To analyse the correlation of knowledge, family income and peer support with anaemia preventive behaviour among adolescent girls.
The correlational, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Junior High School 3, Sampang, Indonesia, from April to June 2021, and comprised adolescent girls who had gone through menarche and were living with their families. Data was collected using knowledge, peer support and anaemia preventive behaviour questionnaires that were designed based on literature. Data was analysed using Spearman's Rho test.
Of the 156 subjects with mean age 14.0±0.98 years, 60(38.5%) were studying in the 8th grade. The mean age of menarche was 11.91±1.03 years. Anaemia preventive behaviour was significantly associated with knowledge (p=0.000, r=0.277) and peer support (p=0.000, r=0.403), but not with family income (p=0.166, r=0.111).
knowledge level and better peer support were found to improve anaemia preventive behaviour among adolescent girls.
分析知识、家庭收入和同伴支持与少女预防贫血行为之间的相关性。
本相关性、横断面研究于 2021 年 4 月至 6 月在印度尼西亚桑旁的初中 3 年级进行，纳入经历过初潮且与家人同住的少女。使用基于文献设计的知识、同伴支持和预防贫血行为问卷收集数据。使用 Spearman's Rho 检验对数据进行分析。
在 156 名平均年龄为 14.0±0.98 岁的受试者中，60 名（38.5%）正在读 8 年级。初潮的平均年龄为 11.91±1.03 岁。预防贫血行为与知识显著相关（p=0.000，r=0.277）和同伴支持（p=0.000，r=0.403），但与家庭收入无关（p=0.166，r=0.111）。
研究发现，提高知识水平和获得更好的同伴支持可以改善少女预防贫血的行为。
