Abstract
An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of IEC package on knowledge and utilization of ICDS services among mothers in selected village, Kanyakumari district. True experimental, pre test post test control group design was adopted for this study. Survey was conducted by using the survey form to identify the mothers who have under five children. Random sampling technique was used to select 60 samples, out of which 30 samples for study group and 30 samples for control group. The questioner on knowledge and rating scale for utilization was used to collect data. For the study group the investigator gave IEC package after pre test. The researcher categorized the group into three to give IEC package. Then the post test was conducted at the 22nd day for both study and control group. The findings revealed that, during pre test, in Study group 2 (6.67%) had inadequate level of knowledge, 18 (60%) had moderate level of knowledge, and 10 (33.33%) had adequate level of knowledge. In Control group, 7 (23.33%) had inadequate level of knowledge, 20 (66.67%) had moderate level of knowledge and 3 (10%) had adequate level of knowledge. In the utilization in Study group 5 (16.67%) had no utilization, 22 (73.33%) had partial utilization, and 3 (10%) had full utilization and in Control group, 3 (10%) had no utilization, 27 (90%) had partial utilization and none of them had full utilization. During post test, in Study group, none of them had inadequate level of knowledge, 11 (36.67%) had moderate level of knowledge and 19(63.33%) had adequate level of knowledge and in Control group, 6 (20%) had inadequate level of knowledge, 21 (70%) had moderate level of knowledge, 3 (10%) had adequate level of knowledge. Based on the utilization in Study group none of them had no utilization, 26 (86.67%) had partial utilization, and 4 (13.33%) had full utilization and in control group, 5 (16.67%) had no utilization, 25 (83.33%) had partial utilization and none of them had full utilization. The paired ‘t’ value in the study group for the level knowledge was 10.45* which is significant at p < 0.05 and for the utilization it was 5.7* which is significant at p < 0.05 It shows that IEC package was effective in increasing the level of knowledge and utilization. Hence the research hypothesis (H1) is accepted. The unpaired ‘t’ value for study and control group was 8.67* for knowledge and 2.47* for utilization which is significant at p < 0.05. It shows that IEC package is effective in increasing the level of knowledge and utilization. Hence the research hypothesis (H2) is accepted. The correlation between the level of knowledge and utilization in the study group is 0.508 in pre test and 0.416 in post test. Hence the hypothesis H3 is accepted. There was no significant association in between the post test level of knowledge and utilization with their demographic variables. Hence research hypothesis H4 is not accepted.
