The above table shows the Pre-test and Post-test knowledge scores obtained by the
respondents on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. The mean Pre-test score was 15 and the
mean post test score was 21. The mean difference between Pre-test and post-test
knowledge score was 6. The table also shows that the Standard deviation of Pre-test score
of knowledge was 1.67 and Standard deviation of post test score of knowledge was 1.41.
The calculated “ t ”value was 16.43 and the tabulated „t‟ value was 2.57 at 0.05 level of
significance.
Above table also reveals that the mean post-test knowledge score was significantly higher
than the mean pre-test knowledge scores. The calculated „t‟ value (16.43) was greater
than the tabulated „t‟ (t=2.57). Therefore the null hypothesis H0 was rejected and research
hypothesis was accepted and it reveals that the Structured teaching program was effective
in gaining the knowledge among the samples. I concluded that there was significant
increase in the mean post-test knowledge score as compared to the mean pre-test
knowledge score after administration of planned teaching program on Polycystic Ovarian
Syndrome.

The above table shows the Pre-test and Post-test Attitude scores obtained by the samples
on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. The mean pre-test score was 31.33 and the mean post-
test score was 44.33. The mean difference between pre-test and post-test attitude score
was 13. The table also shows that the pre-test standard deviation of attitude score was 1.50
and post-test standard deviation of attitude score was 2.73. The calculated „t‟ value was
8.07 and the tabulated „t‟ value was 2.57 with df (5) at 0.05 level of significance.
The above table also reveals that the mean post-test attitude score was significantly higher
than the mean pre-test attitude scores. The calculated „t‟ value (t=8.07) was greater than
the tabulated „t‟ (t= 2.57). Therefore the null hypothesis H0 was rejected and research
hypothesis was accepted. I concluded that there was significant increase in the mean post-
test attitude scores as compared to the mean pre-test attitude score after administration of
structured teaching program on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
