Abstract : Minor ailments are common, mild health conditions among school children such as fever, upper respiratory tract infections, diarrhea, epistaxis, and minor cuts. These conditions are usually non-serious and can be effectively managed in school settings with basic first aid knowledge and timely intervention.The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an Information Booklet in improving the knowledge of Government Primary School Teachers regarding the management of minor ailments among school children in Aizawl, Mizoram. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test research design was adopted. A total of 64 Government Primary School Teachers from 8 schools were selected using a non-probability convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire to assess socio-demographic variables and knowledge regarding minor ailments. The pre-test total score had a mean of 14.10 with a standard deviation of 2.757, indicating a moderate level of knowledge among the teachers before the administration of the information booklet. The scores ranged from a minimum of 8 to a maximum of 20. The post-test total score showed an increased mean of 20.81 with a standard deviation of 2.031, demonstrating an improvement in the teachers’ knowledge after the intervention. The post-test scores ranged from 16 to 25. The paired samples t-test was conducted to compare the knowledge scores of Government Primary School Teachers before and after the administration of the information booklet regarding the management of minor ailments among school children.The findings revealed that the mean difference between the pre-test and post-test scores was -6.746, indicating that the post-test scores were higher than the pre-test scores. The calculated t-value was -15.891 with 62 degrees of freedom (df). The obtained p-value was 0.000, which is less than the level of significance of 0.05. This indicates that there was a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test knowledge scores. Therefore, the information booklet was effective in improving the knowledge of Government Primary School Teachers regarding the management of minor ailments among school children.
