Objective:
To explore the school teachers' perspectives on factors affecting the implementation of National Iron Plus Initiative (NIPI).
Methods:
A qualitative participatory study was conducted in six schools in rural areas of Telangana, involving free listing, pile sorting, and force field analysis. Analysis included frequency calculations, multidimensional scaling, hierarchical cluster analysis, and thematic analysis.
Results:
Fifty four teachers participated; 25 barriers and 14 enablers were identified. Key barriers included lack of education and health literacy, negative attitudes, lack of faith in public services, and unhygienic practices. Major enablers were school-based anemia-related activities, government awareness programs, and programmatic interventions. Force field analysis revealed attitudes and awareness gaps as significant barriers, while school-based activities emerged as the primary enabler.
Conclusion:
School-based interventions, addressing attitudinal and educational barriers, and adopting a holistic approach are crucial for effective anemia prevention in rural settings.
