Abstract
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A Quasi experimental study to assess the effectiveness of child to child approach on knowledge regarding impact of television watching among school going children in selected schools at Trichy. OBJECTIVES: 1. To evaluate the existing level of knowledge regarding impact of television watching among school going children in experimental and control group. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of child to child approach on knowledge regarding impact of television watching among school going children in experimental group. 3. To compare the mean posttest level of knowledge regarding child to child approach on impact of television watching among school going children between control and experimental group. 4. To determine the association between selected demographic variables with pretest level of knowledge regarding child to child approach on impact of television watching among school going children in control group. 5. To determine the association between selected demographic variables with pretest level of knowledge regarding child to child approach on impact of television watching among school going children in experimental group. HYPOTHESIS: H1 : There was a significant difference in knowledge regarding impact of television watching in experimental group. H2 : There was a significant difference in level of knowledge on impact of television watching among school going children after child-child approach in experimental group than in control group. H3 : There was a significant association between selected demographic variables with pre-test level of knowledge regarding the impact of television watching among school going children in control group. H4 : There was a significant association between selected demographic variables with pre-test level of knowledge regarding the impact of television watching among school going children in experimental group. Conceptual Framework: Based on Daniel Stuffle Beam's health belief model Research design: Quasi experimental pretest posttest control design: E O1 X O2, C O3 O4. Population: The study samples consisted of school children studying 8th standard. Sampling technique: Non probability convenience sampling technique was used. Samples: School going children who were studying in 8th standard at Care International School and RC matriculation school at Trichy district. Setting: Care International School and RC matriculation school at Trichy. Tools: Self – administered knowledge questionnaire. Data Collection: A quasi experimental pretest posttest control group design was used. Pretest level of knowledge was assessed both in control and experimental group. Health education was provided to the 8th standard students regarding impact of television watching. Here the change agents will be trained for the initiation of child to child approach program. Three days after training, post test will be given to the change agents to assess whether they have acquired adequate knowledge. Re-training will be given in case of inadequate knowledge observed in change agents by convenience method for the initiation of program. Then, the knowledge on impact of television watching will be imparted through their peer group in three sessions. Each session lasts for 30 minutes and discussion for 10 minutes. There were 5 students for each change agents. Pretest and posttest level of knowledge was assessed for both control and experimental group. MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: 1. The result of the study showed that the mean post test score was higher than the mean pretest score. 2. The findings of the study showed that the mean post test score in experimental group was higher than control group post test mean score. 3. There was no significant association between the pretest score with selected demographic variables in control group. 4. There was no significant association between the pretest score with selected demographic variables in experimental group. CONCLUSION: The study brought out the following conclusion that education to the school children is very important regarding impact of television watching. The school children’s knowledge is improved after the administration through child approach. Therefore awareness regarding the impact of television watching through health education can be promoted for forthcoming generation.
