Penilaian Kesiapan Gizi Calon Pengantin di Kota Salatiga Berdasarkan Status Gizi

Abstract

Kesiapan menikah adalah hal penting yang perlu diperhatikan. Calon pengantin perlu mempersiapkan kondisi kesehatannya agar dapat menjalankan kehamilan yang sehat, karena persiapan kehamilan yang rendah akan menyebabkan peningkatan morbiditas dan mortalitas bagi ibu dan janin. KEK dan Anemia merupakan salah satu masalah gizi yang belum teratasi dan berkaitan dengan kesehatan reproduksi WUS, terutama pada perempuan remaja dan prakonsepsi. Oleh karena itu dalam upaya menilai kesiapan gizi calon pengantin di Kota Salatiga, perlu adanya pengukuran antropometri dan pemeriksaan kadar hemoglobin. Penelitian ini bersifat kuantitatif cross sectional dengan bantuan dari Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA). Sample dipilih berdasarkan purposive sampling sebanyak 68 responden berdasarkan rumus Cochran (1977). Penelitian ini sudah mendapatkan Ethical Clearance (EC). Data status gizi calon pengantin didapatkan melalui hasil pengukuran antropometri dengan indikator berat badan, tinggi badan dan lingkar lengan atas. Data kadar hemoglobin didapatkan dengan cara melihat hasil pengukuran pemeriksaan hemoglobin calon pengantin. Penelitian ini menilai apakah calon pengantin siap dan tidak siap berdasarkan status gizi antropometri dan kadar Hb, dengan cut off point yang ditentukan. Calon pengantin dikategorikan siap jika IMT = 18,5 - 22,9 kg/m2, Lila ≥23.5 cm, dan kadar hemoglobin ≥12 mg/dl. Hasil status gizi mayoritas calon pengantin berdasarkan IMT tergolong normal yaitu sebesar 41,18% dan berdasarkan LILA berada ≥23.5 cm yaitu sebesar 76,47%, kadar hemoglobin mayoritas juga berada di kisaran ≥12 mg/dl yaitu sebesar 92,65%. Kesiapan gizi calon pengantin tergolong sudah cukup siap, namun hal tersebut tetap perlu menjadi perhatian bagi pemerintah dalam memperhatikan gizi prakonsepsi sehingga dapat mengurangi permasalahan kesehatan pada ibu dan anak

Readiness for marriage is an important thing to consider. Prospective brides and grooms need to prepare their health conditions in order to have a healthy pregnancy, because low pregnancy preparation will increase morbidity and mortality for the mother and fetus. KEK and Anemia are one of the nutritional problems that have not been resolved and are related to the reproductive health of WUS, especially in adolescent and preconception women. Therefore, in an effort to assess the nutritional readiness of prospective brides and grooms in Salatiga City, it is necessary to measure anthropometry and examine hemoglobin levels. This study is quantitative cross-sectional with assistance from the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). The sample was selected based on purposive sampling of 68 respondents based on the Cochran formula (1977). This study has obtained Ethical Clearance (EC). Data on the nutritional status of prospective brides and grooms were obtained through the results of anthropometric measurements with indicators of body weight, height and upper arm circumference. Data on hemoglobin levels were obtained by looking at the results of hemoglobin examination measurements of prospective brides and grooms. This study assesses whether prospective brides and grooms are ready and not ready based on anthropometric nutritional status and Hb levels, with a predetermined cut-off point. Prospective brides are categorized as ready if BMI = 18.5 - 22.9 kg / m2, Lila ≥23.5 cm, and hemoglobin levels ≥12 mg / dl. The results of the nutritional status of the majority of prospective brides based on BMI are classified as normal, which is 41.18% and based on LILA is ≥23.5 cm, which is 76.47%, the majority of hemoglobin levels are also in the range of ≥12 mg / dl, which is 92.65%. The nutritional readiness of prospective brides is classified as quite ready, but this still needs to be a concern for the government in paying attention to preconception nutrition so that it can reduce health problems in mothers and children.
