Abstract
“A study to assess the effectiveness of concentration enhancement therapy on concentration among school age children in selected schools at Nagercoil” was done by Miss. R. Sujatha kannan as a partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of Science in Nursing at Sri. K. Ramachandran Naidu College of nursing, Tirunelveli under the Tamil Nadu Dr. M. G. R. Medical University, Chennai during the year September 2015. The objectives of the study were: 1. To assess the pre test and post test level of concentration among school age children in experimental group and control group. 2. To find out the effectiveness of concentration enhancement therapy on concentration among school age children in the experimental group. 3. To compare the pre test and post test level of concentration among school age children in experimental group. 4. To associate the post test level of concentration among school age children with their selected demographic variables in experimental and control group. The following hypotheses were formed for the study: All hypotheses are tested at 0.05 levels. H1: The mean post test level of concentration among school age children in experimental group will be significantly higher than the mean post test level of concentration in the control group. H2:The mean post test level of concentration among school age children in the experimental group will be significantly higher than their mean pre test level of concentration. H3: There will be a significant association between the post test level of concentration among school age children in experimental group and control group with their selected demographic variables. The study was based on theImogene King’s Goal Attainment Theory. The quantitative approach was used for this study. The study was conducted in St.Xavier,St.Francises, little flower and PunithaAlosious primary Schools at Nagercoil. The design adopted for this study was true experimental design to evaluate the effectiveness of concentration enhancement therapy on concentration among school age children. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 30 samples for control group from little flower and PunithaAlosious primary schools in Nagercoil and the same method was used to select 30 samples for experimental group from St.Xavier and St.Francises primary schools in Nagercoil. The data collection tool used for the study was Modified Raven’s assessment scale. The content validity of the tool was obtained from four nursing experts and medical experts in the field of pediatrics and psychiatry. The reliability of the tool(r=0.89) was established by test re test method by using Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient formula. The tool was accepted as reliable by the clinical experts. Pilot study was conducted to find out the feasibility and the data analysis was done. Data collection was done by using the Raven’s assessment scale and the data obtained were analyzed both in terms of descriptive and inferential statistics. The major findings of the study were: 1. In experimental group the post test mean value of concentration was 121.3 with the standard deviation of 30.32. In control group the post test mean value of concentration was 96.6 with the standard deviation of 26.5. The calculated‘t’ test value was 3.388. 2. In experimental group, the pre test mean value of concentration was 80.16 with the standard deviation of 19.10 and post test and the mean value was 121.3 with the standard deviation of 30.32. The mean difference was 41.16. The calculated‘t’ test value was 6.291. 3. There was significant association between the post test level of concentration among school age children in the experimental group with their demographic variables such as number of children in family.There was no significant association between the post test level of concentration among school age children such as age, gender, religion, area of residence, type of family, birth order, educational status of father, educational status of mother, occupational status of father, occupational status of mother, family income and the child residence. 4. There was no significant association between the post test level of concentration among school age children in the control group with their selected demographic variables such as age, gender, religion, area of residence, type of family, birth order,number of children in family, educational status of father, educational status of mother, occupational status of father, occupational status of mother, family income and the child residence. On the basis of the findings of the study, it is recommended that: The following studies can be undertaken to strengthen concentration enhancement therapy as a good remedy for concentration among school age children.
