Post test knowledge mean score (17.1+1.76) was higher than the pre test knowledge mean score (9.77+3.58). The calculated “T” value (25.77) was greater than the table value (1.98) at 0.05 level of significance. The pre test and post test mean % is 39.08% and 68.4% and different is 29.32%.so knowledge is increase after intervention.
