Effectiveness of Computer Assisted Teaching Module on Knowledge Regarding Polycystic Ovarian Disease and Lifestyle Modification Among Late Adolescent Girls
Abstract: Background: Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting adolescent girls. Increasing prevalence of PCOD is associated with sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy dietary habits, stress, and hormonal imbalance. Lack of awareness among adolescents leads to delayed diagnosis and increased risk of complications such as infertility, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases. Health education through Computer Assisted Teaching Module can improve awareness and promote lifestyle modification. Methods: A pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was adopted for the study. The study was conducted among 60 late adolescent girls aged 17-21 years in a selected college. Convenient sampling technique was used to select participants. Structured knowledge questionnaire was used for data collection. Computer Assisted Teaching Module was administered after pre-test and post-test was conducted after intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The mean pre-test knowledge score was 13.88 and the mean post-test knowledge score increased to 24.12 indicating improvement in knowledge level. The calculated paired t-test value was 12.45 which was statistically significant at 0.05 level. The findings revealed that Computer Assisted Teaching Module was effective in improving knowledge regarding PCOD and lifestyle modification. Conclusion: The study concluded that Computer Assisted Teaching Module significantly improved knowledge among late adolescent girls. The study recommends implementation of regular health education programmes to prevent PCOD and its complications.
