Abstract Background: Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality
among women in developing countries. Inadequate awareness and negative
attitudes toward screening and prevention contribute to delayed diagnosis.
Haritha Karma Sena members, as community-level workers, can play a vital role
in health promotion if adequately educated.
Aim: To assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on
knowledge and attitude regarding cervical cancer among Haritha Karma Sena
members.
Methods: A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test
post-test design was adopted. Sixty Haritha Karma Sena members were selected
using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured knowledge
questionnaire and a 5-point Likert attitude scale. A structured teaching
programme was administered, followed by a post-test. Data were analysed using
descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The mean post-test knowledge and attitude scores were significantly
higher than the pre-test scores (p < 0.001). The structured teaching programme
was effective in improving both knowledge and attitude regarding cervical
cancer.
Conclusion: Structured teaching programmes are effective educational strategies
to enhance awareness and foster positive attitudes toward cervical cancer
prevention among community workers.
