The research design selected for this study was a pre - Experimental, one group pre-test post-test design. The independent variable was the self instructional module on polycystic ovarian syndrome and dependent variables were knowledge. The study was conducted on B.Sc. Nursing first year students of SAIMS college of nursing, Indore . The reliability of the test was found out using Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient formula. The reliability was found to be ‘r =0.834’ for knowledge questionnaire and ‘r =.96 which indicates that the tool was reliable. The sample size was 60 was taken by Non-probability purposive Sampling technique.

Section III: To Find Out The Association Between Pretest And Posttest Knowledge Scores With Selected Demographic Variables.

DISCUSSION:

The findings of the present study had been discussed with objectives, conclusion, findings and the results of the similar studies the findings were discussed under the following

Age indicated that less than half (45.0%) of the B. Sc. nursing 1st year female students were more frequently belonged to lower age groups of 17-18 years and the same proportion (45.0%) of students found within age group of 19-20 years. The age group of 21-22 years included few (6, 10.0%) B. Sc. nursing 1st year students had participated in the present study.

This was easily sees in table that the pattern of diet found. Results showed that more than three fourth (76.7%) of the B. Sc. nursing 1st year students were enjoying vegetarian food more frequently On the other hand rests, less than one- fourth (23.3%) of the B. Sc. nursing 1st year students were enjoying non- vegetarian food included and that participated in the present study.

Joint family was found to be the most common type of family in more than half (51.7%) of the B. Sc. nursing 1st year students were used to live together with their parents and grandparents.
