A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Self Instructional Module (SIM) on Knowledge and Attitude Regarding Breast Cancer Among Late Adolescents Studying in Selected Degree Colleges at Dharwad, Karnataka

Background Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer in women. The knowledge and attitude of breast cancer is poor among adolescents. The present study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude among late adolescents on breast cancer to develop self-instruction module and to determine effectiveness of self instruction module in improving the knowledge and attitude.Methods A evaluatory approach using one group pre-test post-test design was adopted. A sample of 335 adolescents was selected using purposive sampling technique from the selected degree colleges of Dharwad. The designed tool showed content validity index of 0.89 reliability ofnbsp knowledge 0.90 and attitude 0.88. The pretest was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude among late adolescents regarding breast cancer using a designed tool following which self-instruction module was administered. Following this post-test was conducted after thirty days using the same designed tool and the data was collected in the form of scores. The obtained scores were tabulated and computed using SPSS 20.0 version software for statistic analysis.Results The study found that mean pretest knowledge and attitude scores were less than mean post-test knowledge and attitude scores and mean enhancement in knowledge and attitude was 41.46 and 47.25 respectively. The study revealed the effectiveness of the self-instruction module on knowledge and attitude scores to be 33.54 and 29.95 for 334 degrees of freedom with P lt0.001.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Self-Instructional Module on FirstAid Management of Paediatric Emergencies among Mothers of Under Five Children in Community Areas of Bhopal District

First aid is the temporary and immediate care given to the person who is injured or suddenly became ill. First aid can save a victim’s life especially if the victim is bleeding heavily and has stopped breathing. The aim of first aid to preserve life, promote recovery, and prevent worsening of the victim’s general condition and quick transport of the casualty to the nearest medical aid if required. Accidents are the largest single cause of death after the age of one year and are the most serious health problems facing the world today. Mother’s knowledge and practice are relevant variables and are considered to be important factors in planning an educational programme for first aid in paediatric emergencies. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of self-instructional module (SIM) on first aid management of paediatric emergencies among mothers of under five children in community areas of Bhopal district by quasi experimental setup. Cluster sampling technique will be used for selecting the sample.

Effect of a Self-instructional Module on Clinical Nurses’ Knowledge and Practice Regarding Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Post-operative Patients

Abstract This pre-experimental study was done to assess the effect of a self-instructional module on clinical nurses’ knowledge and practice regarding the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in post-operative patients. The sample consists of 30 clinical nurses working in post-operative ICUs selected by purposive sampling technique. The tools used were a self-administered structured questionnaire on socio-demographic data and knowledge and an observation checklist on practice regarding the prevention of VTE. The study findings revealed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test knowledge and practice scores as the mean knowledge score of the post-test (16.93 ± 2.82) is higher than the pre-test score (13.70 ± 3.35) and the mean practice score of post-test (3.06 ± 1.17) is higher than the pre-test score (2.16 ± 0.74). There was a weak positive correlation between knowledge and practice scores (r = 0.08). The study findings also showed that there was no significant association between the pre-test level of knowledge and practice with selected demographic variables such as age, gender, qualification, total years of experience, previous knowledge on VTE and source of information. It can be concluded that the self-instructional module is effective in improving the knowledge and practice of clinical nurses in the prevention of VTE.

Effect of self-instructional module towards the prevention of cataract among elderly people in India.

The leading cause of blindness in the world is cataracts, which are dangerous and curable with proper eye care. Eye care service is thought to play significant role in prevention. Nonetheless, not much research has been done to gauge older persons' in rural India's level of cataract awareness and how it relates to their use of eye care services. Therefore, in order to prevent cataracts in the elderly, we described a self-instruction model for cataract knowledge and looked into the variations between pre- and post-test self-instruction models. Their demographic characteristics showed that the higher age group female had highest prevalence of cataracts. The study population's understanding of cataracts is incredibly low: only 2% of participants have adequate knowledge, 52% have somewhat adequate information, and 46% have inadequate knowledge. However, after completing the self-instructional module, 54% of participants felt they knew enough to prevent cataracts. The results of the study showed that the self-instructional module was very helpful in helping the senior population learn about cataract prevention. More interventional research with a larger sample size should be carried out to gain a better understanding of cataract prevention in older adults,.

Effectiveness of Self-Instructional Module on knowledge regarding High-Risk Pregnancy among Antenatal mothers

A high-risk pregnancy is one in which there is or will be an increased risk of morbidity or mortality for the mother, the fetus, or the baby before or after delivery. Between 20–30% of pregnancies in India are high-risk. Consequently, the purpose of the current study is to evaluate the impact of a self-instruction module on prenatal mothers' understanding about high-risk pregnancies.

Result: revealed that majority of the respondents (65.08%) had poor knowledge regarding high-risk pregnancy, (30.16%) had average knowledge and only (4.76%) had good level of knowledgepre-test. Whereas in post-test majority of the respondents (82.53%) had good knowledge and (17.46%) had average knowledge regarding high-risk pregnancy. The Paired‘t’ test value was 26.86 whichwas greater than table value at .05 level of significance. This shows that there is significant difference between the pre-test and post-test level of knowledge regardinghigh-risk pregnancyamong antenatal mothers. There was significant association found between the pre-test knowledge score regarding high-risk pregnancy among antenatal mothers with demographic variableslike educational status, type of family, previous knowledge and source of information regarding high-risk pregnancy.
