Abstract

A pre-experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme on knowledge and practice of informal caregivers of under-five children regarding Prevention of Nutritional Anaemia in Guniawala village of Uttrakhand. Total 55 informal caregivers who met inclusion criteria were selected purposively for the study. The pre-test was taken by using structured knowledge questionnaire and self report practice checklist designed by researcher and validated by various experts in specific field followed by Planned Teaching Programme and after 7 days post-test was taken. The mean post test knowledge score (17.14?1.70) was higher than the mean pretest knowledge score (10.29?2.10) and ?t? value was 18.75. The mean post test practice score (23.87 ? 1.36) was slightly higher than the mean pretest practice score (23.78 ? 1.54) and ?t? value was 0.32. This shows that the planned teaching programme was found to be effective in increasing knowledge whereas continuous reinforcement was necessary to bring about significant change in the practice of informal caregivers.
