Abstract
Anemia is a clinical condition that results from an insufficient supply of healthy Red Blood Cells to oxygenate the body’s tissue adequately; hypoxia results. Iron deficiency anemia is a chronic hypo chromic, microcytic anemia resulting from an insufficient supply of iron in the body, without iron. It is necessary to improve the hemoglobin level for preventing anemia. This study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of nutritional intervention on anemia among adolescent girls with Iron Deficiency Anemia in Nanchiyampalayam at Dharapuram. The conceptual framework of the study was based on the modified revised Pender’s Health Promotion Model(2002). The design used for the study was one group pretest posttest pre experimental design. Non- Probability Purposive sampling technique was used to select 50 samples for the study. The tool used for the study was observational checklist and Sahli’s Hemometer. Samples were visited every day in their homes and made to consume nutritional balls and one guava. The intervention was done continuously for 30 days. After 30days hemoglobin level was checked and the anemia signs and symptoms were assessed by using observational checklist to find out the level of iron deficiency anemia. The data gathered was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. There is significant difference between pretest and post test score (‘t’ value = 8.94). Statistical analysis showed that the nutritional intervention in posttest was highly significant at P<0.05 level. The study findings revealed that there was a significant improvement in hemoglobin level followed by nutritional intervention among adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia.
