Abstract :

A quasi experimental study was conducted to assess the effect of structured teaching programme on the level of knowledge regarding poly cystic ovarian disease among students in a selected college of nursing, Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu. The objectives were to assess the pre & post test knowledge on poly cystic ovarian disease to evaluate the effect of structured teaching programme and also to associate the pre test level of knowledge regarding poly cystic ovarian disease among students with the selected demographic variables. Simple random sampling technique was used and 40 students were selected for the study. Structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge on poly cystic ovarian disease. The result revealed that the overall post test mean regarding knowledge on poly cystic ovarian disease (20) is higher than the pretest mean (19) and the standard deviation of the pretest &post test knowledge level on 3.71&7.61. After the structured teaching programme the paired�t� value was 12.59 with the p<0.005 which was highly significant. Therefore the study concluded that there is an improvement in knowledge on Poly cystic ovarian disease among the students after the structured teaching programme.
