ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme (STP) on the knowledge regarding menopausal changes among premenopausal women residing in selected rural areas of Nashik. The study employed a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test research design. A sample of 30 premenopausal women aged 40-45 years was selected through purposive sampling. Pre-test and post-test assessments were conducted to evaluate the knowledge of the participants. The findings indicate a significant improvement in knowledge after the structured teaching programme, highlighting the importance of educational interventions in promoting awareness regarding menopausal changes.
