Statement of the study “A study to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding first aid management of convulsion in students among the pre-primary School teachers of the selected schools in Ahmedabad city.” Background of the study “Epilepsy, also known as convulsion and seizure, originates from the Greek word meaning a state of being prone to weakness, tension, or convulsion. According to the World Health Organization, 3-10 out of every 1000 people worldwide experience convulsions. Nearly 5% of children are at risk of seizures. Approximately 1 in 100 individuals may have this condition, with 70% to 75% of cases developing in childhood. As of September 2020, 5 crore people are affected by epilepsy, and 50% of them reside in developing countries. In these regions, new cases are observed in both children and the elderly. School teachers play a crucial role as first responders to school accidents and health emergencies. They must be equipped to handle situations, particularly those related to convulsive disorders. The prevalence of these disorders is attributed to inadequate services and knowledge about epilepsy among patients, parents, and teachers.” Objectives of the study 1. To assess the pre-test level of knowledge on first aid management of convulsion In students among the pre-primary school teachers. 2. To assess the post-test level of knowledge on convulsion in students among the Pre-primary school teachers. 3. To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme by comparing Pre-test and post-test knowledge scores after administration of a structured Teaching programme regarding first aid management of convulsion in students Among the pre-primary school teachers. 4. To find out association between pre-test knowledge Score among Selected demographic variables regarding first aid management of convulsion in students among the pre-primary school teachers. Methodology: Quantitative research approach was used with pre- experimental ( one group Pre-test and post -test) research design. With Non- probability convenient sampling technique 60 samples using pre - test and post -test knowledge questionnaire comprising 30 questions. Results: According to the findings, the level of Knowledge score of 60 Respondents reveals that 8(13.33%) had poor knowledge and 52(86.67%) had good Knowledge. The mean pre-test score was 11.53 and the mean post test score was 18.30. The mean difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge score was 6.77. The standard deviation of pre-test score of knowledge was 2.57 and Post-test standard deviation was 2.77. The calculated‘t’ value was 18.522 and tabulated‘t’ value was 2 at the 0.05 level of significance.

Conclusion: In present study, the level of knowledge is improved after administrating structure teaching programme and There was a significant association between pre-test knowledge score and selected demographic variables such as, gender. Hence, hypothesis H1 and H2 was aacepted.
