Abstract
Background: The mental health of an individual is affected by a number
of factors, including anxiety. Anxiety is a normal human emotion that
is experienced in varying degrees as a state of emotional or physical
uneasiness. Excessive anxiety occurs as a response to an actual or
anticipated situation or as a pathological state.
Aim: The study aimed to find the efficacy of teaching programme on
knowledge regarding anxiety among GNM students by assessing their
knowledge before and after intervention through pre and post-test.
Materials and Methods: Pre-experimental approach was adopted for
the study with one group pre-test post-test design. 30 GNM students
studying in Dolphin Institute of Medical Sciences and Technology,
District Pulwama were selected by using non-probability purposive
sampling technique. Data were collected by using a self-structured
questionnaire. The collected data were organised and analysed according
to the objectives of the study using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The mean post-test knowledge score was higher than the
mean pre-test knowledge score. This indicates the effectiveness of the
planned teaching programme in increasing the level of knowledge of
GNM students regarding anxiety. There was no statistically significant
association between pre-test knowledge score of the subjects with the
selected demographic variables such as age, gender, residence, type of
family, occupation of parents at 0.05 level of significance.
Conclusion: The findings of the study conclude that GNM students were
not possessing adequate knowledge regarding anxiety. The planned
teaching programme was found to be effective in increasing their
knowledge level of study subjects.
