A Pre-Experimental Study To Determine The Effectiveness Of Amla On Increasing The Hemoglobin Level Among Anaemic Adolescent Girls Studying In Selected College, At Kirumambakkam, Puducherry

The main aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of amla on increasing the hemoglobin level among anaemic adolescent gilrs in selected college, at Kirumambakkam, Puducherry. The study samples were 50 anaemic adolescent girls selected from Sabari College of Nursing, Kirumambakkam by using convenient sampling technique non randomnly. The knowledge level was assessed regarding anaemia to anaemic adolescent girls. In pre-test, blood samples were taken and the adolescent girls were classified based on the hemoglobin level.100gm of amla was provided by the investigator for one month after breakfast and lunch. In post-test, blood samples were taken. Comparing the pre-test and post-test values of hemoglobin, the pre test mean value of hemoglobin is 9.97 and the post test mean value of hemoglobin is 10.71and the difference is 0.74 and the p value is < 0.001 and so it is highly significant. By providing amla the investigator proved the study is highly effective in the improvement of hemoglobin level among anaemic adolescent girls. Since the amla was effective in improving hemoglobin, it was also suggested to be continued in order to uplift the overall health of adolescent girls. Hence, it will help to reduce the incidence of anaemia and enhance the quality of life in future.
