Abstract

A Pre experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding risk factors, early identification and preventive measures of breast cancer among college students in a selected college at Alappuzha District. The objectives of the study were to assess the pretest and posttest level of knowledge regarding breast cancer among college students, to find out the association between pretest level of knowledge with selected socio demographic variables. Conceptual frame work was based on Nola J Pender’s Health promotion Model (1996). The study was conducted at Sree Buddha college of Engineering Pattor. The samples were 60 college students, who were selected by stratified random sampling technique. The pretest level of knowledge was assessed using structured knowledge questionnaire and structured teaching programme given. The posttest was conducted on the 7th day using the same tool. The result showed that the mean posttest score 16.75 with SD 2.321 was significantly higher than the mean pretest score 11.48 with SD 3.14 with a mean difference of 5.27. Since the calculated ‘t’ value 18.96 which was greater than the table value (2.66) with degree of freedom 59 at 0.01 level of significance. Hence we can conclude that the educational programme was effective in improving the knowledge level of college students.
