Abstract Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is common affecting throughout their life. It occurs in all populations from neonates to geriatric patients but it has a particular impact on females of all ages especially during the adolescent period. UTIs are much more common in adults than in children but about 1-2% of children do get UTIs. A short urethra in women is mostly responsible for the high incidence of UTI among them. This study examines the effectiveness of structured teaching programs in the prevention of UTI among adolescent girls. The objectives of the study were, to identify the knowledge regarding the prevention of UTI among adolescent girls, to provide & evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programs on the prevention of UTI among adolescent girls & to determine the association between knowledge regarding the prevention of UTI among adolescent girls and selected demographic variables. This study was conducted at Nehru College of Nursing Panyoor post-Vaniyamkulam. The research design adopted for the study was a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design. A sample of 40 students in the age group of thirteen to nineteen years was selected conveniently for the study. The data was collected by using a socio-demographic profile and a structured knowledge questionnaire regarding UTI following which, a planned teaching program on “prevention of UTI” was administered to adolescent girls on the second day. In the pretest score, about of sample 15% had good knowledge in pretest, 75% had average knowledge, and 10% had poor knowledge. After the teaching program (posttest) 87.5% had good knowledge and 12.5% had average knowledge. The previous episodes of UTI and previous knowledge regarding UTI are significant. As it is a problem focused on adolescent girls might support reducing the occurrence of UTIs.
