Background: Sugar Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) are drinks with high added sugar content and low nutritional value, known to be one of the contributing factors to overweight in adolescents. Excessive consumption of SSBs can lead to an increase in daily calorie intake, which contributes to the risk of weight gain and obesity. This study was aimed to the effect of Sugar Sweetened Beverages consumption on the risk of weight gain in 10th grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Batam.

Methods: This study was an analytic observational design with a longitudinal approach. A total of 87 respondents were selected using cluster random sampling. Data collection was conducted using the Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) and weight measurements were taken using a digital scale at the beginning and end of a one-month period. The data were analyzed using Independent Sample T-Test.

Results: The results showed a significant difference in weight gain between respondents with excessive SSB consumption (1.550 kg) and those with adequate consumption (0.046 kg), with a statistical test result of p-value = 0.000.

Conclusion: There was a significant effect of Sugar-Sweetened Beverage consumption on weight gain among adolescents.

Data were collected through questionnaires and hemoglobin levels were measured using the Easy Touch device. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test.

Results: The Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between compliance with iron tablet intake and the incidence of iron deficiency anemia (p = 0.001).

Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between iron tablet compliance and the incidence of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women at the Sei Langkai Public Health Center.

HUBUNGAN PENGETAHUAN DENGAN TINDAKAN DETEKSI DINI KANKER SERVIKS MELALUI METODE PAP SMEAR DI RSUD EMBUNG FATIMAH KOTA BATAM

2025-11-28T10:51:02+08:00

Background: Cervical cancer is a leading cause of death among Indonesian women, mainly due to late diagnosis. Pap Smear is an effective early detection method, yet its coverage remains low despite frequent education efforts. Women's knowledge is believed to influence screening decisions.

Methods: A descriptive correlative study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 96 married women aged 20–65 years, selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Fisher Exact Test.

Results: Most respondents had good knowledge about cervical cancer (86.5%) and early detection of Pap Smear (89.6%), but only 26.0% had ever had a Pap Smear examination. Bivariate analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between knowledge of cervical cancer and Pap Smear examination (p = 0.503). However, there was a significant relationship between knowledge of early detection of Pap Smear and Pap Smear examination (p = 0.059).

Conclusion: Specific and applicable knowledge about Pap Smear has been proven to influence early detection actions, while general knowledge about cervical cancer is not enough to encourage screening actions. Health education should be focused on practical aspects to encourage increased participation of women in cervical cancer screening.
