A Study to assess the Effectiveness of Information Booklet on Knowledge of Mothers regarding Use of Zinc Supplementation in Managing Diarrhoea among Under Five Children in a selected Rural Community in Bhopal

Abstract

Background: Zinc supplementation is suggested in all intense bowel
issues in kids from non-industrial nations. We planned to survey whether
zinc supplementation would be similarly compelling against every one
of the normal life forms related to intense looseness of the bowels.
Method: A semi-exploratory one gathering, pre-test post-test
configuration was utilised for the examination. Purposive testing
procedure was used to choose 40 mothers. The specialist evaluated
the information with respect to the advantages of zinc utilising organised
information survey. On the seventh day, a post-test was conducted.
The gathered information was examined using graphic and inferential
measurements.
Result: The mean post-test information score (20.33) was higher than
the mean pre-test knowledge score (11.95). The mean contrast between
post-test and pre-test knowledge score was profoundly huge. The
obtained ‘t’ value (13.60) was higher than the table value. There was
no significant relationship between knowledge score and chosen
demographic variables like age, number of kids, occupation, family,
income, religion with the exception of educational status of mothers.
Interpretation and Conclusion: The post-test knowledge score being
higher than the pre-test knowledge score leads to the conclusion
that the information booklet is a very useful method of improving the
information of the mothers regarding zinc supplementation in managing
diarrhoea among under-five children.
