The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set the target to end deaths from preventable diseases among new-borns and children under five years old by 2030. India is one of the 15 highest burdened countries in terms of total pneumonia episodes and related childhood mortality. In India, around 400 000 children aged below five years die every year from ARI-related diseases. Title of the study was to evaluate effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge among mothers regarding prevention of acute respiratory tract infection of under 5 children in selected rural areas of Kanpur, U.P.” objective of the study was to assess the pretest knowledge regarding prevention of acute respiratory tract infection of under 5 children in selected rural areas of Kanpur, U.P. To assess the post-test knowledge regarding prevention of acute respiratory tract infection of under 5 children in selected rural areas of Kanpur, U.P. To assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention of acute respiratory tract infection of under 5 children in selected rural areas of Kanpur, U.P. To find out the association between pretest knowledge scores with their selected demographic variables. “Methodology adopted for the study was quantitative research approach with a pre-experimental one group pretest and posttest was adopted. In this study, the sample consists of 30 mothers of under 5 children who fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the study. The convenience sampling technique was used for this study. A structured Socio demographic variables and Knowledge questionnaire on prevention of acute respiratory tract infection were selected based on the objectives of the study. The tools are prepared in two sections. Section A was socio- demographic data, and the Section –B was Knowledge questionnaire on prevention of acute respiratory tract infection. Validity of the tool was established with experts. Pilot study was conducted on young adults from 03-04-2024 to 20-04-2024 to assess the tools feasibility and it was found to be feasible to collect the required information. For the main study the data collected from 25-05-2024 to 25-06-2024 from mothers of under 5 children who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The collected data was tabulated according to various parameters and the complete analysis was done with descriptive and inferential statistics. Paired t test used to assess the effectiveness of STP on knowledge regarding prevention of acute respiratory tract infection and the obtained value was 23.38 and the table value was 1.68 at 0.05 level of confidence. Since the obtained value greater than the table value STP was effective So, the H1 hypothesis was accepted. The investigator concluded the planned teaching programme was effective. The chi-square calculation explains that there was a significant association between pre test knowledge level and the sociodemographic variables such as educational status and occupational status as the chi-square value was greater than the table value at 0.05 level of significance.
