Abstract
A study to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention of “TORCH” infections during pregnancy among antenatal mothers in a selected hospital at Erode District. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY To assess the level of knowledge regarding prevention of TORCH infection during pregnancy antenatal mothers in experimental and control group. To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention of TORCH infection during pregnancy among antenatal mothers in experimental group. To find out the post test knowledge regarding prevention of TORCH infection during pregnancy among antenatal mothers with their selected demographic variable. HYPOTHESIS H1-There will be a significant differences between the pre and post test knowledge regarding prevention of TORCH infection during pregnancy among antenatal mothers in experience and control group. H2-There will be a significant differences between post test level of knowledge regarding prevention of TORCH infection with the experimental and control group. H3-There will be a significant associations in knowledge regarding TORCH infection with the demographic variable. CONCEPTUAL FRAME WORK The conceptual frame work adopted for this study based on the general system theory (modified). “Ludwing Von Bertalaneffy‟s model (1968). Research Methods The research design adopted for this study was true experimental design and research approach adopted for this was to evaluative the educative approach. The size was 60 months. In this 30 months were selected for experimental group and 30 for control group by convenient sampling method. Mothers were selected in selected hospitals in Erode District. RESULTS The findings of the experimental group of mother‟s pre test knowledge score was 27 (90%) level of knowledge was inadequate. 1 (3%) level of knowledge was Moderately adequate knowledge. 2(7%) level of knowledge was adequate in experimental group. Now the level of knowledge score was adequate in experimental group. Hence the evaluate the effectiveness of STP on post test knowledge in experimental group was 34.0% , pre test % was 4.8. Comparison in post test percentage of knowledge in experimental group the knowledge score was 34.17 whereas in control group the knowledge score was 3.79. The overall mean post test knowledge score of mothers in the experimental group was significantly higher than the pre test knowledge score of mothers the paired t test value was t = 25 for knowledge. The paired test and chi square shows that three was significant association between pre test and post test knowledge score in the experimental and control group of mothers with their demographic variables like age of mother, education religion die try pattern, No. of. Pregnancy type of family, antenatal visit, weeks of gestation source of information. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSION The findings of this study was the need of obstetric nurse to conduct training programme to the mothers coming to the antenatal visit to increase the knowledge of mother regarding prevention of TORCH infection. This study has proved that mothers gained their knowledge regarding prevention of TORCH infection the level remarkably when compared to their previous knowledge prior to the administration of STP. Thus in the future there is need to improve their knowledge by conducting the training programme for prevention of “TORCH” infection. Among antenatal mothers during pregnancy.
