Background: Dengue fever is the most critical mosquito-borne disease in the world caused by one of any of four serotypes of dengue virus. There has been a 30-fold increase in global incidence over the past fifty years. Epidemics of dengue result in human suffering, strained health services and massive economic losses.Methods: Quasi experimental one group pre-test-post-test research design was adopted to conduct the study among forty adults aged between twenty to 40 years residing in Janta Nagri, Urban slum, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, who matched the inclusion criteria were selected through non-probability purposive sampling technique. On day one pre-test followed by planned teaching programme was conducted and after seventh day post-test was taken. The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: The results revealed that the mean post-test knowledge score was higher than mean pre-test knowledge score with standard deviation 20.15±4.02 and 7.67±3.11 respectively. The improvement of knowledge score is the mean difference of 12.5 which shows that there was a significant change in knowledge level of adult population.Conclusions: The study concluded that the planned teaching programme was effective in improving the level of knowledge regarding dengue fever and its preventive measures.

Background: Dengue is a very significant world public health problem which has largely been ignored in the developed world. Objectives : To find out the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge of school going children regarding dengue fever and find the association between posttest knowledge scores with their selected demographical variable. Methods: Data were collected from fifty school going children selected through simple random sampling technique, by using self-structured questionnaire from 17.4.2017 to 2.5.2017. Results: Highest percentages (50%) of the school children were in 11-12 years of age group. 56% of them were female. 62% of them were studying in sixth class. The overall pre-test mean knowledge score was 10.02±4.04 which was 29.47% of the total score whereas in post-test it was 25.24 ± 5.00 which was 74.23% and effectiveness was 44.76%. Further highly significant (p<0.05) difference was found between pre and post-test knowledge score whereas no significant (p<0.05) association was found between post-test knowledge score and all the selected demographic variable of the school going children revealing effectiveness of planned teaching programme. Conclusion: Findings of the study revealed that the knowledge of the school going children regarding dengue fever and its prevention were less before the introduction of PTP. Hence it can be concluded that PTP was an effective strategy for providing information and to improve knowledge of school going children regarding dengue fever. and this PTP can be utilized in creating awareness programme in prevention and control of dengue fever.
