Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme Regarding Post Operative Care on Knowledge and Practice among Caregivers of the Children with Anorectal Malformation at Department of Paediatric

Background Anorectal malformations are a complex group of congenital anomalies involving the distal anus and rectum, as well as the urinary and genital tracts in a significant number of cases. Most anorectal malformations result are malfunction of the urorectal septum in early fetal life. Objectives 1. To assess the knowledge and practice score regarding post operative care among caregivers of the children with anorectal malformation before and after administration of structured teaching programme. 2. To compare the knowledge and practice score regarding post operative care among caregivers of the children with anorectal malformation before and after administration of structure teaching programme. 3. To find out the association in knowledge and practice scores regarding post operative care among caregivers of the children with anorectal malformation and their selected demographic variables before the administration of structured teaching programme. Method In this study the research approach was quasi experimental one group pre test post test design was applied. Total 60 samples selected by purposive sampling technique. The intervention Structured Teaching Programme was introduced to the group after the pre test. Knowledge was assessed by self structured questionnaire and practice assessed by observation checklist tool before and after the intervention. Results The result revealed that mean pre test score of knowledge was 11.02±2.53 which was increased to 18.87±3.55. The mean difference was 7.85. The obtained 7.85±2.23‘t' value 27.256 was statistically highly significant at p 0.001 level. And mean pre test score of practice was 4.32±0.97 which was increased to 8.73±1.15. The mean difference was 4.42. The obtained 4.42±0.85‘t' value 40.270 was statistically highly significant at p 0. 001 level. The null hypothesis H0 is rejected and research hypothesis is accepted. Conclusion The study concluded that, structured teaching programme about the post operative care of anorectal malformation should be implemented to improve the knowledge and practice among the caregivers of the children with anorectal malformation and prevents complication.
