Effectiveness of Poshan Modakam in Increasing HB% among Anaemic Students of Selected College of Nursing, Jagdalpur, C.G. (2016)

Background of study: - 75% Nursing Students are Anemic in Govt. College of Nursing, Jagdalpur, C.G. Anemia is route cause of poor reproductive health of women. Objectives of the study are 1. Assess the hb% among nursing students of experimental and control group before and after the intervention. 2. To assess the effectiveness of poshan modakam laddu. Methodology: Research Approach: Quantitative evaluator research approach, Research Design:-true experimental design- pretest -posttest only, Population: b.sc. Nursing students, Setting- govt. college of nursing, jagdalpur Sample: -anemic students HB% less than 11 %gm), Sampling Technique: probability purposive simple random sampling, Sample Size: 80 anemic students of G.C.O.N., Jagdalpur. Tool: in vitro bio physiological method (evaluation of HB% through the in vitro bio physiological method, Variables: dependent variables-HB% level, independent variables: - modakam laddu, (each laddu 45 gm , 1 bd, 30 days, ingrediance are-kala til, gegurry, soyabean, wheat, ground nut, flex, coconut oil, vidhari kand, and dry ginger) Data Analysis: descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated (percentage, frequency, "t" test and chi square). Result: the maximum level ranged age 20 to 22 years (46.25%), weight 46 to 50 kg (35%), dietary pattern non vegetarian (73.7%), and education b.sc. Nursing second year (32.5%) and regular menstrual cycle (77.7%). In experimental group, pre test and post test mean of hb% are 9.49 gm % and 13.58 gm%. In control group, pre test and post test mean of HB % are 10.31 and 10.02. Experimental group levels of anemia before intervention are normal 15% mild anemia 50%, moderate anemia 35% and severe anemia is 0%. After the intervention level of anemia normal is 65% mild anemia 30%, moderate anemia 5% and severe anemia is 0%. Control group level of anemia normal HB% is 15% mild anemia 50%, moderate anemia 35% and severe anemia is 0%. After one month without intervention level of anemia normal is 65% mild anemia 30%, moderate anemia 5% and severe anemia is 0%. At 0.05 level with DF (79) calculated "t" value is 19.8 and tabled value is 2.00, it is highly significant. Hence research hypothesis is accepted and null hypothesis is rejected.
