The importance of water is known to one and all. Despite water being the basic human need. Water is one of the precious natural resources each and every living being need to survive. The aim of this study was to access the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding water conservation methods among the students of selected colleges at Mangaluru, Karanataka, India. A Quasi Experimental one group pre-test and post-test design was adopted to conduct this study. By using simple random sampling 120 college students were selected from the selected college of Mangaluru. Structured knowledge questionaries were used to collect the data after obtaining the written consent. AStructured teaching program was administered after pre- test and then set of post-test questionnaire was given after 7 days. Result showed that, majority i.e.,73.3% of samples had moderate, 25.5% had inadequate knowledge in pre-test, where as in post-test majority of the samples that is 48.3% had moderate knowledge, 42.5% had adequate knowledge regarding water conservation methods. The mean knowledge score in pre-test computed was 7.88±2.48 and in post-test 12.17 ± 3.87, which showed marked increase (4.29) in mean value. The calculated paired 't' test value was 9.84, (t (119) = 1.66 at p ≤ 0.05 signicance level) which showed signicant difference between pre-test and post-test level of knowledge regarding on water conservation methods and structured teaching programme was effective in signicant increasing the knowledge of college students. Result also 2 revealed that there is signicant association with pre-test knowledge score and age in year, type of family (4.52, 5.82.x = 3.84 at p ≤ 0.05 (1) signicance level). The study concluded that, there is requirement of large group mobilization towards water conservation methods. Further study can be conducted through mass communication in assessment of awareness, practice and attitude of different group of people in the communities regarding water conservation and its importance.

Structured knowledge questionnaire was used to collect the data and followed by administrating the structured teaching programme (STP).Results: Findings of the present study showed that the mean post test score (25.80±3.0) was higher than pre-test mean score (13.18±3.3). Arbitrary score reviled that, in pre-test majority of the (undergraduate) UG students had (60.65%) Average knowledge, most of the UG students had (36.06%) poor knowledge, only (3.27%) had the good level of knowledge. Where in post-test, maximum students had very good knowledge (62.92%), most UG students had 36.06% good knowledge and only 1.63% had average knowledge which showed that the knowledge had increased after administration of (STP), Calculated t value was 19.327 and found highly significant at p<0.001.Conclusions: The findings of the study revealed that STP was an effective method to enhance the knowledge of undergraduate students regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Abstract Introduction: Plastic is everywhere in today's lifestyle. It is used for packaging, protecting, serving, and even disposing of all kinds of consumer goods. Improper plastic disposal has become a leading problem in both developed and developing countries. As plastic is non-biodegradable in nature, it remains in environment for several years and disposing plastic wastes at landfill are unsafe and has led to various health problems. So researcher felt it is vital that adults should possess knowledge on hazards of plastic wastes and its disposal. Method: In this study cross sectional descriptive survey was used. Adults were selected through probability simple random sampling. The data was collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. The structured-teaching programme was administered at the end of the pre-test. The post-test was carried out after 7 days, using the same tool as the pre-test. The data was analysed using SPSS version 16 and the results expressed as proportions. Results: A total of 100 adults were included in the study. Analysis of data revealed pre-test knowledge score was 42.52%.Considering the level of knowledge of adults, a structured teaching programme was administered. The post-test knowledge score was 80.48%. Hence comparison in pre-test knowledge score and post-test percentage of hazards of plastic waste and its disposal was approximately 37.96%. A significant association between source of information and post-test knowledge was found. Conclusion: A significant number of adults had inadequate knowledge. So researcher felt that awareness programmes regarding hazards of plastic waste and its disposal should be emphasized.

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.

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.
