Prevention of obesity among sedentary workers is the core concept of this study. The present
study is aimed to assess the effectiveness of self-instructional module on knowledge regarding
prevention of obesity among sedentary workers. The objectives were to assess the knowledge of
sedentary workers regarding prevention of obesity before and after administration of self-
instructional module, evaluate the effectiveness of self-instructional module among the sedentary
workers regarding prevention of obesity by comparing pre-test and post-test knowledge scores
and find out association between pre-test knowledge scores and selected socio demographic
variables. It was a pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design. 100 study participants
were selected by non-probability convenient sampling. Structured questionnaire was used to
assess the pre-test knowledge level. Self -instructional module also distributed on the same day
of pre-test. After one week post-test was conducted with the same tool. Results revealed that the
mean pre-test knowledge score and mean post-test knowledge score was 13.62 and 17.44
respectively. This shows that there was a significant difference in mean pre-test and mean post-
test knowledge scores with p value is < 0.001. Hence self-instructional module was effective on
knowledge regarding prevention of obesity among sedentary workers. And also there is
association present between pre-test knowledge scores and selected socio demographic variables
like sex, monthly income, occupation and diet. Self-instructional module can improve the level
of knowledge regarding prevention of obesity among sedentary workers.
