Quasi Experimental Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme regarding non Compliance of Drug among Middle Adulthood at Rajpuramafi of Bareilly U.P.

A quasi experimental study to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme regarding non compliance of drug among middle adulthood at Rajpuramafi of Bareilly U.P. The study was aimed to assess the pre test knowledge regarding non compliance of drugs among middle adulthood. The research approach was quantitative with one group pre-test post-test design.30 samples were selected by convenience sampling technique. Data collection was done by a self administered structured knowledge questionnaire and Planned teaching Programme was used for data collection. The major findings of the study showed that the mean post-test knowledge scores (23.73) of middle adulthood regarding non compliance of drugs was higher than their mean pre-test knowledge scores (25) with a mean % difference of (22.1%). The standard deviation of post-test knowledge scores (3.0050) is lower than the standard deviation of pre-test (4.1701) knowledge score. This indicates that there is gain in knowledge in all middle adulthood. The ?t?-value (6.4292) shows that the difference obtained in the pretest and the post-test knowledge scores was a true difference and not by chance. Hence the research hypothesis H1 is accepted; this indicated that the STP developed on non compliance of drugs among middle adulthood was effective in increasing the knowledge of middle adulthood. No significant association between pre-test knowledge scores and demographic variables. The conclusion was drawn from the findings of the study that the STP was effective in enhancing the knowledge of middle adulthood on non compliance of drugs.
