Introduction: Globally, approximately 140 million births occur every year. In India the incidence of Institutional normal vaginal deliveries 61.5% with 58.4% of normal vaginal delivery with episiotomy. Maternal mortality Worldwide nearly 6 Lakh mothers between the age of 15-49 years die every year due to complication arising from pregnancy and childbirth.Kegel exercises are the most popular method of reinforcing pelvic floor muscles. They were first described in 1948 by the American gynecologist Arnold Kegel. The squeeze and hold vaginal exercises known as Kegel’s were specifically designed to target pelvic floor strengthening which damage due to vaginal delivery. Material and Methods: A Pre-experimental one group Pre-test post-test research design was adopted to conduct the study. Target population was B.Sc. Nursing 3rd year students. A purposive sampling technique was utilized for selecting a sample of 60 B.Sc. Nursing 3rd year students. Section A: - Deals with the socio-demographic variables such as Age, Residence, types of family, period of exposure in Clinical area, Previous knowledge about Kegel exercise and Source of knowledge. Section B: - Deals with self-structured knowledge questionnaire to assess the knowledge regardingKegel exercise on episiotomy pain and wound healing among B.Sc. Nursing 3rd year students. Result: Analysis of pre-test and post-test knowledge score using frequency, percentage and total score indicates that out of 60 B.Sc. Nursing 3rd year students in pre-test majority 3.33% (02) were in good, 63.33% (38) were in averageand 33.33% (20) sample were in need to improve on knowledge regardingKegel exercise on episiotomy pain and wound healingand in post-test majority 76.66% (46) sample were in good, 23.33% (14) were average and 0% (0) were in need to improve.which proves the effectiveness of the video assisted teaching programme.Chi-square analysis shows significant association between knowledge and previous knowledge of subjects, source of information of subjects. Conclusion: A study that conducted the use of video assisted teaching programmeregardingKegel exercise on episiotomy pain and wound healingwas effective in increase knowledge among B.Sc. Nursing 3rd year students.
Background of the study: The aim of the present study is to assess the effectiveness of planned health teaching programme (PHTP) on knowledge regarding dengue fever and its prevention”. Dengue is the most extensively spread mosquito-borne disease, that causes Haemorrhagic fever, a potentially lethal complication, was recognized during the 1950s and is today a leading cause of childhood mortality in several Asian countries. Dengue viruses are transmitted to humans through the bites of infective female Aedes mosquitoes.7 Objectives: ● To assess the pretested post-test knowledge regarding dengue fever and its prevention among the higher secondary student in selected govt. School at durg. ● To assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding dengue fever and its prevention. Methods: Quasi experimental one group pre-test post-test design was adopted. A total of 60 samples were selected probability -simple random sampling technique after 7th day of intervention post-test had conducted and the collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: Evaluation of the effectiveness of planned teaching health programme on knowledge regarding dengue fever and its prevention shows that The mean post-test knowledge score obtained was (16.78), mean % (55.93) were higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (8.35), mean % (27.83), The calculated t- value 4.9, DF (59) is greater then table value 2.02 at the 0.05 level of significance. Interpretation and conclusion: Findings of the study showed that the knowledge score of the higher secondary students regarding dengue fever and its prevention was less before the introduction of PHTP. The PHTP facilitated them to gain more knowledge regarding dengue fever and its prevention which was evident in post-test knowledge scores. Hence H1 is accepted which proves the effectiveness of planned health teaching programme regarding dengue fever and its prevention. Conclusion: The data were analyzed by applying descriptive and inferential statistics. The result of the study indicated that Higher secondary students 81.66% had poor knowledge before the intervention and after intervention there was 100% improvement in the knowledge and they gain good knowledge about dengue and its prevention. The findings of the present study showed that, the posttest knowledge score was higher than the pre-test Knowledge score range. The hypothesis are proved and accepted.
Introduction: Leucorrhoea is an abnormal excessive vaginal discharge often associated with irritation1. This is the most common gynaecological problem that brings the women to gynec out patient. The symptom may be associated with cancer phobia2. It can be symptom of underlying pelvic pathology3. It accounts for more than an estimated of 1/4th genaec patients visits to gynaecologis4. It is one of the common problems that women’s has to face in their lifetime. Sometimes this symptom is so severe that, it over shadows actual disease and women seek the treatment of only this symptom3. Material And Methods: Pre-experimental, one group pre-test post-test research design was adopted. A total of 60 samples were selected using non-probability purposive sampling technique. The tool used for the study comprises of two sections. Section A-Socio-demographic variables such as Age, Religion, Educational status, Type of family, Residential area, Period of work exposure in clinical area, Previous knowledge related to the topic and main source of information. Section B- comprises of online self- structured knowledge questionnaire to assess the knowledge regarding leucorrhoea and its prevention among B.sc nursing 3rd year students which includes 30 questions. Result: The study findings reveled that pre- test score of the majority of students 18 (30%) had average knowledge score whereas 21 (35%) need for improvement in their knowledge level, post-test majority 60 (100%) had good knowledge. Pre-test mean score were 15.5 and SD was 5.7 whereas the post-test mean was 25.83 and SD 1.65. The t-value 3.04, (df.59) which is highly significant and greater than table value 2.0010 at 0.05 level of significance which proves the effectiveness of the planned teaching programme. Chi-square analysis shows significant association between period of work in clinical area and source of information of subjects. Conclusion: The results suggest that supporting, reassuring and educating B.Sc. nursing students and giving information on leucorrhoea and its prevention was effective to increase knowledge and helps them to changes their strategy in self care and are recommended to promote positive attitudes towards personal hygiene.
