Abstract

Anemia among adolescent girls can negatively affect learning concentration, productivity, and quality of life. The administration of iron (Fe) tablets, dates (Phoenix dactylifera L), and moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam) has the potential to increase hemoglobin levels because they contain iron and other essential nutrients that support erythrocyte formation. Objective: to determine the effectiveness of consuming date and moringa leaf extract pudding combined with Fe tablets in hemoglobin levels among female adolescent girls at Sukabumi. Methodology: This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a two-group prepost test. The sample of 40 respondents, divided into an intervention (n=20) and a control (n=20), selected using purposive sampling. The intervention group received combination pudding and moringa leaf extract along with one Fe tablet daily for 14 days, while the control group received only one Fe tablet daily. The Independent Samples t-test got a p value of 0.00 in both groups, and the Dependent Samples t-test got a p value of 0.62 before the treatment and 0.00 after the treatmentConclusion: Consumption of date pudding containing moringa leaf extract combined with Fe tablets was more effective in increasing hemoglobin levels than Fe tablet supplementation alone among adolescent girls.
