Abstract

A Quasi-experimental study where before-and- after with control group design was conducted to evaluate the Impact of iron supplementation on anxiety among reproductive age women with iron deficiency anaemia, Tamil Nadu, using Quantitative Evaluative approach. The setting of the study was selected by adopting four stage random sampling technique with lottery method. Two rural panchayat, Sengamviduthy panchayat and Kulathur Panchayat, from Gandharvakottai taluk,Pudhukottai districts was selected as control and experiment group. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to select the samples in both the groups. Hundred women aged 18-49 years, with iron deficiency anemia were selected for each group. Reliability was established and Pilot study was conducted to find the feasibility in urban areas, other than the main study areas. In pre-test both groups baseline data was collected by Structured Interview Schedule followed by Assessment of haemoglobin by using true hub haemoglobin meter, anxiety by self-rating anxiety scale(modified). Post-test was done for both the groups with same tool and the collected data was analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. The study findings revealed that the highest percentages of women with iron deficiency anemia in control and experiment group were in the age group of 18-25 years, educated from higher secondary school and daily wagers. Most of them were Hindus, belonged to nuclear family with a monthly income of Rs.5001-10000. Also, most of them not had any bad habits, and not at all taken deworming drugs. Percentage wise distribution of haemoglobin level among reproductive age women with iron deficiency anaemia shows that highest 76% of them had moderate anaemia in control group whereas it was 72% in experimental and more or less similar percentage (11% and 12%) of them had mild and severe anaemia in control group whereas it was (15% and 15%) in experimental group in pre-test. In post-test highest 76% of them had moderate anaemia in control group whereas it was 14 % in experimental and more or less similar percentage (11% and 12%) of them had mild and severe anaemia in control group whereas it was (32% and 14%) in experimental group. Paired 't' test was calculated to analyse the haemoglobin level among reproductive age women with iron deficiency anaemia before and after administration iron supplementation between control group was 8.95 +/- 1.12 and 8.96 +/- 1.11 with mean difference 0.01, whereas the calculated t value was found to be 1.084 at p>0.05 level and experimental group was 8.91 +/- 1.08 and 11.86 +/- 1.023 with mean difference 2.95, whereas the calculated t value was found to be 111.442 at p<0.05 level.The sexual dysfunction among reproductive age women with iron deficiency anaemia before and after administration iron supplementation between the experimental groups was 27.474 +/- 0.71 and 27.95 +/- 0.729 with mean difference 0.476, whereas the calculated 't' value was found to be 10.485 at p<0.05 level. Correlation between Haemoglobin level and sexual dysfunction shows that post-test mean hemoglobin score in experimental group was 11.86 +/- 1.02 and mean sexual dysfunction score was 27.95 +/- 0.729. The 'r' value was 0.024. Hence the investigator concludes that the implementation of Interventions to increase haemoglobin, sexual function was found to be effective among reproductive age women with iron deficiency anaemia
