ABSTRACT:
A quantitative research approach with a pre-experimental one group pretest- posttest design was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme (STP) on knowledge regarding cervical cancer among girls in a selected college, Kottayam. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire on cervical cancer. The results revealed that the mean pretest knowledge score was 13.45 while the mean posttest knowledge score was 19.05. The significant mean difference of 5.6 (p<0.05) indicates that the STP was effective in enhancing the girl's knowledge about cervical cancer.
