A Study to assess the effectiveness of Iron supplementary ball on Haemoglobin level among adolescent girls with Nutritional deficiency Anemia at selected Nursing Colleges, Thanjavur district

Abstract

A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Iron supplementary ball on haemoglobin level among adolescent girls with nutritional deficiency anemia at selected Nursing colleges, Thanjavur. An experimental research design was used for this study. Samples were selected by using simple random (lottery method) sampling technique. The investigator assessed the haemoglobin level by using Sahli’s method in both experimental and control group. Then from day 2 to day 31 Iron supplementary ball intervention was given to the experimental group sample after breakfast under the supervision of the researcher for a period of 30 days. After 30 days the investigator assessed the posttest level of haemoglobin in both groups. The mean value 10.27 with standard deviation 1.91 in experimental group was higher than the mean value 9.49 with standard deviation 1.38 in control group. The ‘t’ test calculated Value 10.933 was higher than the Table Value 2.05 (CV> TV) which is significant at 0.05 level. The statistical analysis reveals that there was a significant differences in posttest levels of haemoglobin among adolescent in experimental group in comparison with control group. So the given Iron supplementary ball was effective in proving haemoglobin level among the adolescent girls.
