Latar belakang: Merokok telah terbukti menimbulkan berbagai gangguan kesehatan bahkan kematian, namun penikmat rokok terus meningkat. Kelompok remaja dan dewasa muda menjadi target konsumen utama rokok beranggapan merokok tidak menimbulkan efek bagi kesehatan sampai usia pertengahan. Derajat merokok seseorang mempengaruhi jumlah paparan gas karbonmonoksida (CO) dalam tubuh. CO yang menempel pada hemoglobin mengakibatkan kadar oksigen dalam tubuh menurun.  Tujuan : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa hubungan derajat merokok dengan saturasi oksigen pada mahasiswa Akper Kesdam IV/ Diponegoro Semarang. Metode: Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif observasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 30 mahasiswa yang diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengukur derajat merokok menggunakan kuesioner yang kemudian dihitung berdasarkan Indeks Brinkman, kadar saturasi oksigen diukur dengan pulse oxymetry. Data dianalisa dengan uji Kruskal-Wallis. Hasil: Hasil uji Kruskal-Wallis menunjukkan terdapat hubungan signifikan antara derajat merokok dengan saturasi oksigen dengan p=0,000. Hasil penelitian membuktikan semakin berat derajat merokok maka semakin rendah kadar saturasi oksigennya. Saran : Pengukuran derajat merokok dan saturasi oksigen perokok direkomendasikan sebagai data dasar pengkajian keperawatan dalam pembuatan intervensi program berhenti merokok.

Pregnancy can cause the body to be very susceptible to low hemoglobin levels, which during pregnancy require sufficient iron for the body. If the body loses iron, anemia will occur, because the body requires the intake of foods that contain iron. Anemia itself where the value of the hemoglobin level is less than the normal value or below the normal value. So if a pregnant woman has a hemoglobin level below the normal value, she will be prone to anemia. The risk of anemia during pregnancy can occur in the fetus because it can affect the growth and development of the fetus and baby, as well as babies born prematurely or with reduced body weight. Dates are a fruit which contains many benefits for the body, one of which is to prevent anemia. The content of the date palm itself contains nutrients for the body such as protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, thiamine, ribovalfin, nicotinic acid, and iron. To determine hemoglobin levels in pregnant women before and after giving dates. The research method used this time was preexperimental with a one-group pre-test post-test research design. While the examination using the cyanmethemoglobin method. The results of the study of hb levels before being given dates with an average result of 11.94 and after being given dates the average result was 12.65 which showed an increase in hb levels. Data analysis using the Paired Sample Test statistical test obtained the results of sig (2 tailed) of 0.207 or > 0.05. From the results of the statistical analysis of the Paired Sample Test, it can be said that Ho is accepted, which means that there is no significant effect on the administration of dates on hemoglobin levels before and after.  

Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD) is a disease condition where there is a decrease in kidney function, no longer able to carry out its function of filtering the blood, removing toxins and unable to remove waste products from the blood effectively, characterized by the presence of protein in the urine and a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate. Hemodialysis is a kidney replacement therapy method that is often used to manage CKD. The prevalence of CKD in Indonesia continues to increase every year with some patients undergoing hemodialysis. CKD patients undergoing HD are susceptible to anemia. Anemia in CKD patients can be caused by blood loss during dialysis procedures, and disturbances in iron metabolism. The aim of the study was to analyze changes in hemoglobin levels in CKD patients after undergoing hemodialysis. The research was carried out in a descriptive observational manner through an initial screening stage, an examination stage by measuring hemoglobin levels before and after the hemodialysis session and readings using a Mindray BC-5830. The examination results showed that the hemoglobin levels of CKD patients increased after undergoing HD. Hemoglobin levels in male CKD patients were higher than female patients both before and after undergoing HD. The conclusion of this study is that HD has an effect on increasing hemoglobin levels in CKD patients, both female and male patients.    

Iron (Fe) tablets are mineral tablets that the body uses to make red blood cells and hemoglobin. For red blood cell production, Fe is the most significant element. Food is a natural source of iron. Nutritional anemia can develop in pregnant women if they don't get enough iron in their diet (blood deficiency). Pregnant women need iron (Fe) tablets, so they must consume at least 90 Fe tablets during pregnancy. The aim of the research was to determine the relationship between consumption of Fe tablets and the incidence of anemia at the Penrang Community Health Center, Wajo Regency. The type of research used was a cross sectional study. The samples were 72 pregnant women who underwent pregnancy checks at the Penrang Community Health Center, Wajo Regency, using a random sampling technique. The research results showed a relationship between consumption of Fe tablets and the incidence of anemia at the Penrang Health Center, Wajo Regency, where the p value = 0.000 < ? = 0.05. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between the consumption of Fe tablets and the incidence of anemia at the Penrang Community Health Center, Wajo Regency.
