ABSTRACT:
Dengue fever is a highly contagious viral illness transmitted by mosquitoes. The incidence of the mosquito-borne illness has risen in recent decades. The World Health Organization states that Dengue virus infection is a rising health issue globally due to higher mortality and morbidity rates, and it is currently endemic in more than 100 nations. The goal of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of a structured teaching program on students' knowledge about dengue fever. A conceptual framework was created using the Health Belief Model. A structured lesson plan focusing on dengue fever was formulated, and its content validity was confirmed by nursing experts. The internal consistency of the knowledge questionnaire (r-0.8) was evaluated using the split-half method. The initial knowledge level was evaluated, and a structured teaching program was implemented. The evaluation of knowledge level was conducted right after the teaching session. Data was gathered from the 50 chosen samples using a structured knowledge questionnaire. Results indicated that in the pre-test, the majority of subjects (44%) exhibited average knowledge, 30% demonstrated average knowledge, and 24% showed below-average knowledge, while merely 2% displayed excellent knowledge. After conducting a post-test on the subjects, results indicated that most participants, specifically 38%, demonstrated a good level of knowledge, 36% exhibited an excellent level, 18% had an average level, while only 8% showed a below-average level of understanding concerning dengue fever.
