Study: Investigator conducted a “a study to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding tuberculosis treatment and it’s prevention among the tuberculosis patient’s family members of selected rural areas in Ahmedabad city” Background: Tuberculosis is a disease caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is one of the most prominent mycobacterium diseases known to humankind. That rural people are not taking proper treatment of tuberculosis and they are not aware of prevention so that is important to have a knowledge regarding tuberculosis treatment and it’s prevention among the tuberculosis patient’s family members to stop the spread of infection. Objective: 1. To assess the pre-test knowledge on tuberculosis treatment and its prevention among the tuberculosis patient’s family members in selected rural areas of Ahmedabad city. 2. To assess the post-test knowledge on tuberculosis treatment and it’s prevention among the tuberculosis patient’s family members in selected rural areas of Ahmedabad city. 3. To determine the effectiveness of planned teaching Programme on tuberculosis treatment and its prevention among the tuberculosis patient’s family members in selected rural areas of Ahmedabad city. 4. To find out the association between socio-demographic variables and pre-test knowledge score regarding tuberculosis treatment and its prevention among the tuberculosis patient’s family members on selected rural areas of Ahmedabad city. Research Methodology: Under pre-experimental research design total, 80 tuberculosis patients’ family members were recruited through non probability convenient sampling. Knowledge objective and demographic variable were assessed through pre-test with the help of structured knowledge questionnaire. Afterward structured teaching programme on tuberculosis treatment and its prevention was administered along with audio-visual aid. Followed by Post-test was carried out after 07 days. Result: Study result revealed that The Area wise mean pre-test knowledge score of area related to introduction about tuberculosis treatment and its prevention. As introduction score was 3.00, pretest mean was 0.89 and SD was 0.67, posttest mean 1.94 and SD was 0.66, and mean % was 64.58, and knowledge gain in term of percentage was 35%.as causes, sign and symptoms score are 9.00, the pretest mean was 4.66 and SD was 1.11 the mean % was 51.8 and posttest mean 7.00 and SD was 1.10, mean % was 77.78, mean difference was 1.05 and gain in knowledge related to causes, sign and symptoms was 25.97%. As diagnosis score was 5.00, the pretest mean was 1.64, SD was 0.56, mean % was 32.75 and posttest mean 2.98, SD 0.91, mean % was 59.50, mean difference was 1.34, gain related to diagnosis in terms of percentages was 26.75.As treatment score 7.00, pretest mean was 2.01 and SD was 0.95, the mean% was 28.75 and the posttest mean was 2.76 and SD was 1.16, the mean% was 39.46, the mean difference was 0.75 and gain in knowledge related to treatment in terms of percentage was 10.71. As prevention score was 6.00, the pretest mean was 2.24 and SD was 0.97, the mean% was 37.29. The posttest mean was 2.61 and SD was 0.95, the mean% was 43.54, the mean difference was 0.38. The gain in knowledge related to prevention in terms of percentages was 6.25.The total score was 30.00, total pretest mean was 11.44 and total pretest SD was 2.01, the total mean% was 38.13. The total posttest mean was 17.29 and total SD 2.04, total mean% was 57.63, the total mean difference 5.85, the total gain in terms of percentages was 19.50.The comparison between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores obtained by the respondents regarding tuberculosis treatment and its prevention among the tuberculosis patient family members.The mean pretest score was 11.44 and the mean post-test score was 17.29. The mean difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge score is 5.85.The table was also shows that the standard deviation(SD) of mean difference for pre-test is 2.00 and for post-test is 2.03.The “t” test value is 29.64 and tabulated value is 1.98 at 0.05 level of significance.The calculated “t” value was greater than the tabulated “t” value. it reveals that a structure Teaching Programme was effective in terms of knowledge among the samples. Investigators conclude that there was significant increase in the mean post-test knowledge score as compared to the mean pre-test knowledge score after administration of a stature Teaching Programme. Conclusion: There was significant increase in the mean post-test knowledge score as compared to the mean pre-test knowledge score after administration of a stature Teaching Programme. It conclude that structure teaching Programme was effective in terms of knowledge among the tuberculosis patient’s family members of selected rural areas. The association between the pre test score and demographical variables was tested by using chi- square test. There was significant association between gender, marital status and pre-test knowledge score. This indicates that the selected socio demographic variable had significant association with pretest knowledge score. Thus, It conclude that There was significant association between pre test score and selected demographical variables.
