Abstract: Immunization is a tool for controlling and eliminating life threatening six infectious and vaccine preventable diseases like tuberculosis, tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough and poliomyelitis and is estimated to avert between 2 and 3 million deaths each year. It is one of the most cost effective health investments with proven strategies that makes it accessible to own the most hard to reach and vulnerable population. The present study was a humble attempt to “A pre-experimental study to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on level of knowledge and attitude regarding advantages of immunization among antenatal mothers in Anganwadi centre at Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh.” The first objective of study was assess the pre test and post test level of knowledge regarding advantages of immunization among antenatal mothers and second objectives was to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on level of knowledge regarding advantages of immunization among antenatal mothers and at last objectives was find out the association difference between pre test level of knowledge regarding advantages of immunization with their socio demographic variables among antenatal mothers. The research approach adopted for the study to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on level of knowledge and attitude regarding advantages of immunization among antenatal mothers in Anganwadi centre at Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. In this study sample size are 60 antenatal mothers in Anganwadi centre at Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh who are fulfill the inclusive criteria. A purposive sampling was used for sampling. Conceptual framework general system theory by Ludwig Von Bertalanffy (1968) established for current study. The above Table 4.14 & Figure 4.14 shows the frequency and percentage distribution of pre test level of knowledge regarding advantages of immunization among antenatal mothers by which 34(57%) mothers had poor knowledge and 26(43%) mothers were with average knowledge. None had good knowledge in pre test. With respect to post test level of knowledge regarding advantages of immunization among antenatal mothers, out of which, 36(60%) mothers were with good knowledge and 24 (40%) mothers had average knowledge and none had poor knowledge in post test. Above the table 4.15 reveals that the pre-test mean value was 20.16(±6.75 SD). The post-test mean value was 25.16 (±5.16 SD). The calculated „t‟ value was 6.35 is more than table value (CV>TV) which was highly significant at p<0.05 level. The mean improvement values 5 show a significant rise in the level of knowledge regarding advantages of immunization among antenatal mothers. The paired „t‟ value was 6.35 which was more than the table value and highly significant at p<0.05 level which suggested that level of regarding advantages of immunization among antenatal mothers. Hence, the proposed Hypothesis (H1), “There will be significant difference between the pre test and post test level of knowledge regarding advantages of immunization among antenatal mothers”, was Accepted. Table No. 4.16: shows the associate the level of knowledge regarding advantages of immunization with their socio demographic variables among antenatal mothers. On applying The chi-square test demographic variable education of mother 2 = 9.41, area of residence 2 = 4.12 and place of delivery 2 = 6.60 was significantly associate the level of knowledge regarding advantages of immunization with their socio demographic variables among antenatal mothers. Hence, the proposed Hypothesis (H2), “ To find out the association difference between pre test level of knowledge regarding advantages of immunization with their socio demographic variables among antenatal mothers at the p<0.05 level of significance”, was Accepted, For education of mother, area of residence and place of delivery and other demographic variable was not association between Pre test levels of knowledge regarding advantages of immunization with their socio demographic variables among antenatal mothers.
