Edukasi Tentang Anemia Pada Remaja Putri di Pondok Pesantren Nur Al Iman Moncongloe Kabupaten Maros

Abstract

Anemia continues to be a public health concern that mostly affects children, adolescents, women going through menstruation, and pregnant and postpartum women. Anemia in teenage girls must be prevented since it can have long-term effects that extend into adulthood and significantly increase the risk of maternal death, preterm birth, and low birth weight baby. One way to reduce anemia in young women is to raise awareness and comprehension of the condition. This community service project aims to inform young women about anemia, its effects, and methods for preventing anemia. The female students at Nurul Al Iman Islamic Boarding School, specifically the young ladies between the ages of 13 and 18, who are enrolled in middle and high school, were the targets of this initiative. The Nurul Al Iman Islamic Boarding School, located in Moncongloe Bulu Village, Moncongloe District, Maros Regency, South Sulawesi, was the site of this community service project. Events happened in a way that was convenient and orderly. 58 female students and three administrators from female Islamic boarding schools attended the event. The participants paid close attention to the information presented, and at the conclusion, there were discussions and Q&A sessions about anemia in young women. It is envisaged that this anemia-related educational activity will raise awareness and lower the risk of anemia in young women.
