Background: It is estimated that 49.2% of Indonesian adolescents (10-19 years) have iron deficiency of anemia. Green vegetables can be used as an alternative consumption to meet the body's need for iron. Kelakai (Stenochlaena palustris) containing 291.32 mg-100 g of Fe has been consumed by Dayak ethnic society to prevent anemia.Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Kelakai (Stenochlaena palustris) consumptions to increase hemoglobin levels among late adolescents (17-19 years).Methods: It was a quasy-experiment with pre-test and post-test study on anemic Midwifery students (8-11 g / dl) of Betang Asi Midwifery Academy of Palangka Raya in September 2017. In which Kelakai was given as dietary supplements of the subject line and ferrous fumarate tablet as a control. There were 66 participants recruited by purposive sampling, divided into 33 subjects for each group. Kelakai (Stenochlaena palustris) (250 mg) and ferrous fumarate tablet (60 mg) were administrated daily for a week. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after intervention using the hemoglobin testing system quick-check tool. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-test.Result: The result showed of significant increases on hemoglobin levels (3.24 g / dl) after consuming Kelakai (Stenochlaena palustris) for a week (p≤0.05). The hemoglobin levels after intervention in the control group were 0.03 g / dl higher than Kelakai group, but based on the analysis, there was no significant difference on both groups (p≥0.05).Conclusion: Kelakai is proven to increase hemoglobin levels. Thus, Kelakai (Stenochlaena palustris) is recommended a food supplementation to prevent iron deficiency of anemia.

One of the problems suffered by toddlers is stunting caused by low birth weight (LBW). The number of stunting incidents in Indonesia in 2016 was 27.5% (Ministry of Health, 2016), while the incidence of stunting in Yogyakarta in 2016 was 14.4% Stunting can lead to poor motor and mental development at an early age, as well as poor cognitive presentations and school presentations in advanced childhood (Nutrition Section of the DIY Health Office, 2014). One of the efforts to prevent stunting is to see the knowledge of mothers about stunting. The purpose of this study was to determine the Knowledge Description of Stunting Prevention in mothers with LBW children at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital Yogyakarta.

The maternal knowledge about stunting, in the good category is 209 (80%), and in the fair category is 5 (20%). The maternal knowledge on prevention of stunting in LBW babies in the good category is 22 (88%), and in the poor category is 3 (12%). In the future, it is hoped that mothers with low birth weight babies can increase their knowledge of stunting prevention.
