In the Post test experimental group, mean score was 18.97 ±2.83 whereas the same in control group was 8.33 ±1.78. P value is 0.05. The calculated t value 17.48was compared with the tabulated value 2.01. In post test experimental group caregiver have, 60 mild anxiety, 26.7 no anxiety, 6.6 moderate anxiety and 6.6 severe anxiety. Post test mean in experimental group was 47.6 ± 8.12 whereas the same in control group was 62.53 ± 2.08. P value is 0.05. The calculated t value 9.75 was compared with the tabulated value 2.01.
