Application Value of Targeted Nursing Intervention for Pediatric Nutritional Iron-Deficiency Anemia

Objective: To evaluate the nursing effects of targeted care for children with nutritional iron-deficiency anemia (IDA). Methods: A total of 88 children with IDA admitted to the hospital from November 2021 to November 2023 were selected (each child included one accompanying family member). Using a random number table, the participants were divided into two groups: the observation group, which received targeted nursing care, and the reference group, which received standard nursing care. The anemia correction rate, nutritional indicators, and family knowledge level were compared. Results: The anemia correction rate in the observation group was higher than in the reference group, with post-nursing nutritional indicators superior to those in the reference group. Additionally, family members in the observation group had a higher level of knowledge (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Targeted nursing can effectively correct anemia symptoms in children with IDA, improve nutritional indicators, and increase family members’ knowledge, demonstrating high nursing effectiveness.
