The result showed that 80 of respondents had an adequate knowledge score 20 30 and 20 had moderate knowledge score 10 19 .The study concluded that level of knowledge score was less when assessed after conducting pretest, whereas the score had increased in posttest after the implementation Structured Teaching Programme Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. 

A pre experimental one group pre test post test design was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of STP on knowledge regarding first aid management among school teachers in selected schools at Vadavucode Puthencruz Panchayat. The objective were to determine the level of knowledge regarding first aid management among school teachers before structured teaching programme and to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme in terms of gain in knowledge. METHODS The research approach adopted for this study was quantitative type and the research design was pre experimental one group pre test post test design. This study was conducted among 30 school teachers in selected schools at Vadavucode Puthencruz Panchayat based on inclusion criteria using convenient sampling technique. The data for the study was collected by structured questionnaire following which samples were subjected to STP on first aid management for duration of one hour. Post test was conducted after seven days following intervention using same knowledge questionnaire. The data were analyzed and interpreted by descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS Among demographic variables most of the subjects were in the age group of 41years 40 and 13 of them were in the age group of 36 40 years. The pre test knowledge score were 20 of the participants obtained between the range of good, 47 obtained score in the range of average and 33 obtained poor score. Similarly post test score were 70 obtained good score and 30 obtained average and nobody obtained poor score. This indicate that the mean post test knowledge score 29.3 after intervention is higher than the mean pre test knowledge 20.8 before intervention. The obtained’t’ value 9.7 is significant at p 0.05 level. So the selected hypothesis H1 is accepted. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSION The result revealed that there was a significant improvement in knowledge among school teachers regarding First aid management after structured teaching programme.

Background Balanced diet is very vital for daily life’s activities. Proper nourishment and right feeding routine prevents illness and disabilities. Malnutrition is still the root cause of morbidity and mortality in children of under five years of age. Children of under five age are far more at risk of suffering from nutritional deficiencies. A mother is a primary care giver to a child, and thus it is paramount that se requires to have accurate knowledge concerning the care of under five years aged children and nourishment they require. Educating mothers can aid in enhancing the knowledge and practice to avoid malnourishment, in succession this can assist in lowering the incidence of malnourishment among the children of under five years of age. Objectives 1. To assess the level of knowledge regarding nutritional diet among mothers of under five children. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding nutritional diet among mothers of under five children. 3. To find association between the pre test knowledge score with selected demographic variables. Method In this study the research approach was quasi experimental one group pre test and post test design was applied. Total 100 samples selected by multi stage random sampling technique. The intervention was structured teaching programme was introduced to the group. Knowledge was assessed by self structured questionnaire before and after the intervention. Results It is observed that the statistical t value 24.86 is greater than the critical value 1.66 which rejects the null hypothesis and accepts the alternative hypothesis that there is significant difference in knowledge of mothers. Conclusion The study concluded that, structured teaching programme is an effective way to improve the knowledge of mothers of under five children. The study recommended that structured teaching programme nutritional diet should be implemented to improve the knowledge among the mothers of under five children for providing a better health. 

Background Anorectal malformations are a complex group of congenital anomalies involving the distal anus and rectum, as well as the urinary and genital tracts in a significant number of cases. Most anorectal malformations result are malfunction of the urorectal septum in early fetal life. Objectives 1. To assess the knowledge and practice score regarding post operative care among caregivers of the children with anorectal malformation before and after administration of structured teaching programme. 2. To compare the knowledge and practice score regarding post operative care among caregivers of the children with anorectal malformation before and after administration of structure teaching programme. 3. To find out the association in knowledge and practice scores regarding post operative care among caregivers of the children with anorectal malformation and their selected demographic variables before the administration of structured teaching programme. Method In this study the research approach was quasi experimental one group pre test post test design was applied. Total 60 samples selected by purposive sampling technique. The intervention Structured Teaching Programme was introduced to the group after the pre test. Knowledge was assessed by self structured questionnaire and practice assessed by observation checklist tool before and after the intervention. Results The result revealed that mean pre test score of knowledge was 11.02±2.53 which was increased to 18.87±3.55. The mean difference was 7.85. The obtained 7.85±2.23‘t’ value 27.256 was statistically highly significant at p 0.001 level. And mean pre test score of practice was 4.32±0.97 which was increased to 8.73±1.15. The mean difference was 4.42. The obtained 4.42±0.85‘t’ value 40.270 was statistically highly significant at p 0. 001 level. The null hypothesis H0 is rejected and research hypothesis is accepted. Conclusion The study concluded that, structured teaching programme about the post operative care of anorectal malformation should be implemented to improve the knowledge and practice among the caregivers of the children with anorectal malformation and prevents complication. 

Most smokers start smoking during their adolescence or early adult years. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are approximately 120 million smokers in India. Approximately 9 lakhs people die every year in India due to smoking. A Quasi experimental with one group pre-test post-test design study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching Programme on smoking hazards among adolescents. Simple random technique was used to select 100 young adolescents and data was collected through structured knowledge questionnaire. The results revealed that mean percentage of posttest knowledge score (14.75+1.38) was higher than the mean percentage of pre-test score (7.04+1.43). Although there were no significant association found between selected demographic variables except friend smoking and family smoking with pre- test knowledge score at the level of p<0.05.Hence the structured teaching Programme was significantly proved to be an effective method to improve the knowledge regarding smoking hazards among adolescent boys.
