Background: In India, Integrated Child Development Services were first implemented in October 1975. Integrated Child Development Services are provided in Anganwadi Centers through the Anganwadi Workers. Anganwadi Worker’s knowledge about ICDS is directly linked to the ultimate outcome of the ICDS scheme. Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme in terms of knowledge regarding ICDS among Anganwadi Workers.
Materials and methods: A Pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was adopted in quantitative approach. A total of 100 AWWs working in ICDS-Prem Nagar Project were selected using total enumerative sampling technique. Data was collected through structured knowledge questionnaire (KR20 - 0.8) in June-2022. On Day-1, Pre-test followed by Structured Teaching Programme on ICDS was administered. On Day-7, Post-test was conducted.
Results: Pre-test study results showed that only 3% AWWs had excellent knowledge, 45% had good knowledge, 40% had average knowledge and 12% had below average knowledge regarding ICDS. After intervention, Post-test scores improved significantly. Pre-test mean+SD was 16.82+4.085 and Post-test mean+SD was 24.29+3.586.The mean post-test knowledge score was higher than the mean pre-test score with mean difference of 7.47, which was found to be statistically significant (Z= 13.739) at p<0.05.No significant association was found between the pre-test knowledge level of the AWWs and selected socio-demographic variables at p<0.05.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study it can be concluded that structured teaching programme on ICDS was significantly effective in enhancing the knowledge among Anganwadi workers.
