Abstract
A study to assess the effectiveness of drumstick leaves powder on reduction of blood glucose levels among clients with hyperglycemia in selected community at Trichy. This study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of drumstick leaves powder on reduction of blood glucose levels among clients with hyperglycemia in selected community at Trichy. The study was an evaluative approach. This study made use of Quasi experimental non equivalent pretest and post test control group design. Conceptual frame work adopted in the study was the Rosenstoch’s (1974) Becker and Maiman’s Health belief model (1975). A total of 60 samples out of which 30 samples for experimental group and 30 for control group were selected by purposive sampling technique who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Pre test was done for both experimental and control group. Blood glucose was assessed by electronic glucometer. Drumstick leaves powder was given to the experimental group twice daily for 30 consecutive days under the supervision of investigator. Post test was done for experimental and control group using the same instrument. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The independent‘t’ value of blood glucose was 3.038. Which was significant at P<0.05 levels. This showed that there is a significant reduction in the levels of blood glucose in experimental group. The study findings revealed that there was no significant association between post test levels of blood glucose scores among hyperglycemic clients with their selected demographic variables. The above study findings revealed that drumstick leaves powder was helpful in reducing the blood glucose among hyperglycemic clients.
