Manvirpal Kaur, Daljit Kaur

Abstract


In the present study, the investigator deals with the mothers of under-five children as an open system theory whose knowledge regarding prevention and management of pneumonia was affected by certain factors, i.e. age of mother (in years), education of mothers, occupation of mothers, type of family, monthly family income (in Rs), number of children, health facilities (nearby), and source of information. The investigator had assessed the existing knowledge of the mothers regarding prevention and management of pneumonia by taking pre-test of experimental group. It inferred that the maximum 11 (36.68%) mothers were in the age group of 26–30 years in experimental group, and 16 (53.34%) in control group. In experimental group, the maximum 11 (36.68%) mothers were educated up to 6th–10th standard, and in control group, the maximum 12 (40%) mothers were educated up to 6th–10th standard. In experimental group, the maximum 18 (60%) mothers were homemaker, and in control group, most of 16 (53.34%) mothers were homemaker. The maximum 16 (53.34%) mothers in experimental group belonged to nuclear family, and in control group, the maximum 13 (43.34%) mothers were from nuclear family. In experimental group, the maximum 20 (66.67%) mothers belonged to families having monthly income Rs. 5001–10,000, and in control group, the maximum 17 (56.67%) mothers belonged to families having income of Rs. 5001– 0,000. The maximum 17 (56.67%) mothers had one child in experimental group, whereas in control group, 14 (46.67%) mothers had two children. In experimental group 15 (50%) most of mothers received health care from government hospital, and in control group, 13 (43.33%) mothers from government hospitals. In experimental group 11 (36.67%) mothers got information from electronic media, and in control group, 11 (36.67%) mothers got information from electronic media.
