Abstract

Foreign body ingestion is a common and potentially life-threatening emergency among toddlers. Mothers play a vital role in prevention and immediate management, and adequate knowledge of home manoeuvres can help reduce complications and improve child safety. The main aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding home manoeuvres for foreign body ingestion among mothers of toddlers in selected villages of District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. A quantitative research approach with quasi-experimental non-randomized control group design was used. The study was conducted on 60 mothers of toddlers, with 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. Samples were selected using non-probability convenient sampling technique from selected villages of District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and presented through tables and bar diagrams. The pretest mean knowledge score was 10.13 in the experimental group and 10.03 in the control group, whereas the posttest mean scores were 19.76 and 10.46, respectively. The calculated paired 't' value in the experimental group was 14.82, higher than the table value of 2.05 at p≤0.05, while in the control group it was 1.12, lower than 2.05. Thus, the structured teaching programme had a significant impact on mothers' knowledge. A significant association was also found between posttest knowledge score and selected socio-demographic variables in the experimental group at p≤0.05 level of significance.
