Title: “An experimental study to evaluate the efficacy of beet root extract along with jaggery on improving hemoglobin level among student nurses of selected nursing colleges of Hubballi.” Objectives: To assess the hemoglobin level before administration of beet root extract along with jaggery among student nurses.To evaluate the effectiveness of beet root extract along with jaggery on improving hemoglobin level among student nurses. To find out an association between pre-test hemoglobin level of student nurses with their selected socio-demographic variables. Methodology: Pre-experimental; one group pre-test, post-test design Non-Probability; convenient sampling technique was used to select 20 student nurses. Data was collected by structured interview schedule which comprised of two sections. Those were: Section I: Socio demographic variables of the samples contain 7 items Section-II: Haemoglobin Estimation scale (Hb % test) and the data analysis were done using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Revealed that in pre-test, 3 (10%) had Mild anemia, 10 (50%) with moderate anemia and 07(35%) had severe anemia. In the post-test after administration of beet root extract along with jaggery the result shows that, 05(25%) had no anemia, 8(40%) had mild anemia 04(20%) had moderate anemia and 03(15%) had severe anemia. There was 22.8 % increase in hemoglobin level after administration of beet root extract along with jaggery. The calculated paired‘t’ value (tcal = 22*) was greater than the tabulated value (ttab=2.093). Hence H1 was accepted. This indicated that the improve in hemoglobin level was statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance. Therefore, the beet root extract along with jaggery was effective to improve the hemoglobin level of subjects. Conclusion: Therefore, the study concluded that, the overall pre-test hemoglobin level was an average among student nurses. The post test hemoglobin level was significantly improved in the student nurses who were administered with beet root extract along with jaggery.
