ABSTRACT
Background. Health is a problem that is often faced by teenagers. Four health problems
experienced by many Indonesian youth include iron deficiency (anemia), Stunting, chronic
energy deficiency (thin), and overweight or obesity. Anemia is a health problem with a high
prevalence in Indonesian adolescents, which is as much as 32%. The results of periodic
examinations conducted by the Pataruman 2 Health Center from January to March 2023 found
quite a lot, namely that there were 32 people out of 126 with anemia. The incidence of anemia in
adolescents is influenced by several factors, namely knowledge, genetics and trauma. Therefore
it is needed to determine the level of knowledge of adolescents about Anemia in Batulawang
Village, Pataruman District, Banjar City, West Java Province in 2023
Objective. The aims of the study were to find out the level of knowledge of adolescents about
anemia, to know the description of the needs of adolescents for health services outside the health
center and to know the description of youth satisfaction with existing health services.
Method. This study used a qualitative method with consecutive sampling techniques. The
research sample was obtained as many as 96 respondents who met the criteria. The study used 3
data, namely: primary data using a questionnaire on youth knowledge about anemia and a
questionnaire SMD regarding the need for youth posyandu services, secondary data using
historical reports from the Pataruman 2 Health Center and tertiary data using tertiary data from
KBBI and “Petunjuk Teknis Penyelenggaran Posyandu Remaja Tahun 2018” handbook.
Results. The questionnaire has balanced results with the number of respondents who answered
correctly and the number of incorrect answers is not much different in each question point. Even
though the respondents knew the definition of anemia, there were still many who did not know
the normal Hb limit (53.6%) and also many did not know how to treat anemia (48.2%). In this
study, questionnaires were also distributed regarding the need for youth posyandu services and
86.6% of respondents answered that they needed youth posyandu services.

Conclusions. Based on the results of the study, it was found that most of the adolescents in
Batulawang Village had knowledge about anemia, but even so, there were still many teenagers
who had anemia. Therefore, further intervention is needed, one of which is by procuring a youth
Posyandu. And it was found that almost all of them stated that they needed youth posyandu
services in Batulawang Village.
