Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Anaemia is a condition that develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells or haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is a main part of red blood cells and binds oxygen. If you have too few or abnormal red blood cells, or your haemoglobin is abnormal or low the cells in your body will not get enough oxygen. STATEMENT: A study to assess the effectiveness of Nutrition ball to increase Haemoglobin level among adolescent girls with anaemia in selected villages at Kanyakumari district. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess and compare the pre test and post test level of hemoglobin among adolescent girls in experimental and control group. 2. To find out the effectiveness of nutrition ball in haemoglobin level among adolescent girls with anemia in experimental group. 3. To determine the association between the pre test haemoglobin level among adolescent girls with their selected demographic variables in experimental and control group. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: The research design adopted for this study was true experimental design. The sample size was 60 was drawn from simple random sampling technique. The feasibility of the study refinement of the tool was assessed through pilot study. The blood haemoglobin level among anaemic adolescent girls was assessed by using haemometer. The data collection for the main study was done from 01-04-2016 to 30-04-2016. Nutrition ball was given for experimental group. Post test was done after intervention period. The data gathered were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical method. FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: In Experimental group the mean score on level of anemia was 9.8 in pre test and 12.4 in post test. The paired ‘t’ value was 9.25* which is significant at p > 0.05. It shows that nutrition ball was effective in improving the level of haemoglobin. Hence the research hypothesis (H1) is accepted. In Control group the mean score on level of haemoglobin was 8.7 in pre test and 8.8 in post test. The paired ‘t’ value was 5.20* which is significant at p > 0.05. It shows that nutrition ball was effective in increasing the haemoglobin level. The mean score on level of haemoglobin in Experimental group was 12.4 in post test and 8.8 in Control group post test. The estimated 't’ value was 15.24*which is significant at p > 0.05. It shows that Nutrition ball was effective in increasing the haemoglobin level. there is no significant association (p < 0.05) between the anemia and demographic variables of adolescents in experimental and control group. Hence the research hypothesis H2 rejected. CONCLUSION: The study inference revealed that regular practice of nutrition ball could bring out desired increasing in the haemoglobin level among adolescent girls with anemia.
