The experimental variable gave iron tablets for four weeks accompanied by a short video for the intervention group and only gave iron tablets for four weeks for the control group. The affected variable was Hb levels. Results. After the intervention, the Hb level in the intervention group increased by 0.3 mg/dL while the control group increased by 0.8 mg/dL but didn’t show a statistical difference (p>0.05). There was no statistical difference (p 0.588) in Hb level change between the intervention and control groups Conclusion. There was no statistical difference in Hb level change between the intervention and control groups.]]>
