Abstract

One of the government programs to prevent anemia among adolescents is the provision of iron supplementation tablets to adolescents 4 times a month (1 tablet every week). The distribution of iron supplementation tablets has been carried out by Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) to every junior high school and senior high school. However, some students still suffered from anemia. This uncooperative behavior of taking iron supplementation tablets can cause a problem in preventing and treating anemia. This behavior might be due to lack of knowledge and motivation, feelings of boredom or laziness, unpleasant taste and aroma of the tablets, as well as the side effects experienced after taking the tablets, such as nausea and vomiting. As a result, the program of “Pena Sahabat” was conducted to solve these obstacles. This program is in the form of supervision, reminders, and motivating fellow high school students in the effort of raising the awareness of taking iron supplementation tablets. Thus, Pena Sahabat Officers, who were selected from KKR (re: Kader Kesehatan Remaja) or Adolescent Health Cadres, carried a duty to monitor their peers in taking iron supplementation tablets every week. Their activity was documented in the Pena Sahabat Card. Based on the monitoring results from 12th-27th January 2024, all 62 female adolescents at MTs Siti Khadijah have taken iron supplement tablets. Consequently, many female adolescents have become more committed to consuming the iron supplementation tablets.
