Description
Introduction: The study explores the connection between anemia in
adolescent girls and the risk of stunting in their future children. To prevent
this, researchers developed the CANTIK program, which combines
acupressure techniques and iron supplementation. The aim is to evaluate
the program's effectiveness in improving hemoglobin levels and
preventing anemia in adolescent girls.
Methods: A pre-experiment with a one-group pretest-post-test design was
conducted to evaluate the effect of acupressure and blood supplement
tablets on hemoglobin levels. The study involved 33 second-year
adolescent girls from SMAN 3 Denpasar, selected through stratified
random sampling from 149. Participants met the criteria of having
menstruation and being healthy. Hemoglobin levels were measured before
and after the one-month intervention using a hemoglobin meter, with
results analyzed using a paired t-test.
Results: The average age of participants was 16, with most having a normal
BMI (54.40%), not being at risk of chronic energy deficiency (72.70%), and
having regular (81.82%) and normal-length periods (93.94%). The study
showed a significant increase in hemoglobin levels from pre-intervention
(Mean = 11.60, SD = 1.27) to post-intervention (Mean = 12.51, SD = 1.11)
with a p-value of 0.001. The mean increase was 0.97, with a 95%
confidence interval. Additionally, compliance with blood supplement
tablet consumption rose from 0% to 97.0% after one month.
Conclusion: Blood supplement tablet consumption and acupressure
significantly increased adolescent girls' hemoglobin levels. Applying
acupressure as a complementary therapy to increase hemoglobin levels is
highly recommended.
