PROBLEM STATEMENT
“Effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding eating disorder
among adolescents (16-18yrs) in selected junior colleges.”
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1) To assess the level of pretest knowledge regarding eating disorder among adolescents.
2) To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding eating disorder among adolescents.
3) To determine the association between pretest knowledge score with their selected
demographic variables.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The research approach adopted in this study is quantitative approach. Pre- experimental research design one group pre test post test design was chosen for the study. The sample were selected conveniently to suit the study. Sample size was 60.
RESULT
The data was analyzed by using inferential and descriptive statistics on the basis of objectives.
SECTION –I DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLE
• The adolescents with respect to age 21(35%) were of age 16 years, 16(27%) were of age 17 years and 23(38%) were of age 18 years.
• Gender 31(52%) were male and 29(48%) were females.
• Class/ standard 28(47%) were in 11th and 32(53%) were in 12th standard.
• Religion 26(43%) were Hindu, 12(20%) were Muslims, 8(13%) were Christians and 14(23%) were from other religion.
• Family 27(45%) were from joint family and 33(55%) were from nuclear family.
• With respect to monthly income of family 14(23%) had income below Rs.10000, 24(40%) had
income between Rs.10001 to Rs, 15000, and 22(37%) had income above Rs.20001.
• Dietary patten 22(37%) were vegetarian and 38(63%) were non vegetarian.
• Food habits 21(35%) had junk food and 39(65%) had home made food.
• Family history of eating disorder 11(18%) had family history of eating disorder and 49(82%)
had no family history of eating disorder.
The first objective was to assess the level of pretest knowledge regarding eating disorder
among adolescents.
• The study reveals that in pre-test 43(71%) had poor knowledge, 10(17%) had average
knowledge and 7(12%) had good knowledge.
The second objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding eating disorder among adolescents.
• The study reveals that in post-test 2(3%) had poor knowledge, 21(35%) had average
knowledge and 37(62%) had good knowledge.
• Table 8: showed that mean pretest and post-test knowledge scores of adolescents
regarding eating disorder were 6.83 (SD + 1.91) and 9.82 ( SD + 2.12 ) respectively. The
table ‘t’ value is 1.98 and the calculated ‘t’ value is 6.44, which was significant at 0.05
level . From the findings, it was clear that the adolescents gained knowledge after
implementing structured teaching programme. Therefore H1 was accepted.
The third objective was to determine the association between pretest knowledge score
with their selected demographic variables.
Table (9) Chi – square values were calculated to find out the association between
knowledge of adolescents none of demographic variables had association with knowledge
regarding eating disorders. Therefore H2 was rejected.
