Abstract

A quasi-experiment with non-randomized control group design was used to find out the effect of structured teaching module on prevention of menopausal osteoporosis among conveniently selected174 women (control–87 & experimental group–87) residing at selected urban regions of Maharashtra..To collect data on demographic variables & knowledge regarding prevention of menopausal osteoporosis, a Structured Interview Schedule was used among women in control & experimental group before and after an intervention. After a pre- test, the structured teaching module was used to teach on prevention of menopausal osteoporosis among 87 women of experimental group whereas no such deliberation was made in control group. However, after one week, the post test was conducted among women in control & experimental group to assess the effect of structured teaching module on prevention of menopausal osteoporosis

Results: From the findings, it was observed that the pre-intervention demographic variables of women in control and experimental group were more or less similar revealing both the groups had similar characteristics. It was observed that the mean knowledge (control group; 9.28+2.11% & experimental group; 8.7+1.85) on prevention of menopausal osteoporosis among women were moreor less similar before intervention.

Conclusion: after an intervention, the mean knowledge on prevention of menopausal osteoporosis was significantly increased from 8.7+1.85 to 21.7+3.91 in experimental group whereas it was almost remainedunchanged in control group. There was a significant difference (p<0.0001) between pre-test and post- test knowledge scores in experimental group. And, there was also a significant difference (p<0.0001) between the post tests of control and experimental group. No significant association (p>0.05) was found between knowledge on prevention of menopausal osteoporosis and Age of the women, Religion, Education, Per capita family income, and Occupation. Findings of study revealed that the STM on prevention of menopausal as a method of teaching was effective among women residing in selected urban region of Maharashtra state.
