Abstract
The aim of study to observe influence of the baruasa kacang gude (gude bean) consumption on the body weight, upper arm circumferences and serum protein level in the elementary school student with malnutrition. The study was conducted by using quasi experimental research with non-randomized pre-post design for 2 months period. The sampling method was purposive sampling technique. The study involved 56 students is divided to 2 groups: intervention and control group. The intervention group is consisted samples who had gude bean and deworming agent only. Meanwhile, control group is included samples who had deworming agent. The intervention group had given 10 ml of deworming agent (pryantel pamoate) and gude bean (78 g/day) for 60 days. In additions, 10 ml of deworming agent (pryantel pamoate) was given to control group. The measurement of the body weight, upper arm circumference, and serum protein was taken before and after the intervention. The result showed changed of mean value of body weight, upper arm circumference and total serum protein in the intervention group was higher than control group. Statistically, there was significant difference in increment of upper arm circumference in the intervention group compared to control group. The gude beans had increased body weight, upper arm circumference and serum protein level in the elementary school students with malnutrition.
