Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia is a condition in which blood lacks adequate healthy red blood cells. Research involving anemic adolescence girls has found an increase in hemoglobin is associated with an improvement in fatigue, which in turn is associated with improvements in health related quality of life (HRQL).
To assess the effectiveness of honey dates amla mix on level of fatigue among adolescent girls with iron deficiency anaemia.
An true experimental design with pre-test and post-test was used for the study. Subjects were randomized to the control and experimental group. The intervention was administered to the experimental group. The FACIT fatigue severity scale was used to assess the fatigue level.
There was significant difference observed in the pre-test and post test level of fatigue in the experimental group. In the experimental group there was a rise in mean values for fatigue
Combining the three extract led to the enhancing level of haemoglobin which further improves the quality of life and improvement of fatigue, there by sense of satisfaction is good & hence can be routinely given to adolescent girls even in rural area.
