Abstract: ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common gastrointestinal (GI) problems, characterized by altered bowel habits in association with abdominal discomfort or pain in the absence of detectable structural and biochemical abnormalities. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is common functional bowel disorder that generates a significant health care burden and can severely impair quality of life. The study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of self instructional module on knowledge regarding the prevention of irritable bowel syndrome among college students at selected degree colleges, Bangalore. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM “A study to evaluate the effectiveness of self-instructional module on knowledge regarding prevention of Irritable bowel syndrome among college students at selected degree colleges, Bangalore.” OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY • To assess the level of knowledge of degree college student regarding prevention of irritable bowel syndrome. • To find out the difference between the mean pre-test and post-test knowledge scores of degree college students regarding prevention of irritable bowel syndrome. • To determine the association between the mean pre-test knowledge level of degree college students regarding prevention of irritable bowel syndrome and their selected socio-demographic variables. METHODS The pre experimental one group pre-test post-test design was used for the study. The study was conducted in selected degree colleges, Bangalore. Sample of 100 degree college students based on inclusion criteria were chosen by means of non probability convenient sampling technique. The data collection tool were validated by experts, the reliability and feasibility were determined by the pilot study. The data for the study was collected by structured knowledge questionnaire following which samples were subjected to Self Instructional Module (SIM) for the duration of 45 minutes. Post-test was done on 7th day following intervention. The same tool used to conduct the post-test. The data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS A total of 100 degree college students were recruited as a sample. The findings showed that the mean post-test knowledge score of the subjects was 33.51±3.24, higher than the mean pre-test score of 16.08±2.33. The ‘t’ value obtained from paired ‘t’ test was 24.83, which was higher than the critical value of 2.6 at p< 0.05 level showing that the improvement in knowledge score was significant. The chi-square test was applied to determine the association of demographic variables with knowledge scores of degree college students. Results showed that the year of study, area of residence, food pattern, personal habits and source of information were significant. It means there is significant difference between pre-test and post test level of knowledge of college students regarding prevention of irritable bowel syndrome. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSION The result of the study showed there was a significant improvement obtained following SIM on regarding prevention of irritable bowel syndrome among degree college students. This study enlightens that there is an immense need for educational programme in hospital or community to improve the knowledge regarding prevention of irritable bowel syndrome. And also this study motivates other researchers to conduct further studies to evaluate the attitudes and practices of degree college students regarding prevention of irritable bowel syndrome.
