IV. DISCUSSION
This section relates to the findings of the present study to the findings of the previous studies.
The supported study conducted by Prabhat Kumar (2020) on effectiveness of structured teaching program on knowledge
regarding prevention of upper respiratory tract infection Showed that there were 40 number (66.67%) of the mothers with
inadequate knowledge, 19 number (31.66%) of the mothers with the moderate level of knowledge, 1 number (1.67%) of
mother with adequate knowledge whereas in post-test22number(36.67%)ofmothershadmoderateknowledge,38numbers
(63.33%) had adequate knowledge regarding prevention of upper respiratory tract infection.
The similar study conducted by BhumiRaval(2015)on effectivenessofSTPonknowledgeregarding respiratorytractinfection
showed that there was no significant association between knowledge of mothers of under five children with selected socio-
demographic variable such as age, education, occupation, family income, number of family member and number of under five
children.
V. CONCLUSION
The level of knowledge score was less when assessed after
conducting pretest, whereas the score had increased in
posttest after the implementation Structured Teaching
Programme Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. During
posttest the level of knowledge was improve. After pre &
posttest assessment of level of knowledge regarding URTI
the significant difference between the pre & post test scores
was demonstrated by using ”t‟ test & it was found that the
structured teaching programme was an effective tool. The
study proved that there was no significant association
between demographicvariables&pretestlevel ofknowledge
except for source of knowledge mothers about Upper
Respiratory Tract Infection.
