STATEMENT “A STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF STRUCTURED TEACHING PROGRAMME ON KNOWLEDGE REGARDING ANEMIA AND ITS PREVENTION AMONG ANTENATAL MOTHERS IN SELECTED COMMUNITY AREA AT AHMEDABAD CITY” OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY • To evaluate the pre-test knowledge regarding anemia and its prevention among antenatal mothers. • To evaluate the post-test knowledge regarding anemia and its prevention among antenatal mothers. • To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding anemia and its prevention among antenatal mothers. • To find out association between pre-test knowledge score with selected demographic variables among antenatal mothers. HYPOTHESIS:- • H0:-There will be no significant difference between mean pre-test knowledge score than their post-test knowledge score regarding anemia and its prevention among antenatal mothers. • H1:-There will be a significant difference between mean pre-test knowledge score than their mean post-test knowledge score regarding anemia and its prevention among antenatal mothers. • H2:- There will be significant association between pre-test level of knowledge score and demographic variables among antenatal mothers. Research methodology Research approach: A Quantitative approach Research design: Quasi- experimental One group pre-test post-test design Research setting: Selected community area at Ahmedabad city. Population Target population: all antenatal mothers with age group 18 years to 35 years in a selected community area at Ahmedabad. Accessible population: antenatal mothers with age group 18 year to 35 year who will be present at the time of data collection in a selected community area at Ahmedabad city and fulfilling all the inclusion criteria of the study. Variables Demographic variables: Age, Educational status, Occupation, Diet pattern and Source of information. Dependant variables: Knowledge regarding anemia in pregnancy and its prevention among antenatal mothers. Independent variable: Effect of structured teaching programme. Sampling technique: Non probability convenience sampling technique. Sample size: 60 samples Procedure for Data collection Data collection was carried out by taking formal permission from concerned authorities of a selected community area at Ahmedabad city. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the samples were selected by non-probability convenience sampling technique. The researcher introduced herself to the participants and objectives were explained and informed consent was taken. The study group is selected and then a pre- test conducted with the help of a structured knowledge questionnaire regarding anemia and its prevention will be conducted. On the same day as an intervention, a structured teaching programme will be administered regarding anemia in pregnancy to the study group. Then after the 7th day post-test will be conducted using the same structured knowledge questionnaire. Tool The tool consists of the following sections, Section A: Demographic variable Section B: Structured knowledge questionnaire Plan for data Analysis Section A: Analysis and interpretation of the demographic variables of the samples. Demographic variables analysed using frequency and percentage and presented in the form of the table. The association of each demographic variable with pre-test knowledge and practice score was analysed by using the chi-square test and present in the form of a table. Section B: Analysis and interpretation of the data collected on structured knowledge questionnaire. The data from the structured knowledge questionnaire before and after administration of a structured teaching program was analysed by using an unpaired ‘t’ test and present in the form of tables and graphs. Section C: Analysis and interpretation of the data related to the association of the demographic variable and structured knowledge questionnaire. Major findings of the study  Findings related to demographic variables samples I. In the age, majority of the samples 25 (41.7%) belong to the age group of 26-30 years, 08 (13.3%) samples belong to the age group of 18-20 years, 19 (31.7%) belong to the age group of 21-25 years and 08(13.3%) 18 years. J. In the educational status, majority of the samples 41 (68.3%) were primary / secondary school level, 14 (23.3%) were higher secondary school level and 05 (08.3%) were graduation and above level. K. In the occupation , majority of the samples 41 (68.3%) were housewives and 19 (31.7%) were employee. L. In the diet pattern, majority of the samples 44(73.3%) were vegetarian, 4 (6.7%) were non-vegetarian and 12(20%) were mixed. M. In the source of information, majority of sample 32 (53.3%) having information from health care professionals, 21 (35%) having information from family members/friends and 07 (11.7%) having information from mass media (TV, radio, newspaper, mobile).  findings related to area wise mean, mean percentage and a percentage gain of pre-test and post-test knowledge score regarding anemia in pregnancy and its prevention among antenatal mothers. The mean pre-test knowledge score of related to disease and type was 1.80, SD was 0.61 and the mean post-test score was 2.80 and SD was 0.82 with a mean difference of 1.00. The mean pre-test knowledge score of clinical features of anemia in pregnancy was 0.55, SD was 0.50 and the mean post-test score was 0.93 and SD was 0.25 with a mean difference of 0.38. The mean pre-test knowledge score of causes of anemia in pregnancy was 1.32, SD was 0.81 and the mean post-test score was 2.77 and SD was 0.93 with a mean difference of 1.45. The mean pre-test knowledge score of the consequences of anemia in pregnancy of anemia in pregnancy was 0.28, SD was 0.61 and the mean post-test score was 1.48 and SD was 0.62 with a mean difference of 1.20. The mean pre-test knowledge score of diagnostic evaluation of anemia in pregnancy was 0.83, SD was 0.38 and the mean post-test score was 1.00 and SD was 0.00 with a mean difference of 0.17. The mean pre- test knowledge score of management of anemia in pregnancy was 1.55, SD was 0.70 and the mean post-test score was 2.13 and SD was 0.95 with a mean difference of .58. The mean pre- test knowledge score of prevention of anemia in pregnancy was 5.62, SD was 1.74 and the mean post-test score was 9.78 and SD was 1.57 with a mean difference of 4.16. The above table shows that the percentage gain in the area related to disease and type was 25.00. In the area related to clinical features of anemia in pregnancy was 38.00. In the area related to causes of anemia in pregnancy was 36.25. In the area related to consequences of anemia in pregnancy was 60.00. In the area related to diagnostic evaluation of anemia in pregnancy was 17.00. In the area related to the management of anemia in pregnancy was 14.50. In the area related to the prevention of anemia in pregnancy was 29.71. So, the investigator concludes that there was a significant increase in the mean post-test knowledge score (20.90) as compared to the mean pre-test knowledge score (11.95) of samples after the administration of The Structured Teaching Programme.  findings related to analysis and interpretation of the data related to the association of pre-test knowledge score with selected demographic variables. Age group with the pre-test knowledge scores, the calculated value of chi-square 2.51 was less than 7.82, the table value of chi-square at the 3 degree of freedom and 0.05 level of significance. Therefore, age was non-significant for the knowledge of the samples. Under the Educational status of samples with pre-test knowledge scores, the calculated value of chi-square 1.519 was less than 5.99 the table value of chi-square at the 2 degree of freedom and 0.05 level of significance. Therefore, the Educational status of samples was non-significant for the knowledge of the samples. Under the Occupation of samples with pre-test knowledge scores, the calculated value of chi-square 4.00 was more than 3.84 the table value of chi-square at the 1 degree of freedom and 0.05 level of significance. Therefore, the occupation of samples was significant for the knowledge of the samples. Under diet pattern of samples with pre-test knowledge scores, the calculated value of chi- square 6.005 was more than 5.99 the table value of chi-square at the 2 degree of freedom and 0.05 level of significance. Therefore, from diet pattern of samples was significant for the knowledge of the samples. Under source of information of samples with pre-test knowledge scores, the calculated value of chi- square 0.625 was less than 5.99 the table value of chi-square at the 2 degree of freedom and 0.05 level of significance. Therefore, from source of information of samples was non-significant for the knowledge of the samples.
