Nutritional Educational Program On Therapy in Iron Deficiency Anemia

Conditions: Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), Nutrition Disorders, Growth Retardation

Sex: All
Ages: 1 Year – 5 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 180
Sponsor: Hawler Medical University

Location: Hawler Medical University/College of nursing Erbil Kurdistan Region, Iraq

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a Nutritional Educational Program for caregivers can improve their knowledge and performance in managing iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in children, compared to oral iron therapy alone. The study focuses on children with IDA, particularly in \[age range 1-5 years\], and aims to determine if combining nutritional education with oral iron therapy has a greater impact on improving hemoglobin levels than iron therapy alone. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does caregiver education improve children's hemoglobin levels more effectively than oral iron therapy alone? 2. Does nutritional education improve caregiver knowledge and practices regarding iron-rich diets? Researchers will compare children who receive both caregiver education and oral iron therapy to those receiving only oral iron therapy to assess differences in hemoglobin levels. Participants will: Receive oral iron supplements. Caregivers will participate in educational sessions on dietary strategies to manage IDA.
