Background: UP, India’s most popular state recorded the most diarrhoeal deaths. 22.21% deaths nationwide over five year to 2017. Method: A quantitative evaluative approach using questionnaire on diarrhoea. Pre experimental one group pre-test & post-test design was used. Convenient sampling technique was used to select 30 samples from the selected Anganwadi in Lucknow. Initially researcher got permission for study from concern authorities. Pre-test done followed by structured teaching program on prevention and home management of diarrhoea for 50 min followed by 10 min session of question and answer. A post-test was conducted after 2 weeks of structured teaching program. The tools used for data collection, part 1: demographic variables, part 2: assessing knowledge on home management of diarrhoea. Results: the pre-test mean value of knowledge 23±1.9 was lesser than post-test mean value 23.62±1.75. The effectiveness of STP, the obtained, “t” test value is -9.469. which is found to be greater than the, “t” table value (p=0.000 < 0.01 level) at 29df. Since the obtained t value is significant at p < 0.01 level, therefore research hypotheses (H1) is accepted. It is inferred that, there is significant difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge regarding diarrhoea among mothers of under five year children. Conclusion: The study concludes that the structured teaching program was very effective in providing knowledge prevention and home management of diarrhoea among mothers.
