(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-01-08) García Adrianzén, Clara Taurina; Lozada Urbano, Michelle
The battle against anemia and malnutrition continues to be a challenge in Peru. Observational, longitudinal, and analytical study. To determine the assessment of the intervention, McNemar's non-parametric test was used. Study made up of 57 people, distributed among 25 men and 35 women, who correspond to father, mother or caregiver of boys or girls under five years of age. We worked with the entire population. The results show 78% have a marital status defined as cohabiting. 43.75% are in the range of 21 to 30 years old. More than 56% have completed incomplete primary and completed secondary education. 61% have their houses made of adobe. Less than a third of homes have electricity and water. 50% of children are diagnosed with anemia, and that percentage is between mild and moderate anemia. 92.5% consume foods of animal origin. 59.46% consume them 3 times a week. 37.5% present malnutrition. The intervention was carried out in 40 homes. After Hb 1 screening & Hb 2 screening, with a P=0.00, there is a modification in the Hemoglobin measurement, likewise, after the BMI measurement before and after, with a P=0.039, there is a modification in the nutritional diagnosis as a result. of the intervention. This intervention demonstrates that the strategies applied allowed for the improvement of anemia and chronic malnutrition.
