Abstract:

Introduction: The "cold chain" is a system of storage and transport of vaccines at low temperature from the manufacturer to the actual vaccination site. The cold chain system is necessary because vaccine failure may occur due to failure to store and transport under strict temperature controls. This is of concern in view of the fairly frequent reports of vaccine preventable disease occurrence in populations thought to have been well immunized. Methodology: This study was based on quantitative approach. The research design used in this study was Quasi experimental Design. One group pre-test post -test design was used to find the effectiveness of self- instructional module on effectiveness of structured teaching program on knowledge regarding cold-chain among general nursing midwifery (GNM) 1st year students at selected nursing institutions and association of knowledge score with the selected demographic variables. Results: Mean knowledge score in pre test was 14.11±3.20 and mean percentage of knowledge score in pre test was 47.05%±10.66. After the structure teaching program, mean knowledge score in post-test was 22.50%±2.72 and mean percentage of knowledge score in post test was 75±9.90 and the mean difference was 8.38±4.52. The tabulated value was 2.00. The calculated ‘t’ value i.e. 14.33 which is much higher than the tabulated value. Conclusion: The study concluded that the post test knowledge score was improved after implementation of structured teaching program. Structured teaching program plays important role in improving the knowledge.
