GIVING HYLOCEREUS POLYRHIZUS AND HONEY IN IN-CREASING HEMOGLOBIN LEVELS IN YOUNG WOMEN IN SMPN 7 OF GORONTALO CITY

Abstract

Iron is a mineral that is needed to form Red blood cells (haemoglobin) And also plays a role as a component to form mioglobin (protein that carries oxygen to the muscle), collagen (Protein found in bones, Cartilage and connective tissue) As well as enzymes. One alternative that can be done to increase iron levels in blood in the blood is to increase hylocereus polyrhizus. Hylocereus polyrhizus Contains iron which is useful for adding blood cells. The purpose of this study is Knowing the effectiveness of giving Hylocereus polyrhizus and honey Against increased levels haemoglobin in young women at SMPN 7 of Gorontalo city.

This research method includes in praeksperimen design with two-group pra-post test design. Where researcher involved two groups of young women, which was observed before the intervention of administration of Hylocereus polyrhizus and Hylocereus polyrhizus with honey. Furthermore, observed again After the two interventions are carried out. This research was conducted on July 12 until October 12, 2019.

Research results using t-test dependent. Show that result P - value is 0,000 Smaller than @=0,05, so it was concluded that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. So it is effective giving Hylocereus polyrhizusin increasing hemoglobin levels in young women in SMPN 7 of Gorotalocity. The conclusion from the study shows that there is a significant influence in Hylocereus polyrhizus and Hylocereus polyrhizus with honey against the increase in hemoglobin levels in young women in junior high school 7 of Gorontalocity.
