Factors Associated with Compliance in Iron Tablet Consumption among Adolescent Girls
đ Abstract
Â
Background: Adolescent girls are a group that is vulnerable to anemia, while the level of compliance with iron tablet consumption is still low. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify factors that influence the level of compliance of adolescent girls in consuming iron tablets. Method: This research uses an analytical observational design using a cross-sectional method. A sample of 147 adolescent girls from four schools in the working area of the Kartasura Community Health Center was selected using a proportional random sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability and then analyzed using a logistic regression test. Results: The results of this research revealed that the main factor related to compliance in iron tablet consumption is perceived susceptibility (p-value = 0.009; OR = 2.594; 95% CI: 1.264â5.323). This means that adolescent girls with a high perception of susceptibility are 2.594 times more likely to comply with consuming iron tablets (IBT) than adolescents with a low perception of susceptibility. Conclusion: This study reveals a statistically significant relationship between perceived susceptibility and perceived barriers, as well as the degree of compliance among female adolescents who take iron supplements.
