Aims and Objectives:
The goal of the research study is to assess the
effectiveness of structured teaching programme on
knowledge related to health hazards of global warming
on children among high school students.
Methods:
Pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test
design was recruited to assess the effectiveness of
structured teaching programme on knowledge related to
health hazards of global warming on children among
high school students in selected schools at Mysuru.
In view of the nature of the problem and to
accomplish the objectives of the study, a structured
teaching programme was prepared focusing on
knowledge related to health hazards of global warming
on children. In order to evaluate the success of an
organized education program, a knowledge
questionnaire was created. With the help of mentors and
subject-matter experts in the fields of statistics,
pediatrics, and nursing, the tool's reliability (R=0.87)
was evaluated, and its validity was guaranteed.
A non-probability convenient sampling strategy
was used to pick 100 high school students for the study at
Shikshkarni Central School in Mysuru. To get the
required information, a structured knowledge
questionnaire was given. Descriptive and inferential
statistics were used to analyze the data.Result:
The mean pre-test score for the knowledge
assessment was 11.19, and the mean post-test score was
21.42.This demonstrated that the STP was successful in raising
high school students' awareness of the health risks that
climate change poses to children. Since there is a
substantial difference between the mean pre-test and
mean post-test knowledge scores, the research hypothesis
(H1) is accepted.
