ABSTRACT Objectives The study was carried out To assess the pre-test knowledge on home care management of cerebral palsy for the mothers of affected children in experimental and control group, To compare the post-test level of knowledge score in experimental and control group, To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching program on home care management of cerebral palsy in the mothers of affected children and To find association between the post-test knowledge on home care management of cerebral palsy for the mothers of affected children and the variables among experimental and control group. Materials and Methods The study was carried out using a quantitative, true experimental design: the Randomized control trial method. The Randomized controlled trial method is an effective Method to balance the confounding factors between the experimental and control groups. The total sample consists of 120 in numbers of which 60 samples belong to the group-A (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) as an experimental group and 60 samples belongs to the Group- B (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday]as a control group. Using a multi stage sampling Technique, two groups were selected through simple randomization (lottery) method and randomly assigned as experimental group and control group. The Neurology OPD and Physiotherapy department were again randomized in each 10 -12 mothers are selected Using simple randomization (lottery) method to alleviate the bias. Samples were selected Using a multi stage sampling with simple randomization. Pre-existing knowledge was Assessed for the mothers in both the groups using a structured questionnaire prepared by the investigator and validated by the Physiotherapy experts. Structured teaching Programme on home care management of cerebral palsy for the mothers of affected Children was given to the participants in experimental group using pamphlet, flex board nd flash cards. Control group was not provided with any intervention. Post test was Conducted in both the group after a week of intervention. Results The Physiotherapy results show that in experiment group, on an average, in post-test After having structured teaching programme, the mean difference of knowledge gain Score is in experiment group, none of them have inadequate level of score, 20.00% of Them have moderate level and 80.00% have adequate level of score. In the control group, 56.67% of them have inadequate level of score, 43.33% of them have moderate level and None have adequate level of score. Statistical significance was calculated using Chi square Test. The difference shows the effectiveness of structured teaching programme. There is a significant association between the knowledge gain score and the age, education, marital Status, mode of delivery and previous experience of the participants. Conclusion The study of Physiotherapy results showed that there is an effectiveness of a Structured teaching programme in the mothers of children affected with cerebral palsy on Physiotherapeutic home care management of these children. The paediatric nurses can Develop an educative material on home care management of children with cerebral palsy for an effective comprehensive care. Hence the researcher was interested in assessing the Knowledge and finding the effectiveness of prepared educative material among the mothers of affected children regarding home care management of cerebral palsy.
