Abstract


Objectives: To assess the level of iron deficiency anemia among adolescent girls; to evaluate the effectiveness of amla juice with elemental iron among adolescent girls on iron deficiency anemia; and to find out the association between the level of iron deficiency anemia among adolescent girls with their selected socio-demographic variables. Hypotheses: There is a significant difference between pre- and post-test levels of iron deficiency anemia among adolescent girls; there is a significant association between the levels of iron deficiency anemia among adolescent girls with their selected socio-demographic variables. Methodology: The conceptual framework was based on Wiedenbach’s Helping Art in Clinical Theory. Pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design was used, and 40 subjects were selected by purposive sampling. The study was conducted at Government School, Puthur, Sellur, Madurai. After obtaining an informed consent from their parents, pre-test was done by using self-administered questionnaire, and anemia symptoms were assessed with observation check list and estimation of hemoglobin by cell count method in the clinical laboratory before and after intervention. Results: The mean pre-test score was increased from 9.35 to10.11, the t-value 6.05 was much higher than the table value at 0.001 (pre-set level of significance was 0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that amla juice with elemental iron was effective on increasing the hemoglobin level among adolescents girls.
