Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the common gastrointestinal complaints presented in developing and developed countries. Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma are the major complications of GERD. A Quantitative research approach, pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was used to conduct the study to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding the management and prevention of complications of Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) among patients with GERD. A total of 60 Samples were selected by non-probability purposive sampling technique. A pretest was done using a semi-structured questionnaire, followed by which, a structured teaching programme was provided. A post-test using a same semi-structured questionnaire was given to the same samples. Before STP, 76.7% of the subjects had an inadequate level of knowledge score, and none of them had an adequate level of knowledge score. But after the pedagogical way of effective STP, none of the patients had an inadequate level of knowledge score, 16.7% of them had moderate and 83.3% of them had an adequate level of knowledge score. Elder and graduated subjects were significantly associated with their post-test level of knowledge score regarding management and prevention of complications of GERD. The study proved that STP was immensely effective for the patients with GERD (c2=58.00 at P=0.001 level of significance) attending the Gastroenterology outpatient department at RGGGH, Chennai.

Introduction: Tuberculosis is one of the most prominent mycobacterium diseases known to humankind. Increasing cases world-wide led to the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring a global Emergency in April 1993. Despite the availability of „tools‟ for controlling TB, programs have been unable to sustain high cure rate. As a consequence of this, and the increasing problems of drug resistance, the International community, through the WHO, has developed and launched the Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) strategy. Directly Observed Treatment, Short course chemotherapy is a strategy to ensure cure by providing the most effective medicine and confirming that it is taken. It is the only strategy which has been documented to be effective Worldwide on a program basis. Design: A quantitative approach using pre-experimental pre-test post-test design with one group. Participants: 50 Staff Nurses were selected using Non-Probability purposive sampling technique in Mehsana District. Interventions: Structured teaching was given to the Staff Nurses. Tool: Self Structured Questionnaire was used to assess the level of Knowledge regarding tuberculosis and dots therapy among staff nurses. Results: The research study shows that in pre test (20%) of sample had a poor knowledge (score 1-10) regarding knowledge about tuberculosis and dots therapy, while average knowledge (score 11-20) was observed in 46% of the sample and (34%) of sample having good (20-41) knowledge score. And in the post test (0%) of sample had a poor knowledge (score 1-10) regarding knowledge about tuberculosis and dots therapy, while average knowledge (score 11-20) was observed in (18%) of the sample and (82%) of sample having good (20-41) knowledge score. And the comparison between pre test and post test observation score regarding knowledge of tuberculosis and dots therapy. The mean pre test observation score was 16.4 and the mean post test score was the 23, and the Standard Deviation was 5.64 in pre test and 7.67 in post test score, also the calculated “t”value was 4.20 was greater than the table value at 0.05 level of significance. The structured teaching was effective in increasing the Knowledge regarding tuberculosis and dots therapy among staff nurses.
