Knowledge on prevention of fire accidents due to domestic gas leakage

Fire accidents cause undefined morbidity and mortality which can be prevented through creating awareness. The objectives of the study was to assess the pre test and post test knowledge, to compare and evaluate the post test level of knowledge score and to find association between the post-test knowledge and selected demographic variables. Randomised control design with 60 adult women between 21 - 60 years in each experimental and control group with multistage sampling was adopted. Total number of samples in the study n=120. The mean difference of knowledge gain score is 10.70(35.67%) p ≤ 0.05 in experimental group, the mean difference of knowledge gain score 0.55(1.83%) at p ≤ 0.05 in control group without any teaching shows the effectiveness of structured teaching programme.
