Abstract
OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the knowledge of mothers regarding Prevention and control of malaria before administering teaching programme. 2. To develop and administer Planned teaching programme on Prevention and control of malaria. 3. To find out the effectiveness of Planned teaching programme in improving the knowledge of mothers by post test. 4. To compare the pretest and post test knowledge score of mothers on prevention and control of malaria. 5. To explore the relationship between pretest knowledge scores with selected demographic variables like age, education, occupation, type of family, family income, method of water storage and drainage system. The conceptual framework adopted for this study was based on Stuffle Beams Evaluation Model. The research approach adopted for this study was quasiexperimental approach. The research design selected for this study was one group pre test, post test, which was used to measure the effectiveness of planned teaching programme. The selection of mothers was done by simple random sampling technique and the sample consists of 50 mothers in Karattuppalayam area, Tiruchengodu Taluk, Namakkal District. The instrument developed and used for this present study was semi-structured interview schedule, which had two parts. Part I: Comprised of 17 items related to socio demographic variables. Part II: Comprised of Section A: Comprised of 10 items related to knowledge of malaria. Section B: Comprised of 24 items related to prevention and control of malaria. The study was conducted during the month of December 2010, the collected data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of frequencies, percentages, mean, SD, t-test and chi-square test. MAJOR FINDINGS: In the present study, majority of them were between 26-35 yrs and all are hindus and educated.58% of the mothers were house wives and 38% had the monthly income between 4001-6000.Among 50 mothers 38% of them belonged to nuclear family.12% of the mothers had the previous history of malaria in the family. The post test mean score percentage (77.4%) on prevention and control of malaria were comparatively more than their pre-test knowledge score 32.88%.It confirms that ,there was increase in knowledge after administration of planned teaching programme. The paired `t’ test analysis of the pre and post test knowledge t=34.253(P<0.05) was highly significant. This result evidently supports the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on prevention and control of malaria. The present study also reveals that, there is a significant association between the score on prevention and control of malaria with selected socio demographic variables like age, income, occupation, method of water storage, type of drainage and previous history of malaria. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. The study can be replicated by using a larger sample there by findings can be generalized. 2. Comparative study may be conducted to find out similarities or difference in knowledge between urban and rural communities. 3. A study may be conducted to identify the factors which influence the spread of malaria among the people in the community. 4. A longitudinal study can be done among the public on the prevention and control of malaria. 5. Mass and individual regional language health education campaign can be conducted.
