Anemia in adolescent girls in particular will have a more serious impact, given that they are future mothers. Therefore, the purpose of preventive measure is to reduce the risk of maternal mortality, stunting, wasting, and low birth weight. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, sources of information, perceived susceptibility, and perceived benefits in relation to anemia prevention measures.
This study was carried out using an analytic observational approach with a cross-sectional design. There were a total of 235 female students, and 149 samples of female students at the Islamic Boarding School of Al-Junaidiyah Biru were selected through stratified random sampling. Data analysis was conducted using Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Furthermore, the analysis was performed using the STATA program version 14.0.
The number of female students who had poor preventive measures was 61.74%. Multivariate analysis showed that knowledge [ = 0.001; odds ratio (OR) 4.57; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.90-10.99] and attitude ( = 0.000; OR 12.30; 95% CI: 5.24-28.86) were the most influential factors.
The lack of information about iron-source foods, iron enhancers, iron inhibitors, and the recommendation to take blood supplement tablets for female students living in boarding schools will make them have insufficient knowledge in anemia prevention measures. The lack of information sources regarding anemia prevention is a health problem for female students living in boarding schools.
鉴于青春期女孩未来将成为母亲，她们患贫血症会产生更严重的影响。因此，预防措施的目的是降低孕产妇死亡率、发育迟缓、消瘦和低出生体重的风险。本研究旨在确定与贫血预防措施相关的知识、态度、信息来源、感知易感性和感知益处之间的关系。
本研究采用分析性观察方法和横断面设计。共有235名女学生，通过分层随机抽样从Al-Junaidiyah Biru伊斯兰寄宿学校选取了149名女学生作为样本。使用卡方检验和多元逻辑回归进行数据分析。此外，使用STATA 14.0版本程序进行分析。
预防措施较差的女学生人数占61.74%。多变量分析表明，知识（P = 0.001；优势比[OR] 4.57；95%置信区间[CI]：1.90 - 10.99）和态度（P = 0.000；OR 12.30；95% CI：5.24 - 28.86）是最具影响力的因素。
对于住在寄宿学校的女学生而言，缺乏关于铁源食物、铁强化剂、铁抑制剂以及服用补血片建议的信息，会使她们在贫血预防措施方面知识不足。缺乏关于贫血预防的信息来源对于住在寄宿学校的女学生来说是一个健康问题。
