EFFECTIVENESS OF GIVING MUNG BEAN JUICE ON HEMOGLOBIN LEVELS OFFEMALE ADOLESCENTS AT STATE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 2 PEKANBARU

Abstrak

Adolescent girls are prone to anemia because they experience menstruation every month and there are still many who do not regularly consume Fe tablets, where menstruation is the cause of a decrease in hemoglobin levels so that they need iron. The effort made is to consume mung bean juice because it contains iron and vitamin c which can help increase hemoglobin levels so that it becomes an alternative treatment for anemia. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of mung bean juice on increasing hemoglobin levels of adolescent girls at SMAN 2 Pekanbaru. This type of research is quantitative using a Quasi Experimental design with a one group pre-test-post-test design approach conducted on December 9-16 at SMA Negeri 2 Pekanbaru with a total of 15 respondents. The research instrument consists of a digital measuring device to measure hemoglobin levels and an observation sheet. The administration of mung bean juice is given 1 time in a day as much as 250 ml in the morning for 7 days. The results of the study showed that the hemoglobin levels of the respondents before and after consuming mung bean juice increased, which can be seen from the mean pre-test results of 11.04 gr/dl and post-test which was 11.79 gr/dl gr/dl. The results of the t-test obtained a p-value of 0.000, meaning that there was an effect of mung bean juice on hemoglobin levels. The results of this study are expected to be a source of reference and one of theinspirations in conducting further research and it is hoped that future researchers will be able to use the time more appropriately so as to get more optimal results and respondents in the research who have Hb levels that have a similar range.
