Abstract

Statment Problem:

“A Study To Assess The Effectiveness Of Structured Teaching Programme On Knowledge Regarding Protein Energy Malnutrition [PEM] Among The Mother’s Of Under Five Children At Selected Rural Area In Anand District.’’

Objectives of the Study:

1. To assess pre existing knowledge of selected Mother’s Of Under Five Children regarding  Protein Energy Malnutrition.

2. To evaluate the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on knowledge regarding Protein Energy Malnutrition.

3. To find out an association between pre-test knowledge scores with their selected demographic variables.

Operational Definition:

A] Effectiveness: “In this study the effectiveness means to the knowledge gain by the mother’s after giving knowledge through structured teaching program regarding the Protein Energy Malnutrition.â€

B] Structured Teaching Program: “Structured teaching program refers to self contained written material which be used to teach the mother’s.â€

C] Protein Energy Malnutrition: “In this study it means, Lack of proper nutrition, caused by not having enough to eat, not eating enough of the right things, or being unable to use the food that one does eat.â€

D] ASSESS: “Measure the knowledge regarding Protein Energy Malnutrition among The Mother’s of fewer than Five Childrenâ€

F] Knowledge: “In this study knowledge means the information and understanding , of the mother’s regarding PEM.â€

 

 

Hypothesis:

H₁:-There will be a significant difference between pretest & post test knowledge score     among the mother’s of under five children.

H₂:- There will be a significant association between the pre-test knowledge score with  their selected demographic variables.

Assumption:

(1) Mothers: May have some knowledge regarding PEM.
