A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regarding Prevention of Respiratory Problems among Petrol Pump Workers in Selected Petrol Pumps at Gonda

A study to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention of respiratory problems among petrol pump workers in selected petrol pumps at Gonda” the objectives of the study are to assess the pretest knowledge regarding prevention of respiratory problems, to assess the post test knowledge regarding prevention of respiratory problems, to compare the pretest and post test knowledge scores regarding prevention of respiratory problems, to find the significant difference between pretest and post test knowledge scores regarding prevention of respiratory problems, and to find the significant association between pretest knowledge scores regarding prevention of respiratory problems among petrol pump workers in selected petrol pumps at Gonda and the selected socio demographic variables. In order to accomplish the objectives of the study, a pre experimental one group pretest post test design was adopted. In this study, the sample consists of 50 petrol pump workers who fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the study. The non probability purposive sampling technique was used for this study. A structured socio demographic data and knowledge questionnaire on respiratory problems were selected on the basis of the objectives of the study. The instrument selected in a research should be as far as possible the vehicle that would best obtain data for drawing conclusions, which were pertinent to the study. The tools are prepared in three sections. Section A was socio demographic data, and the Section –B was knowledge questionnaire on respiratory problems. For the main study the data collected from 03 01 2019 to 28 01 2019 from petrol pump workers who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The study concluded that In pretest 11 22 samples were having adequate knowledge regarding respiratory problems. Whereus in posttest 33 66 samples were having adequate posttest knowledge regarding respiratory problems. There was significant difference between pretest and posttest knowledge scores as the t value is higher than the tabulated value in the p value 0.05 level of significance. It shows that there is a significant effectiveness on the administration of structured teaching programme. Therefore, the H1 hypothesis is accepted. The chi square table explains that there is a significant association between socio demographic variables such as age in years, gender, educational status, number of duty hours per day, knowledge on respiratory problems as the chi square value is higher than the tabulated value at 0.05 level of significance p 0.05 . Therefore, the H2 is accepted.
