An experimental study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of training module regarding knowledge and health practice for prevention of respiratory infection among Balwadi teachers in selected community at Coimbatore district. A sample of 15 Balwadi teachers were chosen through Convenient Sampling Technique. The conceptual frame work was adopted from Ludwig von Bertanlanfy systems theory (1968). A Structured Questionnaire was used to collect the data which consists of 3 parts, part I include demographic Characteristics, Part II include 15 items for the assessment of Knowledge and 10 items for the assessment of healthy practice. Descriptive and Inferential Statistics were used to analyze the data. The study reveals that before the intervention, the mean Knowledge score were 57.33% and after the intervention the mean score had increased to 84%. In the aspect of health Practice before intervention the mean practice score were 59.3% and after intervention the practice score were 92% ; which shows both the Knowledge ( t= 12.39, df=14, p≤0.05) and health Practice score (t=15.84, df=14, p≤0.05) had increased significantly after the intervention. The study concludes that training module were effective .Keywords

Back Ground: Development is the process whereby a young baby and child explores and learns and grows into adulthood. Individual skills are built up and combined to produce ever more sophisticated achievements (such as walking, talking, playing, thinking and communicating). Despite variability from child to child, there is a general order in the progressive development of individual skills. Simple skills precede the more difficult ones. Developmental delay is a descriptive term used when a young child's development is delayed in one or more areas compared to other children. Children show a delay in their understanding of the world and take longer to think and learn new skills, e.g. talking, self help skills such as dressing and eating independently. The age of acquiring a specific skill depends on the rate of learning. A child with an intellectual disability can still learn but needs more time and practice than other children. Like all children they need to feel good about themselves. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to assess the fine motor skills of children with developmental delay before administering structured drawing, to evaluate the effectiveness of structured drawing in improving the fine motor skills of children with developmental delay and to to find association of fine motor skills with selected demographic variables.
Methods: A Quasi experimental one group pretest post test design was used. Students aged between 4- 8 years with sample size 40 were taken through Convenient sampling technique in a special school. The Tool I: Structured questionnaire to collect demographic variable and the Tool II: to assess the fine motor skills of children( 4- 8 years).In Intervention module a Structured drawing( drawing activities) provided in individual basis according to the child's development, allowing maximum expression of creativity of the child.
Results: After training the children there was a improvement in the fine motor skills of children with developmental delay.
Conclusions: Structured drawing is an effective technique to improve the fine motor skills of children with developmental delay.

Back ground: A good resuscitation after cardiac arrest require an integrated coordinated actions. CPR traditionally has an integrated chest compressions and rescue breathing with the goal of optimizing circulation and oxygenation. Every human being can be a life-saving rescuer for a cardiac arrest victim. CPR skills and their application depends on the rescuer’s training, experience and confidence. Chest compression are the foundation of the CPR. So, training knowledge regarding CPR among community people is to be provided as a basic life support measures. Because of the importance of CPR, chest compression should be the initial CPR actions for all victim regardless of age. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to assess the pre-test knowledge regarding child CPR among selected people, assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on child CPR among selected people, assess the post-test knowledge regarding child CPR among selected people, and find out the association between knowledge on child CPR among selected people with selected demographic variables. Methods: An experimental study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding child CPR among selected people. One group pre-test post-test design was used for the study. The sample consisted of 50parents of under-five children from Olavanna Panchayath, Kozhikkode who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The tool used were structured questionnaire to assess sociodemographic data, structured questionnaire on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and on cardiopulmonary resuscitation in children. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used for analysis. Result: The obtained “t” value is 5.06, which is greater than the table value 2.043. Hence the null hypothesis was rejected. There was significant association found between level of knowledge of selected people regarding child CPR with their demographic variables such as education and type of profession. No significant association was found between level of knowledge of selected peoples regarding CPR with their demographic variables such as age, gender, participation in NCC, Scout and Guide (previous knowledge regarding CPR). The stated alternative hypothesis was accepted.Keywords
