PEMBERIAN SAYUR KACANG HIJAU (VIGNA RADIATA) UNTUK PENANGANAN ANEMIA PADA REMAJA PUTRI

The stage of growth and development of young women will be disrupted if anemia occurs. Anemia in
adolescents is a problem that requires great attention because the incidence of anemia in adolescent
girls is still very high, namely 72.3%. This study aims to determine the effect of giving green beans to
increase hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls at UPT Paccing Health Center, City of Bone. The
research method is quasi-experimental with a one group pretest and posttest design, sampling using
accidental sampling technique where 30 samples of young women are obtained. This research uses a
digital hemoglobin measuring device and an observation sheet. The research was carried out by
giving 700 grams of green beans per day and then consumed in the form of green beans which were
consumed for 18 days. The results of pre-post measurements showed that female adolescents whose
hemoglobin was normal from 43.3% increased to 80%, those with mild anemia from 43.3% decreased
to 20% while those with severe anemia were 13.3% to 0%. The results of the chi-square test showed
that giving green beans to young women had an effect on increasing hemoglobin (p = 0.000). So that
consuming green bean vegetables can be used as an alternative and prevention of the incidence of
anemia in young women.
