The study sought to determine the extent to which the usage of social media in the marketing of agricultural products in South West Nigeria can enhance farmers turnover. It employed the survey research design to collect data with the help of a structured questionnaire to elicit information from respondents selected from six 6 south western states. Research data were analysed using structural equation modelling. The results showed that the use of social media WhatsApp and Facebook in marketing of agricultural products significantly enhances farmers turnover. The managerial implication is that use of Whatsapp and Facebook in the marketing of agricultural products for the enhancement of farmers’ turnover was found to have significant influence on the enhancement in farmers’ turnover from agricultural products. Policy makers in government should provide the enabling environment for the telecommunication companies to enhance their reach by installing their facilities across the length and breadth of the country so that the network coverage will be strong at all times so that the benefits of social media usage will not be constrained.

Nursing students face numerous stresses and challenges that pose threat to their well-being. They require guidance in order to attain satisfactory adjustment in all aspects of daily life in this critical stage of their development. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the guidance needs of nursing students in selected schools in Iloilo City. The sample of this descriptive, comparative study consisted of 283 randomly selected students from four nursing schools in Iloilo City. The Guidance Needs Inventory for Nursing Students (GNINS) developed by the researchers was used to gather data. Frequency, mean, standard deviation, and rank were used to describe the data. Independent Samples t-Test and ANOVA set at 0.05 alpha were employed to find out significant differences between variables. The study revealed that nursing students need guidance to a moderate extent. They need more guidance on the aspects of career and academic. Further, results indicated no significant differences in the guidance needs of nursing students when grouped according to sex, gender, year level, residence, type of school, living arrangement, employment status of parents, monthly family income, number of siblings, birth order and type of family. Guidance remains to be an integral part of nursing education. Continued provision of guidance responsive and relevant to the needs of nursing student cohort is therefore necessary.
Abstract—Sexual health (SH) and sexual behavior of young people have become a growing public concern. But few studies have been conducted to investigate the prevalence and psychosocial correlates of this phenomenon.
Purpose: To understand college students’ sexual knowledge (SK), sexual attitudes (SA), sexual desire (SD) and sexual behavior (SB).
Methods: A self-reported questionnaire survey on SK, SA, SD, and SB was conducted among 520 university students. Their demographic data, SK, SA, SD, and SB were assessed.
Results: A total of 500 students completed the questionnaire. The SKS total score had a mean of 23.05; 105 (21.0%) subjects had had premarital sex; 121 (24.2%) had a partner; 117 (23.4%) had a medical educational background. The results demonstrated an increased risk of premarital sex amongst males and subjects with the risk factors of smoking, drinking, having a partner, and having higher levels of SD and SK and more open SA.
Conclusions: This study provides support for the idea that university students lack SK (especially regarding contraception knowledge), even though the students had a medical educational background. Additionally, a considerable amount of them engaged in premarital SB. Our findings also suggest that university students need sex education, particularly in combining sexuality with their life, in relating to others maturely as a sexual individual, in employing contraception, and in preventing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Our study suggests that interventions aimed at expanding university students’ SK and other related skills are required.

Nursing students face numerous stresses and challenges that pose threat to their well-being. They require guidance in order to attain satisfactory adjustment in all aspects of daily life in this critical stage of their development. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the guidance needs of nursing students in selected schools in Iloilo City. The sample of this descriptive, comparative study consisted of 283 randomly selected students from four nursing schools in Iloilo City. The Guidance Needs Inventory for Nursing Students (GNINS) developed by the researchers was used to gather data. Frequency, mean, standard deviation, and rank were used to describe the data. Independent Samples t-Test and ANOVA set at 0.05 alpha were employed to find out significant differences between variables. The study revealed that nursing students need guidance to a moderate extent. They need more guidance on the aspects of career and academic. Further, results indicated no significant differences in the guidance needs of nursing students when grouped according to sex, gender, year level, residence, type of school, living arrangement, employment status of parents, monthly family income, number of siblings, birth order and type of family. Guidance remains to be an integral part of nursing education. Continued provision of guidance responsive and relevant to the needs of nursing student cohort is therefore necessary.
Abstract—Sexual health (SH) and sexual behavior of young people have become a growing public concern. But few studies have been conducted to investigate the prevalence and psychosocial correlates of this phenomenon.
Purpose: To understand college students’ sexual knowledge (SK), sexual attitudes (SA), sexual desire (SD) and sexual behavior (SB).
Methods: A self-reported questionnaire survey on SK, SA, SD, and SB was conducted among 520 university students. Their demographic data, SK, SA, SD, and SB were assessed.
Results: A total of 500 students completed the questionnaire. The SKS total score had a mean of 23.05; 105 (21.0%) subjects had had premarital sex; 121 (24.2%) had a partner; 117 (23.4%) had a medical educational background. The results demonstrated an increased risk of premarital sex amongst males and subjects with the risk factors of smoking, drinking, having a partner, and having higher levels of SD and SK and more open SA.
Conclusions: This study provides support for the idea that university students lack SK (especially regarding contraception knowledge), even though the students had a medical educational background. Additionally, a considerable amount of them engaged in premarital SB. Our findings also suggest that university students need sex education, particularly in combining sexuality with their life, in relating to others maturely as a sexual individual, in employing contraception, and in preventing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Our study suggests that interventions aimed at expanding university students’ SK and other related skills are required.

Health and nutritional status are two crucial and interlinked aspects of human development, which in to interact with demographic variables Malnutrition a condition that occurs due to intake of inadequate amount of nutrients leading to insufficient nourishment continues to be a problem of considerable magnitude in most of the developing countries in the world. Preschool children are one of the most nutritionally vulnerable segments of the population. Nutrition during the first 5 years has not only an impact on growth and morbidity during childhood, but also acts as a determinant of nutritional status in adolescent and adult life. Global comparative data indicate that contrary to common perception, prevalence of under nutrition is highest in South Asian children. India has the highest occurrence of childhood malnutrition in the world. Malnutrition is responsible for 55 percent of all deaths of children younger than 5 years of age globally. Malnutrition makes a child susceptible to infections and delayed recovery, thus increasing mortality and morbidity. It is therefore logical to direct attention to the quality of life of the survivors Bose and Das, 2010 .

The document describes a qualitative study that explored how a multi-pronged community-based intervention addressed adolescent anaemia in vulnerable urban Indian communities. The intervention included nutrition education for adolescents and parents, health camps for anaemia screening, and treatment and follow-up. Findings showed that the intervention led to reduced junk food consumption but reinforcement was needed to sustain changes. Parental support was important for treatment compliance but was affected by lack of awareness and gender inequities. Engaging adolescents as agents of change contributed to improved awareness, sanitation, and support within families and communities. A holistic approach is needed that addresses socioeconomic factors, gender equity, health priorities, family involvement, and adolescent empowerment to create an enabling environment for

A Study to Assess the Knowledge Regarding Iron Deficiency Anemia among Reprod...ijtsrd
Anemia is a major public health problem in reproductive age women because of their high requirement for iron during pregnancy, lactation, menstrual bleeding, and nutritional deficiency during their reproductive cycle. Even though the world health organization aims for a global reduction of anemia by 50 among women of reproductive age by 2025, with the current situation it is unlikely to achieve this goal. Considering this fact, a descriptive study was conducted to assess the knowledge regarding iron deficiency anemia among women of reproductive age and to associate the level of their knowledge with their selected demographic variables and to prepare and distribute information booklet related to iron deficiency anemia. The sample population were 100 women of reproductive age selected through a purposive sampling technique, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data was collected using knowledge rating scale and demographic profiles. The setting of the study was Nadathara panchayat, Thrissur. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed that 38 of them had inadequate knowledge whereas 62 of them had adequate knowledge regarding iron deficiency anemia. Analysis showed that there was significant association between education and level of knowledge regarding iron deficiency anemia among the subjects. This study concluded that majority were having adequate knowledge regarding iron deficiency Anemia. The study helped the women of reproductive age identify their level of knowledge regarding iron deficiency anemia its signs and symptoms, diagnostic measures, management and ways to practice healthy life style with the help of information booklet that was distributed.

Analysis of nutritional status among high school-going adolescent students in...BRNSSPublicationHubI
This study analyzed the nutritional status of 150 adolescent students aged 12-19 years attending high schools in Gadag City, Karnataka, India. The study found that private school students had a higher rate of overweight students (7.6% higher) compared to government school students, who had a higher rate of underweight students (6.4% higher). It also found that government school students had a slightly higher average weight. A major finding was that overweight students were more prevalent in private schools, which the study attributed to private school students engaging in less physical activity and consuming more junk food. In conclusion, government school students were more likely to be underweight, so their nutritional status should be specifically addressed through health education and promotion
Measuring Poverty through Child Malnutrition A Study With Special Referance T...iosrjce
This study examines child malnutrition in Arumbavur Village, Perambalur District, India. It finds that 81.74% of children in the village are malnourished based on body mass index (BMI) measurements, which is higher than the national average of 43%. Through interviews with 115 households, it identifies several socioeconomic factors contributing to malnutrition, including low family incomes below the national average, lack of sanitation facilities, and limited access to nutritious foods. While most children are breastfed, the average duration is only 6.7 months. The study concludes that despite families' efforts to provide nutrition, children in the village remain underweight and stunted due to their socioeconomic conditions.

Standardization and Formulations of Calotropis ProceraYogeshIJTSRD
Plants growing in arid regions have elicited increased attention, because the hostile environment, in which these plants survive, forces them to develop chemical protective systems through adaptation which is rarely found in vegetation of other ecosystems. Furthermore, many of the plants grow in areas, where the dependence on traditional, plant based medicines over industrially produced pharmaceuticals persists to this day. The two plants, Calotopris Procera giant milkweed, also named C. Persica and Calotropis gigantea crown ower , have been used widely in traditional medicine in North Africa, the Middle East, and South and South East Asia. This has led to extensive research on the chemical constituents of the plants. Both plants are known to be sources of cardenolides, and newer research has yielded a number of interesting cancer active constituents. In addition, extracts of both plants have remarkable nematocidal, molluscidal and insecticidal activities. In many regions, the wood of Calotropis plants has been used as a building material and as a source of fuel. In addition, certain parts of the plants have been used as feed for livestock. In other regions, Calotropis plants are seen as invasive species that threaten local plant life and that due to their toxicity also pose a threat to grazing eld animals.

Review of the Diagnosis and Treatment of ParalysisYogeshIJTSRD
Paralysis is a complete loss of motor power in any muscle group. When paralysis affects all four extremities, it is called quadriplegia when it affects only the lower extremities, paraplegia and when it affects the extremities on one side of the body, hemiplegic. For this reason, the term paralysis is generally reserved for more focal, less stereotyped weakness, for instance, affecting all the muscles innervated by a peripheral nerve. Many different anatomical lesions and etiologies can cause paralysis and determine its treatment. Bikash Debsingha | Dr. Gourav Kr.

Automatic Query Expansion Using Word Embedding Based on Fuzzy Graph Connectiv...YogeshIJTSRD
The aim of information retrieval systems is to retrieve relevant information according to the query provided. The queries are often vague and uncertain. Thus, to improve the system, we propose an Automatic Query Expansion technique, to expand the query by adding new terms to the user s initial query so as to minimize query mismatch and thereby improving retrieval performance. Most of the existing techniques for expanding queries do not take into account the degree of semantic relationship among words. In this paper, the query is expanded by exploring terms which are semantically similar to the initial query terms as well as considering the degree of relationship, that is, “fuzzy membership- between them. The terms which seemed most relevant are used in expanded query and improve the information retrieval process. The experiments conducted on the queries set show that the proposed Automatic query expansion approach gave a higher precision, recall, and F measure then non fuzzy edge weights.

A New Proposal for Smartphone Based Drowsiness Detection and Warning System f...YogeshIJTSRD
This paper proposes a Smartphone based system for the detection of drowsiness in automotive drivers. The proposed system uses three stage drowsiness detection technique. The first stage uses the percentage of eyelid closure PERCLOS which is obtained by capturing images with the front camera of the Smartphone with a modified eye state classification method. The system uses near infrared lighting for illuminating the face of the driver during night driving. The second step uses the voiced to the unvoiced ratio VUR obtained from the speech data from the microphone, in the event PERCLOS crosses the threshold. The VUR is also compared with a threshold and if it is a value greater than that of the threshold, it moves on to the next verification stage. In the final verification stage, touch response is required within the stipulated time to declare whether the driver is drowsy or not and subsequently sound an alarm. To awake the driver, a vibrating mechanism is done and also the live GPS location is also sent to an emergency contact. We have studied eight other reference papers for the literature review. The system has three advantages over existing drowsiness detection systems. First, the three stage verification process makes the system more reliable. The second advantage is its implementation on an Android smart phone, which is readily available to most drivers or cab owners as compared to other general purpose embedded platforms. The third advantage is the use of SMS service to inform the control room as well as the passenger regarding the loss of attention of the driver.

Data Security by AES Advanced Encryption StandardYogeshIJTSRD
Now a days with the rapid development of multimedia technologies, research on safety and security are becoming more important. Multimedia data are generated and transmitted through the communication channels and the wireless media. The efficiencies of encryption based on different existing algorithms are not up to the satisfactory limit. Hence researchers are trying to modify the existing algorithm or even develop new algorithms that help to increase security with a little encryption time. Here in this paper, we have furnished a new technology to modify the AES algorithm which gives more security with a little encryption time and which can be used to encrypt using 128 bit key. Theoretical analysis on the proposed algorithm with the existing reveals the novelty of our work. Here we have proposed a technique to randomize the key and hidden the key data into an encrypted digital image using the basics concept of cryptography and also using the concept of digital watermarking, the concept of key hide has also been encrypted. We have also proposed a new technique to reposition the pixels to break the correlation between them. So, the proposed scheme offers a more secure and cost effective mechanism for encryption. Next on the AES criteria list good performance. Widespread market adoption will require reasonably good performance on a variety of platforms, ranging from easy tocrack smart cards to the largest servers. Good algorithm performance includes speed for the encryption and decryption process as well as the key schedule.

Evaluation of Different Paving Mixes Using Optimum Stabilizing ContentYogeshIJTSRD
Bituminous mixes are most commonly used all over the world in flexible pavement construction. It consists of asphalt or bitumen used as a binder and mineral aggregate which are mixed together, laid down in layers and then compacted. Under normal circumstances, conventional bituminous pavements if designed and executed properly perform quite satisfactorily but the performance of bituminous mixes is very poor under various situations. Today’s asphaltic concrete pavements are expected to perform better as they are experiencing increased volume of traffic, increased loads and increased variations in daily or seasonal temperature over what has been experienced in the past. In addition, the performance of bituminous pavements is found to be very poor in moisture induced situations. Considering this a lot of work has been done on use of additives in bituminous mixtures and as well as on modification of bitumen. Research has indicated that the addition of polymers to asphalt binders helps to increase the interfacial cohesiveness of the bond between the aggregate and the binder which can enhance many properties of the asphalt pavements to help meet these increased demands. However, the additive that is to be used for modification of mix or binder should satisfy both the strength requirements as well as economical aspects.

Green Accounting and Firm Performance in NigeriaYogeshIJTSRD
This study examines the impact of green accounting on firm performance in Nigeria. TobinQ was use to measure the firm value. The study selected 72 manufacturing firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange that disclosed green accounting information in line with GRI 4. Ex post facto research design was used and secondary data were collected from annual report of sampled firms from 2012 2019. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and correlation analysis while pooled ordinary least squared regression was employed to test formulated hypotheses. From the analysis it was discovered that material and energy disclosure have positive and significant effect on firm performance. Based on these findings, the study recommends that company’s should develop policy concerning materials used to produce and package company’s primary product and services during the reporting period and firms should also make their operation more sustainable by reporting on their energy consumption and energy efficiency policy being aware of it’s in becoming accountable and responsible.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

cent of adolescent girls are anemic. Percentage
prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls in the
age group 15–19 years and in the older age group 20–
29 years remains almost stagnant at 55.8 per cent and
56.1 per cent respectively.
Global anemia prevalence in 2010 was 32.9%;
causing 68.36 million years lived with disability
(Kassebaum et al, 2010). A higher proportion of
women in 15-59 years age group were anemic than
men (WHO, 2001). The United Nations Children's
Fund (UNICEF) reported that 56% of adolescent girls
(AGs) in India were anemic. Adolescence is the
transition of a child to become an adult, during which
there are increased physiological needs of iron due to
the growth spurt, expansion of the lean body mass,
total blood volume and the onset of menstruation
(Delisle H.,2005).
Iron requirements are increased during adolescence
reaching a maximum at peak growth and remaining
almost as high in girls after menarche to replace
menstrual losses. Infectious diseases and parasitic
infections enhance the demand for increased iron
need due to mal-absorption in developing countries.
The occurrence of anemia is high not only among
undernourished persons but also in normal and over-
nourished individuals. Incidence of anemia among
adolescent girls is high due to demand for iron
requirement. The demand may be due to menstrual
loss, poor food choice, exclusion of green leafy
vegetables and iron rich foods, mal-absorption due to
inhibitors such as phytate and tannins, iron
bioavailability, chronic blood loss due to infection
such as malaria and hookworm infestations (Kishore,
2006).
The school based nutrition awareness strategy would
have greater impact at rural areas. The school health
nutrition program is one approach to community
health education that is effective in change of
knowledge, attitude and practices to prevent
nutritional diseases and favour healthy lifestyle
(Sujatha k., 2016). There was a significant
improvement in the nutritional knowledge of the
subjects after nutrition education. Schools can be an
effective and efficient medium to influence the health
of school children. Similar reports were also given by
Sajjan, (2008). The intervention measures are more
effective when they are integrated with other
approaches such as improvement of nutritional
practices, fortification, dietary modification, infection
control, public health measures and income
generation programmes. Obstacles related to the
building of iron stores during pregnancy provide a
strong logic for nutrition education concerning the
iron status of women before pregnancy and
adolescents are the future mothers and their health
may affect the upcoming generation. Yet, adolescents
remain a largely untouched and hard –to reach
population, in which the needs of adolescent girls in
particular, are often neglected in our society. There is
lack of appropriate knowledge and attitude regarding
conscious healthy eating among adolescents and
consequent unhealthy eating behavior. The majority
of adolescents can be reached effectively through
educational institutes, which is an appropriate place
for nutrition education. Therefore the present study
focuses “A study on Knowledge, attitude and practice
(KAP) on Anemia and Socio Economic
Characteristics of Adolescent Girls’ in Rural Odisha.”
The objective of the study was to determine the to
determine the association between the selected
demographic variables such as the age of the student,
age of menarche, family income, type of family,
mother’s educational status, consumption of green
leafy vegetables, personal hygiene and sanitation
facilities and the level of KAP among the adolescent
girls. It was hypothesized that there is no significant
association between the selected demographic
variables and the level of knowledge, attitude and
practice before and after planned nutrition education
program on anemia.
Materials and Methods
An exploratory approach seems to be suitable as the
present investigation aims to assess the effectiveness
of the planned nutrition education program on anemia
among the rural adolescent girls of Odisha.
A one group pretest and post test design is adopted
for conducting the study. In this study, the researcher
had done the pre test for the selected adolescent girls
and had controlled the independent variable i.e.
planned nutrition education programme on anemia
which was administered to the same group of
adolescent girls. Then the post survey was conducted
after 6 months. Finally the association of the planned
nutrition education programme on anemia on
dependent variable i.e. the knowledge, practice,
attitude and belief was computed by the post test.
The research design is represented as follows:
01 x 02
01 - Pre - survey for the assessment of level of
knowledge, practice and attitude towards anemia.
x - Planned nutrition education programme on
anemia.
02 - Post survey for the assessment of level of
knowledge, practice, and attitude towards anemia.
The study was conducted in Govt. Girls High School,
+2 College of (Rani Suka Dei) and Banki College of
Banki Subdivision of Cuttack District. The reason for
selecting these school and colleges is the availability

of the samples, easy access and feasibility, to educate
the girls about the reproductive health.
The researcher has undertaken a pre- survey to
understand the existing condition of anemia and its
practices. Then, a planned teaching programme
(video programme) on anemia was conducted and
after a gap of 6 months, re-survey was undertaken to
know the association of the planned nutrition
education programme on anemia.
The total population of all adolescent girls in the age
group of 12 years to 17 years was 1694. Out of 1694,
508 (30 percent) adolescent girls who fulfilled the
inclusion criteria were spotted and they purposively
selected as sample cases for the present study.
Structured questionnaire was developed after an
extensive review of literature and discussion with
experts in order to select the most suitable and
appropriate assessment tool for the data collection.
Section A of the Questionnaire deals with
demographic profile, anthropometric data, clinical
and biochemical assessment, dietary information,
menstrual history and history of past illness and diet
history and 2nd
part of the questionnaire was the
nutrition education intervention to assess knowledge,
attitude and practice of adolescent girls about
nutrition related to anemia was used for collection.
Scoring Keys
Section A: The Demographic profile, anthropometric
data, clinical and biochemical assessment, dietary
information, menstrual history and history of past
illness of the adolescent girl was coded and there by
subjected for statistical analysis.
Section B: Questionnaire was used to assess the
Knowledge and attitude of the adolescent girls on
anemia. It has 10 questions from each aspect and for
every correct answer 1 mark was awarded and for
every incorrect answer ‘0’ mark was awarded.
Therefore the maximum mark awarded for the
questions was 10 marks.
Following decisions were made about the end of
knowledge and attitude based on the total number of
marks scored by the each sample cases.
0-50 percent - Inadequate knowledge, 51-75 percent -
Moderately adequate knowledge, and 76-100 percent
- Adequate knowledge
Attitude:
0-50 percent - Unfavorable attitude, 51 percent -75
percent - Moderately favorable attitudes and 76
percent -100 percent - Favorable attitudes
Practice
5 point rating scale was used to assess the practice of
anemia among the adolescent girls. Each item was
awarded maximum of 5 marks and minimum of 1
mark. The scoring of each item was made as follows:-
Never- 1, rarely -2, Sometimes- 3, Often -4, Very
often- 5
Data collection was carried out at the school and
college premises during working days of the school
with due permission from respective school and
college Heads. Finally all eligible students in the class
were voluntarily recruited for the study with
continuous interaction and motivation through
discussion. Intervention was divided into four
sessions containing, lectures by nutrition experts on
“simple definition of anemia, causes, risk of anemia,
consequences dietary habits, sources of iron rich
foods. Vitamin C rich food for iron absorption etc, e-
learning module videos on Anemia Developed by
ICMR- NIN under “Poshan Abhiiyaan”, Government
of India. Each session lasted for approximately 45
minutes. Power point presentations and videos were
used to present the educational material, and
brochures were distributed at the end of the session.
The adolescent girls were instructed to practice the
knowledge as shown in the nutrition education
programme. Then, survey was conducted after a gap
of 6 months with the same sample cases.
Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation)
was used to represent the basic distribution of various
parameters. Paired t test was used to know the
difference between pretest and post test. ANOVA
(Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT), Correlation
Coefficient between KAP, regression analysis is used
to know the association between multiple variables of
the study.

Results
Prevalence of Anemia among the Adolescent Girls
Fig:-1 shows grades of anemia among the respondents. The grades of anemia were categorized according to
WHO (2011) as severe, moderate and mild anemia. The mean hemoglobin levels of the subjects were found to
be 9.65 g /dl. Majority of women (55%) had mild anemia and only 1 percent of the respondents had severe
anemia.
Level of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of the Respondents
Fig-2, Fig-3 and Fig-4 indicates the knowledge, attitude and practice scores of anemia among the respondents in
the pretest and post test of nutrition education intervention. The mean score on knowledge on anemia of the
respondents is 5.27 with standard deviation of 1.87 before the planned nutrition education programme. After the
planned teaching programme the mean score is 8.22 with standard deviation of 1.18.
The above analysis underlines the fact that the planned nutrition education programme on anemia was very
effective in increasing the knowledge of the girls about anemia practices and menstrual hygiene.
Based on this finding, we can assume that adolescent girls have learnt good hygienic practices and developed a
good confidence in managing the event of anemia.
The mean score of attitude towards anemia of the respondents is 14.11 with standard deviation of 3.67 before the
planned nutrition education programme and after the planned nutrition education programme the mean score is
30.33 with standard deviation of 3.65. The above analysis indicates that there was a positive change in the
attitudes of the girls towards the anemia after the introduction of planned nutrition education programme on
practices regarding anemia. Girls were consciously choosing their food and make correction in their dietary
habits.
Further that the mean score of practice on anemia of the respondents is 6.99 with SD of 1.71 before the planned
nutrition education programme and after the planned nutrition education programme the mean score is 9.18 with
SD of 0.86. This analysis shows that proper anemia practices among adolescent girls have increased after the
introduction of planned nutrition education programme on anemia-such as , its causes, risk, consequences, dos
and don’ts, iron rich food sources, role of vitamin C, blood forming nutrients etc. Based on this finding, it is
concluded that the planned nutrition education programme on anemia was very effective and hence, it is
suggested that similar type of planned educational programme on nutrition should be introduced in educational
institutes where poor students are studying.

The table- 1 shows that P value is less than the table value; the null hypothesis is rejected at the 0.05 level of
significance. Hence it is concluded that there is a significant difference between the pretest and post test and
KAP gained on anemia.
It is also seen that the mean scores of the Knowledge, attitude and practice are higher after the post test than the
pre test scores. Hence, it is interpreted that the planned nutrition education programme on anemia was very
effective in changing the knowledge, attitude and practice of anemia among school girls in a desired direction.

Since P value is less than table value, null hypothesis is rejected at the 0.05 level of significance therefore we
can assume that there is a significant difference between the age and the gain score of attitude, practice and
overall gain score of anemia.
Based on this data it is found that girls, when they grow older they gain more knowledge on anemia and
maintains proper hygienic, dietary practices as their level of understanding becomes more rapid as they progress
in age.

This table-2 shows that P value is greater than table value; null hypothesis is accepted at 0.05 level of
significance with respect to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice on anemia. Hence there is no statistically
significant difference between mother educational status and gain score of knowledge, attitude, and practice
anemia. According to DMRT score, there is statistically a significant difference in attitude of mothers who were
illiterate than the literate mothers who have studied up to higher secondary, high school, middle school and

The above table-3 reveals that the P value is greater than calculated value and null hypothesis is accepted at the
0.05 level of significance with respect to knowledge, attitude and practice on anemia. Hence there is no
significant difference between family income and gain score of knowledge, attitude, and practice of menstrual
hygiene.
Based on the above findings it is assumed that most family expends only to a minimal amount towards nutrient
rich foods practices. Generally they consume the food according to their taste, liking and availability. Since it is
a very confidential concern and not much discussed with other family members, girls would hesitate to meet the
demands of nutrition practices.

Since P value is greater than the table value, null hypothesis is accepted at the 0.05 level of significance. Hence
we can assume that there is no significant difference between nuclear type of family and joint type of family and
gain score of KAP.
From the above t test, it is found that neither the joint family nor the nuclear family has changed the gain score
on Knowledge, attitude and Practice.

The table-5 shows the relationship between the planned teaching programme on menstrual hygiene (X) and KAP
(knowledge, attitude and practice) gained on anemia practices (Y). To establish the relationship between these
two, correlation coefficient is used. According to the statistical calculation of correlation co- efficient of X on Y
is 0.095 which means a strong positive association between X and Y. That is, the planned teaching programme
on anemia practices influenced the KAP gain score on anemia.
In the present study the statistical analysis of relationship among these variables multiple correlations and the
equation describing such relationship known as the multiple regression equation was used. The dependent
variable is KAP Gain score and designated with Y and independent variables are Age group, Age of Menarche,

The multiple Correlation coefficients 0.338 measure the degree of relationship between the actual values and the
predicted values of KAP gain score. Because the predicted values are obtained as a linear combination of Age
group (in years) (X1), Age of Menarche (X2), Occupation (X3), Type of Family(X4), Mother Educational status
(X5), Family Income (X6), Source of knowledge (X7), consumption of green leafy vegetables (X8), the
coefficient value of 0.338 indicates that the relationship between KAP gain score and the Independent variables
is quite strong and positive.
The coefficient of determination r- Square measures the goodness-of-fit of the estimated sample regression plane
(SRP) in terms of the proportion of the variation in the dependent variables explained by the fitted sample
regression equation. Thus, the value of r square is 0.115 simply means that 11.50 percent of the variations in
KAP gain score is explained by the estimated SRP that uses independent variables and r square value is
significant at the 0.05 level of significance.

The above table reveals that there was a significant relationship with age group in years, Age of Menarche,
family income, Mothers Educational Status at the level of p<0.05 with a ‘r’ value of 0.02,0.049,0.019, 0.016
respectively.
Based on the findings we can conclude that there is a correlation between the age group and level of knowledge,
attitude and practice. Age is an important factor to attain knowledge. When age inter-relates with their
experience on anemia, there is a positive effect on gaining knowledge, attitude and practice on personal hygiene.
The next variable which had a positive correlation was the age of menarche. As the age of menarche of the
adolescent girls increased there was a noticeable change ahead in knowledge, attitude and practice on personal
hygiene.
Family income also has a positive correlation of KAP on anemia. Family income adds on to the other financial
factors to maintain hygienic, nutrition practice. Income of family practices in regard to health is a promoting
factor to maintain health on the level of knowledge, attitude and practice.
Mothers’ educational status found to be positively correlated with the level of knowledge, attitude and practice.
Since mothers’ are the key person to impart information regarding the issues of a girl. Henceforth if a mother is
educated she could promote most healthy practices to her daughter as compared with the mothers who have not
educated.

that there is significant association between the age and the level of KAP gain score on anemia after the post –
test. We can also state that the planned nutrition education programme on anemia was very effective in changing
the KAP on anemia in a positive way.

Since the calculated χ2 value is lesser than the table χ2 value, the null hypothesis is accepted. Based on the χ2
test it is concluded that there is no association between the type of family and the level of gain score of KAP on
anemia. Hence, it is interpreted that the planned nutrition education programme on anemia has not influenced the
gain score of KAP on anemia among adolescent girls.

Since the table χ2 value is lesser than the calculated χ2 value. It can be assumed that there is a significant
association between the family income and the level of gain in KAP. Hence the null hypothesis is rejected.
Hence, it can be inferred that the family income influence the level of gain in Knowledge, attitude and Practice
among adolescent girls.
Discussion
Health and nutritional conditions are mainlythe result
of socio economic characteristic of the population
itself. In the present study, there is a significant
difference between the age group and the gain score
of knowledge, attitude and practice and hence, there
is no significant difference between Age of menarche,
type family, mother’s educational status, personal
hygiene and sanitation facilities and the gain score of
knowledge, attitude and practice. There is a
significant difference between the family income and
the gain score of the knowledge, attitude and practice
of anemia at the 0.05 level of significance. Thus, it is
concluded that the demographic variables would have
influence over the Knowledge, attitude, Practice on
anemia.
As Knowledge is the base for the practice, the
investigator assessed the level of knowledge on
anemia among the adolescent girls. It is also
considered as one of the background variable,
because it influences the outcome. If the adolescent
girls have inadequate knowledge on anemia, they
would be at the risk of getting the several other
etiological and predisposing factors like chronic
intestinal worm infestation and mal-absorption.
Knowledge will help to develop the conscious dietary
habits to keep themselves healthy. The findings of the
present research reveal a significant difference
between the Age and the gain score level of
Knowledge, Attitude and Practice and the f values
were calculated as 0.673, 15.358 and 4.850. Since P
value is less than 0.01, null hypothesis is rejected at
the 0.05 level of significance with respect to attitude
and practice. Hence, there is a significant difference
between the age group and the gain score of attitude,
practice.

@ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD45033 | Volume – 5 | Issue – 5 | Jul-Aug 2021 Page 1211
The type of family and the gain score level of
knowledge, attitude and practice was assessed and the
t values were calculated as 1.495, 0.968 and 1.446.
Since P value is greater than 0.05, null hypothesis is
accepted at 0.05 percent level of significance. Hence,
there is no significant difference between the nuclear
family and Joint family with respect to gain score of
KAP on anemia.
The findings of the present study reveal that there was
no significant difference at mothers’ educational
status and the gain score level of knowledge, attitude
and practice and the f values were calculated as
0.061, 1.066 and 0.241. Since, the calculated value is
less than the p value; null hypothesis is rejected at the
0.05 level of significance with respect to attitude,
practice and overall Score on KAP. Hence there is no
significant difference between the mothers’
educational status and gain score of attitude, practice
and overall score.
Before the planned nutrition education programme
nutrition education programme, the mean score of
knowledge was 5.27 and the Standard deviation was
1.87, attitude mean score was 14.11 and the standard
deviation was 3.67 and the mean score of practice
was 6.99 and standard deviation was 1.71. After the
planned Nutrition education programme, the mean
score of knowledge was 8.22 and standard deviation
was 1.18; attitude mean score was 30.33 and standard
deviation was 3.65 and the practice mean score was
9.18 and standard deviation was 0.86.the above
results shows that after the planned Nutrition
education programme there was an increase in
knowledge, attitude and practice of the menstrual
hygiene among the adolescents girls.
There was a significant difference between the pre
test and post test and the t values were calculated as
53.05, 89.59 and 37.26 and P value is less than 0.01.
There is a significance difference in pre test and post
test with respect to KAP on anemia. Based on the test,
the mean scores of the post test are higher than the
pre test scores because of the effectiveness of planned
nutrition education programme.
Thus, the present study was undertaken to identifythe
learning needs of the adolescent girls with a view to
develop and evaluate a planned nutrition education
programme on anemia. It will help them to improve
their self care ability and follow healthy and
nutritious dietary practice. These variations can be
attributed to various factors such as difference in
socio - economic status and literacy status of the girls.
It reveals the mean score of attitude on anemia of
adolescent girls is 14.11 with SD of 3.67. The
strategies for creating awareness through the planned
nutrition education programme would minimize the
complication and unwanted outcome.
Knowledge by itself does not guarantee the adoption
of healthy dietary behavior. A change in belief and
attitude will also lead to healthy life style.
The Multiple Correlation co-efficient 0.338 measures
the degree of relationship between the actual values
and the predicted values of KAP gain score.
The results reveals regression analysis of knowledge,
attitude and practice with related background
variables among adolescent girls and it was found that
there was a significant relationship with mothers
educational status, age of menarche, age group (in
years) and consumption of green leafy vegetables,
personal hygiene at the level of p<0.05 with a ‘r’
value of 0.016, 0.019, 0.02 and 0.49 respectively.
The planned nutrition education programme was
found to be effective teaching strategy. This was
evident through the findings of the post test mean
knowledge score of group which is significantly
higher than that of the pre-test score.
In the above context, it is stated that girl students
spend most of their time at school and colleges
therefore, teachers should receive specific skills
during the ongoing teaching to spread the information
on eat right to stay healthy to their young students.
Education is the single most effective method that
will decrease the rate of absence from school and
prevent reproductive health diseases.
Conclusion
Present study revealed adolescents girls are prone to
anemia due to lack of proper information regarding
dietary habits. Socio economic strata like age, family
income, mother’s educational status, types of family,
age at menarche, consumption of green leafy
vegetables personal hygiene are also influence the
anemic status of adolescent girls. So, Studies on
creating awareness on consequences of anemia in all
strata of the society, awareness programmes for
enhancing female literacy should be taken up by the
researcher. Periodic surveys should be done in
schools on anemia for updating prevalence and
promoting awareness among adolescent girls on
nutritional principles on health. Health programs for
students on utilization of easily available and
affordable iron rich diet and forming kitchen garden
etc. Educating parents and children about the
importance of de-worming and emphasize them to
have de wormed once in six months. Parents as well
as teachers should be sensitized on micronutrient
malnutrition, role of healthy diet and consequences of
anemia. In-depth studies can be done on evaluation of
iron indicators like serum ferritin, serum transferrin

etc. along with stool examination in larger sample
size. Popularization of iron rich recipes among the
masses through mass media and other modes of
nutrition education should be done. Steps towards
effective nutrition education programmes through
government of India schemes to the population at
large will be fruitful in reducing anemia in the
society.
