75% Nursing Students are Anemic in Govt. College of Nursing, Jagdalpur, C.G. Anemia is route cause of poor reproductive health of women.

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.

Quantitative evaluator research approach,

True experimental design-pretest-posttest only,

B.sc. Nursing students,

Govt. college of nursing, jagdalpur

Anemic students HB% less than 11%gm),

Probability purposive simple random sampling,

80 anemic students of G.C.O.N., Jagdalpur.

In vitro bio physiological method (evaluation of HB% through the in vitro bio physiological method,

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)

Descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated (percentage, frequency, “t” test and chi square).

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 9.49gm % and 13.58gm%. In control group, pre test and post test mean of HB % are 10.31 and10.02. 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. Conclusion: -administration of modokam laddu is highly effective to increase HB % and management of anemia.
