Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Program on Knowledge regarding Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures among Community People in Selected Rural Areas. A Quasi-Experimental Study
Abstract: Aim of the study: The study aims to find Effectiveness of planned teaching program on knowledge regarding psychogenic non-epileptic seizures among community people in selected rural areas. Objectives of study: Primary objectives: 1) To assess the effectiveness of planned teaching program on knowledge regarding psychogenic non-epileptic seizures among community people in selected rural areas. Secondary objectives: 2) To assess the existing knowledge regarding psychogenic nonepileptic seizures among community people in selected rural area. 3) To find out the association between post-test knowledge score with their selected demographic variables. Method: One group pre -test post -test research design and based on quantitative approach carried out on 90 community people selected by non-probability convenient sampling technique. Results: The presents study evaluates and found that demographic variables, The study reveals that pre- test 20 (22.22%) were poor level of knowledge, 25(27.78%) had average level of knowledge, 25(27.78%) were good level of knowledge, 19 (21.11%) had very good level of knowledge and 1(1.11%) had excellent knowledge. Minimum score was 9 and maximum score 21. Mean knowledge score 4.8±1.863 and mean percentage score was 23.5±9.315 and post- test 05 (5.56%) had poor level of knowledge, and 05(5.56%) had average level of knowledge and 6(6.67%) had good level of knowledge,24(26.67%) had very good level of knowledge and 50(55.56%) had excellent knowledge. Minimum score was 14 and maximum score 25. Mean knowledge score 17.22±1.117 and mean percentage score was 45.12±5.585. Interpretation and conclusion: Mean, standard deviation and mean difference values are compared and student?s paired ?t? test is applied at 5% level of significance. The tabulated value for n = 90 i.e., 89 degrees of freedom. The calculated ?t? value i.e., 53.692 are much higher than the tabulated value at 5% level of significance for overall knowledge score of population which is statistically acceptable level of significance. Hence it is statistically interpreted that the knowledge score in pre and posttest of regarding psychogenic non-epileptic seizures among community people in selected rural area.
