EFEKTIFITAS TABURIA TERHADAP KADAR HEMOGLOBIN DAN FERRITIN PADA BALITA DI KABUPATEN JENEPONTO PROVINSI SULAWESI SELATAN
Abstract: Food consumption
pattern is known
as a determinant
factor for nutritional
problem among children.
The aim of the
research was to
asses the influence
of Taburia on
the increase of
hemoglobin (Hb) and
serum ferritin levels for
6-24-month old children
in Jeneponto Regency.
This research was
a quasi experimental study through
pre-test and post-test
design. The samples
were 6-24-month-old children
consists of 92 children selected by systematic random
sampling method. The dose
of Taburia is one sachet in every two days for 120 days. The research
variables were Hb level, Hb status, ferritin level, ferritin status, macro and micro nutrien
intake, and obedience
level. Hb and
ferritin levels were
measured by Elisa
method. The difference of Hb level pre and post
was analyzed by paired t test,
the proportion of anemia status pre and post by
McNemar test, and
the obedience level
was measured by
independent T-test. The
results of the research showed the mean initial Hb level
was 10.88 ± 1.17mg/dl became 11:24 ±1:07
mg/dl. The results of paired t test indicated there was a significant
difference of initial Hb level compared to the end Hb level (p = 0.000).
There was no significant difference
of mean initial
ferritin level which is
27.60±26.04 mg/dl become
30.43±23.10 mg/dl (p=0.331).
We conclude that
anemia prevalence of
6-24-month old children decreased after intervention of
Taburia, thatthe obediency of child who get anemia in consumpting Taburia was
in cutting of point 60%. It is suggested in order to Taburia can be one of
program to prevent anemia on children.
