Validity was done from 25 experts. Total 80 samples were selected by Probability simple random sampling method. A Structured questionnaire of 24 items was administered to collect data. Pre-test was given on the 1st day followed by planned teaching and Post-test was administered on seventh day. Results and Conclusion Data were analysed by using frequency and percentage for demographic variables. Compute frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation used to calculate pre-test and post-test knowledge score. Paired ‘t’ test was used to compare the pre and post-test knowledge score.
