The use of effective nursing interventions for the management of Alzheimer's disease can help student nurses promote independence and quality of life for Alzheimer's disease patients. Thus this study is under taken to assess the effectiveness of the self instructional module (SIM) on nursing management of client with Alzheimer's disease among 4th year B. Sc. (N) students.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A quantitative evaluative research approach with pre experimental one group pre test and post test research design & non probability purposive sampling technique was used to select the 60 samples of B.Sc. (N) 4th year students. Self administered structured knowledge questionnaire were used to collect the information from the study samples. The prepared tool was validated by the experts and the reliability was established. The study was conducted in R.V. College of Nursing and Vidyakirana Institute of Nursing Sciences, Bangalore. The data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 19.RESULTS: Findings of the study shown that, the overall mean percentage pre test level of knowledge of B.Sc. Nursing 4th year studentswas 62.08%, and the pre test knowledge score was 35(58.33%) respondents were having moderately adequate knowledge, 13(21.67%) had inadequate knowledge and 12(20%) were having adequate knowledge regarding nursing management of clients with Alzheimer's disease. In the post test overall mean percentage post test level of knowledge was 84.37%. The post test knowledge score was 54(90%) respondents were having adequate knowledge and 06(10%) had moderately adequate knowledge after the administration of SIM. The overall obtained ''t'' value of knowledge 15.6 is highly significant at P< 0.01 level. The obtained chi-square value showed significant association between the pre test level of knowledge and certain socio demographical variables; gender (χ2 =5.12, df =1, p<0.05) and sources of information (χ2 =4.82, df=1, p<0.05). However, it did not show any significant association with other demographic variables of 4th Year B. Sc. (N) students.CONCLUSION: Findings of the study showed that majority of the student nurses were moderately adequate knowledge before administering the SIM. The SIM facilitated them to gain more knowledge regarding nursing management of client's with Alzheimer's disease which was evident in post test knowledge scores. Hence SIM was an effective strategy for providing information and to improve knowledge of students' nurses.Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2016)Vol.04 No.02 Issue 14, page: 25-29

Objectives To assess the pretest level of knowledge regarding prevention of osteoporosis among premenopausal women in experimental group and control group. To determine the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on prevention of osteoporosis in experimental group. To find out the association between knowledge regarding prevention of osteoporosis and selected demographics variables of the premenopausal women. Review of literature was prepared relevant to the study. The conceptual framework of the study was based on “Kenny’s open system model. Pilot study was done among patients in general medicine OPD in a selected hospital, Raipur. The main study was conducted in Orthopedics and Obstetrics & Gynecology OPDs in a selected hospital, Raipur. A total of 90 patients included in the study and they were selected using convenient sampling. The instrument used for data collection was structured knowledge questionnaire. Validity and reliability of the tool was done. Data was collected for the period of 4 weeks. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. It was observed in present study that majority (70%) of the total sample in experimental and control group had inadequate level of knowledge regarding prevention of Osteoporosis. And it was observed that the mean post test score of experimental group with standard deviation was 19.98±3.02 which was apparently higher than that of post test score of control group 14.11±4.74. Statistical differences were computed and the independent t value is 7.003 which was found significant at 0.05. Hence, Structured Teaching Programme was effective on knowledge regarding prevention of Osteoporosis. The study findings also shows that the association between knowledge score and educational status (ᵡ2=9.511, P=0.05), religion (ᵡ2=7.053, P=0.05) and previous knowledge (ᵡ2=46.44, P=0.05) were highly significant. Hence there was a significant association between pre-test knowledge and selected demographic variables of premenopausal women such as age, gender, education, income, religion, marital status, dietary pattern, age of menarche, age of marriage and previous knowledge. Key words: Structured Teaching Programme, Knowledge, Prevention of Osteoporosis, Premenopausal Women, Effectiveness.
