Research Group A

A STUDY TO ASSESS THE KNOWLEDGE AND

EDUCATE REGARDING IMMUNIZATION IN
CHILDREN AMONGST MOTHER IN A
COMMUNITY SETTING
NEED OF THE STUDY
According To WHO:
Immunization has been regarded as the most cost
effective intervention for child health promotion. Immunizing a child
significantly reduces cost of creating diseases thus providing a health
childhood and reducing poverty and suffering.
According To EPI:
Non immunization is the leading cause of high
childhood morbidity and mortality in developing countries.

OBJECTIVES
To assess the knowledge of mothers regarding immunization.
To create awareness amongst mothers about the six killer diseases and
their available immunization.
To prevent the children from six killer diseases.

ANALYSES AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter deals with the analysis and interpretation of the data collection
to evaluate the effectiveness of the planned teaching programme on
universal immunization in terms of knowledge and practice of mother in the
selected community.
This purpose of analysis is to reduce the data to an intangible and
interpretable form, so that the research problems can be studied and tested
the research analyst has broken down data in constituents parts to obtain
answers to the research question and to test the research hypotheses.
According to Polit and Hungler (1999) data analysis is the systematic
organisation and synthesis of research data and testing of research
hypothesis using the data.
Abdella and levine (1999) stated that interpretation of tabulated data could
being to light the real the real meaning of the findings of the study.
Analysis and interpretation of data are based on data collection through
structured knowledge questionnaire and structured skill observation
checklist from mothers of selected community meharauli.
Analyse s and interpretation of data were based on the objectives of the
study and hypothesis to be tested. Both deceptive and influential statics
have been used.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY:1. To assess the pre-test knowledge score regarding immunization
among mothers.
2. To prepare a planned teaching programme.
3. To evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching programme
regarding immunization.

ORGANIZATION AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

Raw data collected were entered in the master sheet for the statistical
analysis .The data findings have been organized and presented under the
following heading .
SECTION-A description of sample characteristic.
SECTION-B Finding related to knowledge regarding universal
immunization amogst the mother
