“A STUDY TO EVLUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STRUCTURED

TEACHING PROGRAMME ON KNOWLEDGE REGARDING

TUBERCULOSIS TREATMENT AND IT’S PREVENTION

AMONG THE TUBERCULOSIS PATIENT’S FAMILY

MEMBERS OF SELECTED RURAL AREAS

IN AHMEDABAD CITY”
 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
• According to Dr. L.S. Chauhan, Director General (TB) at the Ministry of
Health and Family Welfare, says that there are around 1.8 million new cases
every year. Improved standards of living and better sanitation have resulted in a
steady decline in the incidence of tuberculosis in developed countries. Hospital
records reveal high incidence of tuberculosis in many Asiatic countries.
• Efforts to end TB in India through implementation of the National Strategic
Plan (2017-2025) has completed the first three years of implementation.
During this period, goal pronounced by our Honorable Prime Minister at the
Delhi end TB summit in March 2018 of ending the TB epidemic by 2025 from
the country, five years ahead of SDG (sustainable development goals) goals for
2030.The Programme has now been renamed as National Tuberculosis
Elimination Programme (NTEP) from Revised National Tuberculosis Control
Program (RNTCP).
 NEED FOR THE STUDY
• According to who report (2019) globally, an estimated 10.0 million (range,
9.0–11.1 million) people fell ill with TB in 2018, from fewer than five to more
than 500 new cases per 100 000 population per year, with the global average
being around 130. There were an estimated 1.2 million TB deaths.
• The Global Tuberculosis report of 2018, geographically, most TB cases in 2018
were in the WHO regions of South-East Asia (44%), Africa (24%) and the
Western Pacific (18%), with smaller percentages in the Eastern Mediterranean
(8%), the Americas (3%) and Europe (3%). Eight countries accounted for two
thirds of the global total: India (27%), China (9%), Indonesia (8%), the
Philippines (6%), Pakistan (6%), Nigeria (4%), Bangladesh (4%) and South
Africa (3%). These and 22 other countries in WHO’s list of 30 high TB burden
countries accounted for 87% of the world’s cases.
 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
• To assess the pre-test knowledge on tuberculosis treatment and its prevention
among the tuberculosis patient’s family members in selected rural areas of
Ahmedabad city.
• To assess the post-test knowledge on tuberculosis treatment and it’s prevention
among the tuberculosis patient’s family members in selected rural areas of
Ahmedabad city.
• To determine the effectiveness of planned teaching Programme on tuberculosis
treatment and its prevention among the tuberculosis patient’s family members in
selected rural areas of Ahmedabad city.
• To find out the association between socio-demographic variables and pre-test
knowledge score regarding tuberculosis treatment and its prevention among the
 HYPOTHESES
Ho - There is no significant difference between the Pre-test and Post-test
Knowledge scores regarding tuberculosis treatment and its prevention among
the tuberculosis patient’s family members in selected rural areas of Ahmedabad
city.
H1 - There will be significant difference between the pre-test and post-test
knowledge scores regarding tuberculosis treatment and its prevention among
the tuberculosis patient’s family members in selected rural areas of Ahmedabad
city.
H2 - There will be significant association between pre-test Knowledge levels
with socio-demographic variables tuberculosis treatment and its prevention
among the tuberculosis patient’s family members in selected rural areas of
Ahmedabad city.
 DELIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
• This study is limited to 80 sample only.
• Relatives who are working in hospital are not taken as a sample.
• This study is limited to family member of tuberculosis patients in
selected rural areas of Ahmedabad city.
• Relatives of tuberculosis patients who are willing to ready for
participate in study.
• Measurement of scores for knowledge once before and after
planned teaching program only.

knowledge score with selected demographic variables.
Finding related to Association of knowledge scores of
samples with socio-demographic variables.

The finding of the study reveals that there was

significant association between gender, marital status and pre-
test knowledge score. Hence it was concluded that there is no
significance association between socio-demographic variable age,
religion, income of family, types of house, surrounding
environment of house, type of family, sources of information about
tuberculosis and pretest knowledge score at 0.05 level of
significance.
 CONCLUSION
The study revealed that there was less knowledge regarding tuberculosis
treatment and its prevention among the tuberculosis patients family
members in selected rural areas of Ahmedabad city.

There was a significant association with gender, marital status and pre-
test knowledge score. Hence it was concluded that there is no
significance association between socio-demographic variable age,
religion, income of family, types of house, surrounding environment of
house, type of family, sources of information about tuberculosis and
pretest knowledge.
 IMPLICATIONS OF THE STUDY
Nursing practice : Nurse can extend and expand their role in different setting
especially in rural areas, urban areas, industry, home care setting, and hospital.
Nurse practitioner role is to extend the health care services to the neglected,
remote or underserved areas. Nurse practitioner should provide a package of
services in preventive, curative and rehabilitative services for promotion,
maintenance and restoration of health.
Nursing education : A well-equipped knowledge on tuberculosis treatment
and its prevention among the tuberculosis patients family members in rural
areas.
Nursing administration : The nurse as an administrator can organize and
conduct teaching programmer for tuberculosis patient’s family members in
order to enhance their knowledge and keep them aware of the health problems,
which occurs in their family. So that they themselves will be able to take care.
Nursing Research : Research provides nurses the credibility to
influence decision-making, policy and protocol formulation regarding
tuberculosis treatment and its prevention. Dissemination of findings
through conference, professional journals will make the application of
research findings too effective on evidence based practice.
