Aims: This study aimed to analyze the role of community-based education in enhancing the effectiveness of the Juminten Tabah model in anemia prevention behavior among adolescent girls.
Materials & Methods: This experimental study employed a two-group pre-test-post-test approach, including a control group, involving 100 participants divided equally into intervention and control groups. The intervention consisted of administering iron supplementation tablets every Friday, supported by community-based educational sessions conducted in schools. Data collection included pre- and post-test assessments using structured questionnaires and hemoglobin level measurements. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-tests to evaluate within-group differences and independent t-tests to compare outcomes between the intervention and control groups.
Findings: The intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in hemoglobin levels and anemia prevention behaviors compared to the control group (p<0.05). The proportion of adolescents with normal hemoglobin levels increased from 10% to 20% in the intervention group, whereas the control group exhibited a more modest increase from 8% to 12%. Additionally, the mean score for anemia prevention behaviors in the intervention group increased substantially from 48.40 to 67.20.
Conclusion: Community-based education through the Juminten Tabah model significantly improves anemia prevention behaviors and hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls.
