Kadar hemoglobin pada remaja putri yang sedang menstruasi di desa Donoyudan Kalijambe Sragen

Abstract

Abstract Background: Hemoglobin levels in menstruating adolescent girls are not only an important indicator for assessing their reproductive health status, but also play an important role in understanding other aspects of wellbeing. Sufficient hemoglobin levels indicate optimal body function, especially in terms of transporting oxygen to all organs and tissues. This research was conducted because of the lack of information regarding hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. Purpose: To provide an overview of hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls who are menstruating. Method: Quantitative research uses a descriptive approach to hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls who are menstruating. The research was carried out in Donoyudan Village, Kalijambe, Sragen in October-November 2023. The simple random sampling method was carried out by randomizing 30 neighborhood units and selecting 1 adolescent girls from each neighborhood, so that a sample of 30 people was obtained. Data analysis uses the Wilcoxon test to determine the relationship between two variables. Results: The average decrease in hemoglobin levels before and after menstruation is 16 mg/dL. These results indicate a decrease in hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls after menstruation due to loss of iron in the body. This data also shows that there are no young women whose hemoglobin levels remain stable after menstruation. Based on the Wilcoxon hypothesis test, Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) <0.001 (<0.05). Conclusion: There are changes in hemoglobin levels before and after young women experience menstruation and most have low hemoglobin levels after menstruation.
