Effectiveness of structured teaching programme on iron deficiency anemia among mothers of pre school children

Iron deficiency anemia is considered to be the world's most common single nutrient disorder. Infants in the 6 to 24 months of age range are particularly at high risk, but the entire pre-school age period may be vulnerable, especially in developing countries. Mothers of these children are anxious because of their child's illness and don't know how to take care of them. In this study planned teaching programme was found to be effective on the knowledge of mother's regarding prevention of iron deficiency anemia among their children.
