Deficiency Anaemia

Background: Nowadays young adolescents face many problems because of their lifestyle modifications such as eating junk foods, fast foods, snacking, and skipping meals. Some adolescents are undernourished due to a lack of awareness regarding dietary iron and poor socioeconomic status. These are quite common among urban adolescent girls. Iron deficiency anaemia is the most prevalent nutritional disorder in the world today. Iron is a necessary mineral for body function and good health. A lack of iron in the blood can lead to iron deficiency anaemia, which is a very common nutritional deficiency among children and adolescents. Objective: This study is aimed to analyse the effectiveness of a planned teaching programme to educate adolescent girls in the prevention and management of iron deficiency anaemia in a selected school of Bilaspur district. Method: Convenient sampling technique and structured questionnaire were used in the study. Result and Conclusion: The findings revealed that about 38% of the adolescent girls belonged to the age group of 14.1-15 years, 85% belonged to the Hindu religion, 48% had family income > 30,000 INR, 63% belonged to nuclear families, fathers of 60% of the adolescent girls were government employees, mothers of 48% of the adolescent girls were housewives, 78% of the adolescent girls belonged to urban areas, and 48% of the adolescent girls had got the information through mass media. The distribution of the adolescent girls among the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th standards was found to be equal (25% each). The assessment of the overall pre-test knowledge level of adolescent girls shows that 3% had good knowledge, 86% had average knowledge, and 11% had below-average knowledge.

WHO Global Database on Anaemia for 1993-2005, covering almost half of the world’s population, estimated the prevalence of anaemia worldwide at 25 per cent.The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of honey dates amla mix on biochemical markers among adolescent girls with Iron deficiency anaemia. Quantitative experimental and control group pre and post-test design was used in this study. The study was conducted among adolescent girls in two different residential homes. Total study population is 170 adolescent girls were selected by simple random sampling technique. 85 adolescents girls were assigned to the experimental group and 85 participants in control group. For experimental group honey dates amla mix was given for 3 months whereas in  the control group iron and folic acid supplementation were provided. The study results shows that pre and post-test intervention scores of control and experimental group were compared by Wilcoxon scores rank test. Comparison of pre-test and post-test scores of severity of anemia, clinical variables, and level of fatigue and level of satisfaction, bio chemical parameters (reticulocytes, MCV, haematocrite, serum iron, serum ferritin, TIBC) were assessed in both experimental and control group. Between the experimental and control group (unpaired‘t’ test) reticulocytes, mcv, heamatocrite, serum iron serum ferritin showed significant changes in the pre test and post-test but there is no changes in TIBC. The study concluded that alternative nutritional therapy was effective for enhancing the blood heamoglobin & biochemical paramteres level, decreased the clinical variables and fatigue level among the adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia.

Adolescent period is a critical link between childhood and adulthood. Objectives of this study were to assess the effectiveness of adolescent health programme on knowledge regarding Iron deficiency Anaemia among adolescent girls and to associate the knowledge score with their selected demographic variables. An evaluative approach was used in the study, non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to select 120 adolescent girls from 60 adolescent girls from govt. higher secondary school and 60 from private higher secondary school and data was gathered using the structured knowledge questionnaire on iron deficiency anaemia. Data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics .in selected school. The study result showed that majority (76%) of study sample had poor knowledge, 2% had good knowledge and 22% had average knowledge on prevention of iron deficiency anaemia.

A perusal of the literature on anaemia prevalence in Nepal from 1975 onwards highlightedtwo points: anaemia prevalence is high particularly among women and childrenand that adolescent girls as a group have not been studied much, in fact, theadolescent period is one of the critical periods for anaemia. The present studyassessed prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia and morbidity problems of adolescentgirl. The results highlighted anaemia as a public health problem in girls and its prevalencewas found to be higher in Brahmins girls as compared to Newars and Chhetries.Eighty-two percent of the girls reported health problems such as aches and pains inthe body, infectious morbidities, and weakness and breathlessness. Thus, this femalepopulation groups needs to be paid special attention for health promoting interventionprogram.Key words: Anaemia, morbidity, adolescent girls.

High prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia among adolescent girls is a matter of great concern because of double demand of growth and activity. Therefore, the present study was conducted among 200 unmarried adolescent girls(10-18 yrs) with an objective to assess the prevalence of anemia and to improve the dietary behavior and reduce iron deficiency anaemia through nutrition intervention. The effectiveness of nutrition intervention was evaluated through various parameters viz. Body Mass Index (BMI), haemoglobin (Hb) level, food frequency and knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) scores. Nutrition intervention was imparted to the subjects for a period of one year. Consequently, the average Hb level of the subjects increased significantly (p£0.01) from 8.55 to 10.66 g/dl. A significant (p£0.01) increase in BMI i.e. 17.7 to18.8 Kg/m2 was also found in the selected subjects. Further, Nutrition education also showed a significant improvement (p £0.01) in the food frequency of the entire Hb forming food items as well as KAP scores among adolescent girls.
