Formal written permission was obtained from the medical officer in SMC Palayam, Primary Health Centre. Data was collected by administering the structured questionnaire before and after the planned teaching programme. The post- test was conducted after the sixth day of planned teaching programme. Data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Paired ‘t’ test was used to find the effectiveness of planned teaching programme and ‘Chi-Square’ was used to find the association.
