Abstract
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of Self Instructional Module (SIM) on knowledge regarding menopause and its impact among women in selected rural areas, Coimbatore. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the knowledge regarding menopause and its impact among women at selected rural areas. 2. To evaluate effectiveness of self instructional module on knowledge regarding menopause and its impact among women. 3. To find out the aassociation between level of knowledge scores with demographic variables. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: Conceptual framework was based on King’s goal Attainment Theory. METHODOLOGY: A pre experimental one group pre test-post test design was adopted. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data. A total of 40 women were selected using non probability convenience sampling technique. The data obtained were analyzed and interpreted based on the objectives and hypothesis, using descriptive and inferential statistics at 0.05 level of significance. RESULTS: Pre test knowledge assessment revealed that 10% of the subjects had inadequate knowledge, 80% had moderate knowledge and 10% had adequate knowledge. The overall mean percentage score was 16% in pre test, which improved to 97% in post test. The effectiveness of self instructional module was tested by inferential statistics using paired ‘t’ test. The difference between pre test and post test knowledge scores of women regarding and its impact was found to be highly significant (t=22.9, P<0.05) Chi-square analysis was done to find out the association between demographic variables and post test knowledge level. The test value obtained for chi square was greater than the table value for the demographic variables such as religion, occupation, marital status. Hence the value was significant at 0.05 level which inferred significant association of knowledge level with the selected demographic variables. However there was no significant association between age, source of information and educational status as evident by test value being less than the table value at 0.05 level of significance. CONCLUSION: Thus this study revealed that Self Instructional Module on menopause and its impact was found to be effective.
