5. 1. To assess the pre-test knowledge regarding GDM among
antenatal mothers.

regarding GDM among antenatal mothers.
3. To assess the post test knowledge regarding GDM among
antenatal mothers.

regarding GDM among antenatal mothers.
5. To determine the association between post test
knowledge regarding GDM with the selected socio-
demographic variables of antenatal mothers.

Method
•A brief introduction about research study was given to the
samples.
•Data on socio-demographic variables has been collected
from 60 antenatal mothers and pre-test was done to assess
their knowledge regarding GDM by using Self Structured
Questionnaire.

 Association between the socio demographic variables of
post test knowledge by using paired ‘t’ test and ANOVA.

14. RESULTS

15.  Majority of the antenatal mothers 56.67% belonged to the age group
21-25yrs.
 30% of antenatal mothers belonged to the age group 26-30 years.
 6.66% antenatal mothers belonged to the age group below 20 years.
 93.33% had less than one week stay in the hospital.
 Only 6.67% antenatal mothers had more than 1 week stay in the
hospital.

16. Pretest
• 70% of antenatal mother
had below average
knowledge of GDM.
• 28.33% had average
knowledge.
• 1.67% had above average
knowledge.
Post test
• 1.66% of antenatal
mother had below
average knowledge of
GDM
• 86.67 % had average
knowledge
• 11.67 % had above
average knowledge.

17. The structured teaching programme improved the
knowledge of antenatal mothers, which is concluded by
difference in pre test and post test knowledge scores.
It is also influenced by demographic variables and stay in
hospital.
