Abstract

AIM: The study aims to determine the effect of Moringa oleifera teabags on increased Hemoglobin (Hb) in adolescent girls.

METHODS: The research method used in this research was a pre-post-test one group design, a research design to determine the cause and effect or effect of an intervention. The treatment was carried out by giving M. oleifera teabags 2 times. Specifically, one sachet (3 g) in the morning and one sachet (3 g) in the afternoon, dipped in 250 ml hot water, and added two teaspoons granulated sugar. The treatment was given for 30 days.

RESULTS: An increase in the average of Hb (mean) before the intervention was 10.71 g/dl. After 15 days of the intervention, it was 11.03 g/dl. Subsequently, after 30 days of intervention, the average Hb value (mean) was 11.63 g/dl, then the p-value ≤ α, which was 0.000 (p < 0.05), and these results indicated a significant difference between Hb before and after the intervention.

CONCLUSION: There was a significant difference between Hb before and after the intervention, meaning that there was an effect of Moringa leaf teabags on the increase in Hb in adolescent females.
