Abstract
Anemia is a nutritional problem. Women of childbearing age can experience anemia, one of the causes is due to menstruation and also pregnancy and childbirth periods. Iron nutrition needs that cannot be met during this period will cause anemia. Coconut haustorium is an alternative to increase hemoglobin level because of its iron content.
Objective
To determine the effect of Coconut haustorium as an alternative to increase hemoglobin and ferritin levels among women of childbearing age in the Work Area of ??Bergas Community Health Center, Semarang District in 2018.
Study Methods
This study method used here was quasy experiment. The study design used was pretest and post test control group design. The samples were 30 women of childbearing age, who were assigned into 2 groups: 60 mg Fe with 800 mg coconut haustorium and 60 mg Fe groups. The analysis of this study was conducted with univariate and bivariate using t-test, and the data that were not normally distributed used Wilcoxon.
Results
After the intervention it was obtained p value = 0.002 (<0.005) which showed that there was a difference in the hemoglobin level after intervention in both groups. The mean of ferritin level in the intervention group was higher than the control group (43.07 ng/dl > 18.42 ng/dl), p value = 0.000 (<0.005) which showed that there was a difference in ferritin level ??after intervention in both groups.
Conclusion
Coconut haustorium had an effect on increasing Hb and ferritin hormone levels.
