Abstract

Background- INTRODUCTION: The first case of HIV in India was reported in 1986 from Taminladu. Since then there has been an increase in the number of HIV infections over the years. As per the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), it is estimated that about 2.4 million people were living with HIV and AIDS in India in the year 2009. In Gujarat: 0.44% male and 0.30% Female are affected. Studies conducted in various parts of the country have confirmed that HIV infection has shifted from high-risk population to general population in India. DESIGN: A quantitative approach using pre experimental pre-test post-test design with one group. PARTICIPANTS: 30 Barbers were selected using Non-probability Convenient sampling technique in Mehsana city. INTERVENTIONS: Booklet was given to the Barbers .TOOL: Structured Questionnaire was used to assess the level of Knowledge of Barbers regarding HIV/AIDS. RESULTS: In this study overall the highest percentage in the demographic data including the Age group (21-30y) 50%, Education 63.33% (Secondary), Monthly income 36.66% (5000-15,000), and working hours 53.3%(6-10 hours),marital status 73.3%(married) . The post-test knowledge mean score (15.93 ± 2.21) was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (6.03 ± 2.44). The calculated‘t’ value (27.75) was greater than the table value (t6 = 3.65) at 0.001 level of significance. the SIM was effective in increasing the knowledge of Barbers regarding HIV/AIDS. There was highly significant difference found between pretest and post test knowledge scores with demographic variable like. Age (chi squre=5.71 NS), Education (chi squre=0.37 NS), Monthly income (chi squre=10.47 S), Working Hours ( chi squre = 8.89 NS) CONCLUSION: The findings of the study revealed that Self instruction module helps in improving knowledge among Barbers.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Lung cancer is disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the Lung. If left untreated, this growth can spread beyond the Lung in a process called metastasis into nearby tissues and eventually, into other parts the body. Most cancer that starts in lung known as primary lung cancers, are carcinomas that drive from epithelium cells. The most common causes of lung cancer is long term exposure to silica, abestastosis, tobacco smoke, nonsmokers accounting for 15% of lung cancer causes and these are often attributed to a combination of genetic factors, radon gas, asbestos, air pollution, and positive smoke. Worldwide in 2012, Lung Cancer occurred in 1.8 million people and resulted in1.6 million Deaths. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Planned teaching programme on Prevention of Lung cancer among Industrial worker. DESIGN: A quantitative approach using pre experimental pre-test post-test design with one group. PARTICIPANTS: 100 Industrial worker were selected using Non-Probability Convenient sampling technique in Mehsana District. INTERVENTIONS: Planned teaching was given to the Industrial worker. TOOL: Self Structured Questionnaire was used to assess the level of Knowledge regarding prevention of Lung cancer among Industrial worker RESULTS: In this study overall the highest percentage in the demographic data including the Age group 36% (28-37y), Gender 100% (Male), Religion 100% (Hindu), Marital status 71% (Married), Education 46% (Higher Secondary), Area of residence 64 % (Rural) Types of Industries 50% (cotton &construction), Duration of working in Industry 0-05 year (46%), and Monthly income 59% (5001-10,000). The post- test mean score (15.97 ±1.44) and was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (10.11 ±1.55). The calculated “T” value 27.71) was greater than the table value (1.98) at 0.05 level of significance. The Planned teaching was effective in increasing the Knowledge regarding Prevention of lung cancer among industrial worker.
