Abstract

The current study aimed to assess the effectiveness of structure teaching programme on knowledge regarding risk factors and prevention of suicidal behavior among girls and boys in selected college Bilaspur C.G. Pre experimental research design is utilized to achieved the stated. Objectives: 1. To assess the pre- test and post- test knowledge score regarding risk factors and prevention of suicidal behavior among girls and boys. 2. To determine the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding risk factors and prevention of suicidal behavior among girls and boys. 3. To find out the association between the pre- test knowledge score regarding risk factors and prevention of suicidal behavior among girls and boys with their socio demographic variables. Hypothesis: H1: There will be a significant difference between the pre-test and post test on knowledge score regarding risk factors and prevention of suicidal behavior among girls and boys. H2: There will be a significant association between the pre-test knowledge score regarding risk factors and prevention of suicidal behavior among girls and boys with their selected socio demographic variables. Projected Outcomes: In the present study Pre experimental research design is used to achieve the stated objectives. The study was based on the conceptual framework of modified Imogene King: Theory of Goal Attainment (1960’s). A quantitative research approach is used and pilot study was conducted to confirm the feasibility of the study. For main study simple random sampling technique was used on 100 samples of (50) girls and (50) boys at selected college bilaspur C.G. The tool used for data collection consists of socio demographic variables and self-structured questionnaire was used to assess the effectiveness of structure teaching programme on knowledge regarding risk factors and prevention of suicidal behavior among girls and boys in selected college bilaspur C.G. Data was analyzed using descriptive inferential statistics. In girl’s pre-test mean score of knowledge was 11.04 (± 2.08) and in post-test mean score of knowledge was 19.98 (± 1.86). Hence, post-test score is greater than pre-test mean score. And, in boys mean score of knowledge was 8.58 (± 1.7) and in post-test mean score of knowledge was 19.24 (± 2.33). Hence, post-test score is greater than pre-test mean score. The Z test value in girls was (24.16) and in boys (28.05) which is greater than 0.020 in the tabulated value and there is significant difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge regarding risk factors and prevention of suicidal behavior among girls and boys in selected college Bilaspur, C.G. (H1 hypothesis is accepted).
