Abstract

A quasi experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding selected home remedies for dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. The sample for the study consisted of 60 adolescent girls (30 in experimental group and 30 in control group). Subjects in experimental group were given sampling teaching with structured teaching programme as per planned schedule whereas control group does not receive any intervention. Assessment of the adolescent girls in both groups was done at the end of 7th day. Data was collected by using questionnaire to assess the demographic information and knowledge regarding home remedies. Analysis was done using both descriptive and inferential statistics.In control group mean pre test knowledge score was 14.20 and post test knowledge score was 15.23. In experimental group, mean pre test knowledge score was 14.43 and mean post test knowledge score was 29.17. The difference between mean pre test and post test knowledge score of experimental group was statistically highly significant at p>0.001 level. Thus structured teaching is an effective tool in improving the knowledge of adolescent girls regarding home remedies for dysmenorrhea.
