Abstract

BACKGROUND: Adolescence is a distinct age group (10-19yrs) with complex need because of physical and psychological development during puberty. Iron deficiency is the most nutritional disorders in world, nearly 4.5 billion people of the world population are iron deficit. Anemia continues to be a major public health problem among children in many regions of the world. Hemonutri ball helps to increase the Haemoglobin level among the adolescent girls. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of Hemonutri ball on Haemoglobin level among adolescent girls in Experimental group and Control group. DESIGN: True experimental pre-test and post-test control group design. SETTING: Government Higher Secondary School at Thaiyur and Chenji in Villupuram District. PARTICIPANTS: 60 children fulfilling the inclusion criteria. SELECTION CRITERIA: Adolescent girls with experimental group 30, control group 30, age group of 13-17 yrs. were included. METHODS: 30 adolescent girls in experimental group, 30 adolescent girls in Control group selected by Probability Simple Random Sampling technique. Level of anemia was measured by Sahli’s hemoglobinometer. RESULTS: The result has shown that out of 60 samples, the level of Haemoglobin in pre-test among adolescent girls in Experimental group majority of the adolescent girls had 0 (0%) level of anemia in, normal level, mild level and severe level. and 100% of them had Moderate level of anemia. Whereas in control group, majority of the adolescent girls had 0 (0%) level of anemia in, normal level, mild level and severe level. and 100% of them had Moderate level of anemia. In Post-test level of Haemoglobin of adolescent girls in Experimental group 18 (60%) of them are in normal, 12 (40%) of them are in mild anemia, 0 (0%) of them are not in moderate anemia, 0 (0%) of them are not in severe anemia. In control group 0 (0%) of them are not in normal, 10 (33%) of them are in mild anemia, 20 (66.66%) of them are in moderate anemia, 0 (0%) of them are not in severe anemia. The paired ‘t’ test value of level of Haemoglobin was 59.08% (P < 0.05) in experimental group and 8.8106 wherein control group. The unpaired ‘test’ value 9.45, table value 2.00 at (P < 0.05) level of significance showed the significant effectiveness on Hemonutri ball on Haemoglobin level. It seems that Hemonutri ball improves the Haemoglobin level in experimental group. CONCLUSION: Hemonutri ball administration is effective to improve the Haemoglobin level among the adolescent girls. CLINICAL APPLICATIONS: Hemonutri ball can be given to the adolescent girls those who are having low Haemoglobin level to prevent anemia. Hemonutri ball are considered as the most essential home remedy for anemia, because of its high iron content and Vit-C that regenerates and reactive the red blood cells, supplying fresh oxygen to the body and increasing the blood count regularly.
