The study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of teaching programme on Osteoporosis among Hospital Aides
Evaluative approach was employed with pre experimental one group pre test post test design. The sample consisted of 80 Hospital Aides selected using purposive sampling technique.
The mean post-test knowledge score (x2 = 31.19) was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (x1= 17.15). The post-test score ranged from 24–37 and that of pre-test ranged from 7–23. The mean difference between post-test and pre-test knowledge score was highly significant (t79=30.43) (t79=1.66 at 0.05 level). There was no significant association between pre-test knowledge scores and selected variable like age (x2(2) =1.384), family income (x2(2) =2.043), years of experience (x2(1) =3.152), and education (x2(1)=0.075) at P > 0.05.
Planned Teaching Programme was effective in enhancing the knowledge regarding Osteoporosis among Hospital Aides.
