Abstract

The first five years of life (and especially the first two years) have a great and lasting influence on the quality of life of a human being. Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme which was launched on 2^nd October 1975 in 33 community development blocks. The ICDS scheme was started in India with the objectives to improve the nutritional and health status of children in the age-group 0-6 years. Non Experimental, Descriptive Research Design is used to select 200 Beneficiaries of Anganwadi Centers from District Jalandhar Punjab. Simple Purposive sampling technique is used to select the samples. Result and Conclusion: Mean score of Satisfaction level of Beneficiaries and Standard deviation of total 200 sample were 66.82 ± 8.326 respectively Median of 200 samples was 66. Maximum, 119 (59.5%) beneficiaries had Neutral level of satisfaction, followed by 75 (37.5%) beneficiaries are satisfied and minimum 6 (3%) beneficiaries were unsatisfied regarding services provided by Anganwadi workers in the Anganwadi centres. Area wise, immunization area of the got first rank in satisfaction level of beneficiaries regarding services provided by Anganwadi workers with mean percentage of 92.96% and least mean percentage and six rank got by health checkups services that is 53.54%.

Abstract

Foreign body ingestion/aspiration is the fourth leading cause of injury hospitalizations and deaths in children younger than four years of age. Incidence peaks at nine to 11 months of age, declining thereafter. The majority of choking and suffocation deaths occur in the first year of life, with the majority of hospitalizations occurring in the first three years. Quasi Experimental (Non-equivalent pre-test and post-test control group) research design was used in the study. The sample size was 60 mothers of toddler's i.e 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group and was selected from selected villages of Jalandhar, Punjab using Convenience sampling technique. The Pre test mean knowledge score of experimental group was 15.63 and Post test mean knowledge score was 25.80. The Pre test mean knowledge score of control group was 17.10 and Post test mean knowledge score was 17.07. The difference of pre-test post-test mean knowledge score of mothers of toddlers in control group was statistically not significant whereas it was statistically significant in experimental group. The t_cal 0.571<t_tab 1.96 in control group whereas in experimental group t_cal 19.431 > t_tab 1.96. So the difference of posttest mean knowledge score of experimental group was statistically significant at p<0.05 level. Hence, it was concluded that lecture cum demonstration was useful in providing knowledge regarding Foreign Body ingestion.
