, From the Midwifery Care given to Mrs. Y with Mild Anemia at RSKD Ibu dan Anak Pertiwi Makassar, using 7 steps Varney went smoothly and there was no potential diagnosis.

The study highlighted an alarming rise in anemia cases among pregnant women in Batam City, with a dramatic increase in incidence from 26.3% in 2022 to 52.65% in 2023. Conducted at Posyandu Bakau Serip and Sakura Indah Sambau Community Health Center, this cross-sectional research aimed to assess the correlation between protein intake and anemia incidence among 45 pregnant women selected using purposive sampling. Protein intake was evaluated through a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), and anemia was determined by measuring hemoglobin levels. Using the Chi-square test, the study revealed a significant relationship between protein intake and anemia (p = 0.031). Insufficient protein intake was associated with a notably higher risk of anemia. These findings emphasize the critical role of adequate protein consumption during pregnancy in reducing the risk of anemia and its associated complications.

Anemia in pregnancy is a condition of pregnant women with hemoglobin (Hb) levels <11 mg/dL in the first and third trimesters while in the second trimester Hb levels <10.5 mg/dL and can be a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. One of the causes of anemia in pregnancy is chronic energy deficiency (CED). This study aims to analyze the relationship between chronic energy deficiency and anemia in the first trimester of pregnancy. This research method is observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. The number of samples was 91 respondents with a total sampling technique. The independent variable is chronic energy deficiency. The dependent variable is anemia in pregnant women. The instrument used was a maternal cohort register. Data analysis used the Spearman Rank statistical test. The results of the study were obtained from 91 respondents who experienced chronic energy deficiency as many as 12 people. Of these, 7 mothers (58.3%) experienced anemia and 5 mothers (41.7%) did not experience anemia. Based on the results of the Spearman Rank statistical test, a significance value of 0.000 was obtained, a correlation coefficient of 0.590 with a positive direction, which means that there is a significant relationship between chronic energy deficiency and the occurrence of anemia in the first trimester of pregnancy with a fairly close relationship and a positive relationship direction. It is hoped that women of childbearing age will pay more attention to nutritional intake in order to prevent the occurrence of chronic energy deficiency as a cause of anemia during pregnancy.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that weakens the immune system. HIV in pregnant women is one of the major health problems that is of concern throughout the world. In this case report, a patient aged 38 years G3P2A0, gestational age 37-40 weeks with complaints of coughing, shortness of breath, weight loss, burning sensation in the mouth in the form of white lesions that almost fill the entire oral cavity. The patient has a history of glandular TB and has received treatment for 6 months in the past 2 years. On the physical examination of the patient, the general condition of the patient was found to be seriously ill, composure of consciousness, blood pressure 100/70 mmHg, pulse rate: 78x/I, respiratory rate: 20x/I, temperature: 36.8ºC, SpO2: 98%, body weight 40 kg and height 157 cm. On examination of the general status of the skin, a reddish rash in the form of small vesicles was found on the right and left arms, back, neck and head. In the mouth and throat, white spots were found in the oral cavity, from the sides of the tongue to the throat. Laboratory investigations showed decreased hemoglobin levels, electrolyte imbalance, hypoalbumin. Serological examination revealed HIV (+) reactivity. Investigation of a PA chest photo showed infiltrate spots at the apex of the left medial lobe. Patients diagnosed with Std IV HIV + oesophageal candidiasis + pulmonary TB + hypoalbuminemia + anemia were given non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments.

Approximately 40% of pregnant women worldwide experience anemia. Anemia during pregnancy can cause various serious complications, including premature birth, low birth weight, and even increase the risk of maternal and infant death. Complementary therapy can be an alternative for preventing and treating anemia in pregnant women. This study aims to review research articles related to complementary therapy that can be used to treat anemia in pregnant women. Literature searches through academic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect. Literature selection was carried out based on inclusion criteria (scientific articles in the last 5 years, English/Indonesian, relevant topics) and exclusion (irrelevant articles, no abstract/full-text). Interventions such as acupuncture, yoga, traditional herbs, moringa leaves, spinach and beetroot juice can be safe and natural solutions to increase hemoglobin levels. The selection of the appropriate method can be adjusted according to individual preferences, accessibility, and the level of anemia experienced.  

Background: Anemia is a condition that describes the total number of red blood cells that operate to carry oxygen has decreased to meet the body's physiological needs. Pregnant women are said to be anemic if their hemoglobin (Hb) level is <11g/dL. Anemia in pregnant women is caused by lack of intake of iron-rich foods, lack of vitamin C intake, short pregnancy intervals (parity). Objective: To carry out midwifery care for Mrs M G1P0A0H0, 25 years old, 30-31 weeks pregnant with a mild case of anemia. Methodology: with a midwifery care approach, namely SOAP which includes subjective, objective, assessment, plan, and implementation and evaluation sheets, carried out on 09 September 2024 to 23 September 2024 at the patient's house in Aik Are Hamlet, Ubung Village, Jonggat District. The results of the midwifery care that was carried out on Mrs M G1P0A0H0, 25 years old, 30-31 weeks pregnant with mild anemia, were carried out by giving Fe blood supplement tablets, Vitamin C, Vitamin B complex, and Calcium lactate. After 1 week of midwifery care, the mother experienced improvement. Hb 11.3 gr/dL and no discrepancy was found between theory and case. Conclusion: There was an increase in Hb in pregnant women after consuming Fe tablets, vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, and Calcium lactate for 1 week. Health workers are expected to be able to carry out health promotions about the importance of consuming Fe tablets, Vitamin C, Vitamin B complex, and Calcium lactate to increase iron absorption in the body.

Anemia in pregnant women is a health problem that is often faced in Indonesia. Anemia requires special attention because it can have a significant impact on maternal and neonatal health. Based on data for May 2024 at the Bumisari Village posyandu, there were 67 pregnant women and 46.2% of them had anemia. An effort to increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia is by giving them dates which contain high levels of iron. The aim of the research is to determine the effect of giving dates to increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia in Bumisari Natar Village in 2024. Quantitative research type, pre-experimental research method with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. The population is all 67 pregnant women recorded in May 2024 with a sample of 31 respondents. 7 dates were given per day for 7 consecutive days. Data collection used observation sheets, univariate and bivariate data analysis (t-test). Based on the research results, it is known that the average hemoglobin level of pregnant women with anemia before consuming dates is 9,652 gr/dl, while the average hemoglobin level of pregnant women with anemia after consuming dates is 11,545 gr/dl. There was an effect of giving dates to increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia in Bumisari Natar Village in 2024 (p-value 0.001) with a difference in increase in hemoglobin levels of 1,893 gr/dl. Advice for health workers, especially midwives, is to advise pregnant women to consume dates as a companion to Fe tablets because they can increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women.

Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a low number of red blood cells or low hemoglobin levels in the blood, namely <12 mg/dl for women and <13 mg/dl for men, thereby reducing the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen to the body's tissues which can cause fatigue. and decreased physical endurance which affects daily activities. This study aims to determine the description of the anemia status of the community in Rahandouna sub-district, Poasia sub-district, Kendari city. The research design used is descriptive, using a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study was 50 respondents with an age range of 15 to 50 years. The tool used in this study was easy touch to measure the hemoglobin levels of respondents which are an indicator of anemia. The results showed that respondents with low hemoglobin levels reached 14% and the rest were in the normal category. From the results of this study, it was concluded that the problem of anemia in this area was not significant enough.

Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein that functions to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. Anemia, caused by iron deficiency, can affect physical health and academic performance, particularly in adolescents and students. Factors such as diet, habits, and socio-economic status contribute to the incidence of anemia. Anemia can lead to fatigue, reduced concentration, and decreased physical endurance. Therefore, improving nutritional status is crucial to support health and academic achievement.

This study was conducted at the Thalassemia Center of Azadi Educational Hospital, Kirkuk Health Directorate, Iraq, from June 1, 2024, to October 1, 2024. The study sample included 75 individuals, both males and females, aged between 4 and 67 years, divided into two groups: the first group comprised 50 thalassemia patients, while the control group included 25 healthy individuals. The results indicated a significant effect of thalassemia on the studied variables, as the disease led to increased levels of white blood cells, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, total iron-binding capacity, malondialdehyde, iron concentration, and lipoxygenase enzyme, recording values of 10.9 × 103 cells/mL, 25.36%, 321.84 µg/dL, 721.12 mmol/L, 2788.9 ng/dL, and 226.2 IU/L, respectively. In contrast, thalassemia reduced hemoglobin levels to 8.57 g/L. The gender category significantly affected both malondialdehyde and iron concentrations, while the age category significantly impacted white blood cell levels, total iron-binding capacity, serum iron, and lipoxygenase enzyme. Among the interactions, the most influential factor was found in the group of female patients over 30 years old, who recorded the highest significant concentrations of white blood cells and malondialdehyde, reaching 12.26 × 103 cells/mL and 1090 mmol/L. Conversely, female patients under 15 years showed the highest significant averages for the percentage of erythrocyte sedimentation rate and iron concentration, at 28% and 3270 ng/dL, respectively. Meanwhile, female patients aged 15-30 years exhibited the highest significant concentrations for total iron-binding capacity and lipoxygenase enzyme, at 361.8 µg/dL and 234 IU/L, respectively. Male patients aged 15-30 years recorded the lowest significant hemoglobin concentration, which was 7.33 g/L.

One of the indicators based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 2030) is to support welfare and ensure a healthy life for all at all ages with the most important point being to reduce maternal mortality to less than 70 per 100,000 live births and prevent neonatal and toddler mortality rates of at least 12 per 1000 live births and 25 per 1000 live births in toddlers. A study was conducted to determine the effect of giving red guava juice on changes in hemoglobin levels in pregnant women in the third trimester at PMB Debby Deliserdang in 2022. In this study, the sample used was all pregnant women in the third trimester in March to May 2022, totaling 12 people. The study showed that in the intervention group before giving red guava juice, the majority had moderate anemia with a frequency of 8 respondents (66.7%) and a minority were normal with a frequency of 1 respondent (8.3%). Meanwhile, after giving red guava juice, the majority were normal with a frequency of 7 respondents (53.8%) and a minority of moderate anemia as much as 1 respondent (8.3%). The results of the analysis test in this study using Mann Whithney showed a P-Value of 0.022 (P <0.05), namely that there is an effect of giving red guava juice on increasing hemoglobin in pregnant women in the second trimester. Pregnant women, especially pregnant women who experience anemia, are expected to routinely consume red guava juice because if consumed properly, red guava juice has many benefits, especially for pregnant women so that it can meet the nutritional needs required by the body and can maximize iron absorption.

Midwives are one of the health workers in reducing maternal and infant mortality rates by providing continuous midwifery services, promotion through partnerships and empowering communities with other health workers. The sample in this study was 24 pregnant women in the second and third trimesters consisting of 12 respondents for the control group and 12 respondents for the intervention group. The time of the study was May to June at the Negri Lama Health Center in 2022. The time of the study was May to June at the Negri Lama Health Center in 2022. The results of the bivariate analysis test using Mann Whitney showed a P-Value of 0.022 (P <0.05) so Ho was rejected, which means that there is a significant effect of giving dates on increasing hemoglobin in pregnant women in the second trimester. Pregnant women, especially pregnant women who experience anemia, are expected to routinely consume iron tablets and dates because if consumed properly, dates have many benefits, especially for pregnant women and dates do not have side effects on the fetus or mother so that they can meet the nutritional needs required by the body and can maximize iron absorption.

One of the government's steps to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates starts from adolescence by giving blood-boosting tablets to pregnant women Anemia is defined as a low hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in the blood. The high coverage of giving 90 Fe tablets to pregnant women does not guarantee a reduction in anemia if adherence to Fe tablets is still low. The research aims to determine the relationship between the level of compliance with the consumption of Fe tablets and the incidence of anemia in third trimester pregnant women. The observational research design uses a cross-sectional design. The research sample of third trimester pregnant women at Bhayangkara Banjarmasin Hospital consisted of 25 respondent. Sampling used Random Sampling technique. Data analysis includes univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square statistical test. The statistical test results showed that there was a relationship between the level of compliance with the consumption of Fe tablets and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the third trimester at Bhayangkara Hospital, Banjarmasin. The lower the mother's level of compliance with taking Fe tablets, the greater the risk of developing anemia. The results of this study were that the majority of respondents studied had non-compliance in consuming blood supplement tablets (28%) and respondents who experienced anemia were (72%). The result was a p value <0.01, so there was a relationship between adherence to iron consumption and anemia. Respondents who did not comply with iron consumption had a 25.0 times greater risk of anemia. The conclusion in this study is that there is a relationship between compliance with Fe tablet consumption in TM III pregnant women and the incidence of anemia at Bhayangkara Banjarmasin Hospital.

Anemia is a condition of hemoglobin (Hb) levels in the blood (Hb<11gr/dl) which is caused by a lack of nutrients needed for the formation of Hb. In Indonesia, most anemia is caused by a lack of iron (Fe), so it is called iron deficiency anemia or iron nutritional anemia. Pregnant women are a group that is vulnerable to nutritional problems, especially iron deficiency anemia. Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is still a public health problem due to its high prevalence and impact on the health of mothers and babies. The high prevalence of ADB affects almost all age groups in society. One community group that has a high prevalence of ADB is pregnant women (Ani, 2018). This type of research is analytical observational research using a cross sectional approach, namely to analyze the factors that influence the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the third trimester of the UPTD Peureulak Health Center, East Aceh Regency, Aceh Province in 2024. Based on the results of the initial survey conducted by researchers at the UPTD Peureulak Health Center, East Aceh Regency, Aceh Province in 2024, it was found that of the 5 pregnant women whose hemoglobin was measured, 2 people had anemia. So from this description, the author is interested in conducting research on "Factors that Influence the Incidence of Anemia in Pregnant Women in the Third Trimester of UPTD Peureulak Health Center, East Aceh Regency, Aceh Province in 2024".

Anemia in adolescent girls is a common health problem that can affect their quality of life. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of consuming eggs and iron (Fe) tablets in increasing hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls with anemia at Puskesmas Ciputat in 2023. This research employs a quantitative design with a quasi-experimental approach and a One Group Pretest and Posttest method. The sample consisted of 60 adolescent girls, divided into two groups: the intervention group (30 participants) consumed 1 boiled egg and an Fe tablet daily for 14 days, while the control group (30 participants) only consumed Fe tablets. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant increase in hemoglobin levels in the intervention group compared to the control group. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of combining egg consumption with Fe tablets as a strategy to address anemia in adolescent girls, which could be an alternative solution for public health programs at Puskesmas Ciputat

Given that these substances' levels are essential for informing medicalpersonnel about the body's reaction to the different treatments beingadministered, this study was planned to assessment some physiologicalvariations to infants infected with hyperbilirubinemia. This will help themedical staff manage the condition properly with lower morbidity andmortality. In this study, 60 patients and 40 healthy controls (clinicallyevaluated by a specialist physician) are selected from males who are only1 year old. This study conducted in Al-hussein medical city Hospital inKarbala city. This study showed that significant decrease in weight,hemoglobin and packed cell volume in patients in comparison withhealthy, while noted significant increase in total white blood cells inpatients comparison with healthy, while showed there are insignificantchange in red blood cells and platelet.

Around 41.8% of pregnant women around the world experience anemia. The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in the world is estimated at around 57.1% in Africa, 48.2% in Asia, 25.1% in Europe and 24.1% in America. The results of Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2013, the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia was around 37.1%, with hemoglobin levels < 11.0 g/dL approaching the proportion between urban areas 36.4% and rural areas 37.8%. Based on the 2001 Household Health Survey (SKRT), the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women was 40.1%. Meanwhile, the 2004 DKI Jakarta survey showed that the prevalence rate of anemia in pregnant women was 43.5%. The general aim of this research was to determine differences in hemoglobin levels in pregnant women in the first, second and third trimesters at the Gebang Health Center, Langkat Regency in 2024. Hemoglobin examination in pregnant women aims to To find out whether the mother is experiencing blood deficiency or not, namely by checking hemoglobin levels during pregnancy. The method is quantitative research with an analytical survey method using a cross sectional design, namely, a study that concerns risk factors using a retrospective approach. Analysis shows that there are differences in hemoglobin levels in the first, second and third trimesters. The average hemoglobin levels in the first trimester (11.7 g/dL) and II (11.0 g/dL) were still within normal limits, while the hemoglobin in the third trimester (10.2 g/dL) was abnormal. Hemoglobin levels < 11.0 g/dL in pregnant women can be said to be anemia, whereas if hemoglobin levels in pregnant women are > 11.0 g/dL it is not said to be anemia. So it can be seen that hemoglobin levels in the third trimester are lower than hemoglobin levels in the first and second trimesters. Pregnant women are expected to be able to check their pregnancy by carrying out an HB examination.
