Introduction: Adolescent girls often have lack of knowledge and practices regarding reproductive health including menstruation. Objectives: To evaluate effectiveness of structured teaching program (STP) to increase level of knowledge and practices on menstrual hygiene among adolescent school girls. Methodology: Pre-experimental one group pre-posttest study design was applied in four government schools using power analysis for sample size calculation. Data were re- checked for its consistency and analyzed. Descriptive statistical methods were used for describing sample characteristic and inferential statistics was used to evaluate effectiveness of STP. Chi-squared test was used to examine association between selected demographic variables and pretest knowledge level of adolescent girls on menstrual hygiene. Result: The mean age of participants was 13.79 ±1.3 years (range from 11-18 years).  Distribution of pre-test knowledge among respondents regarding menstrual hygiene showed, 49.21% moderate and 50.79% adequate knowledge respectively. In the case of post-test, all of them demonstrated adequate knowledge and none of them showed inadequate knowledge. Pre-test practices among respondents regarding menstrual hygiene recorded as 3.75% inadequate, 61.25% moderate and 35.0% adequate practices. The pre-test mean score for the level of knowledge was 13.36±1.64, whereas the post-test mean score was 15.8±0.73. Practice related pre-test mean score was 10.66±1.81 in comparison to, post-test mean score 13.34±0.75. There was no significant association found between knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene among adolescents with socio-demographic variables at p<0.05 level. Conclusion: It is concluded that the Structured Teaching Program is an effective strategy to improve knowledge and practice regarding menstrual hygiene for adolescent girls.

The researcher conducted a quasi-experimental study on menstruation and menstrual hygiene among the adolescent girls at primary girls’ school (ajarpura kanyasala) under Anand district Gujarat. The study was intended to see the impact of a structured teaching programme in improving the knowledge of adolescent girls specific to rural areas. The objectives of the study were to assess the existing knowledge, to develop a structured teaching program on menstruation and menstrual hygiene, to assess the knowledge after implementation of structured teaching programmes and to find out the association between the knowledge score of the respondent with the selected demographic variables. The quantitative research approach was used with one group pre-test post-test- quasi experimental research design. The sample of 50 was drawn using probability sampling technique. The tool used was structured knowledge questionnaire. The result shows that majority of the respondents were (92%) in the age group of 12-13 years, most of the respondents (90%) were Hindu religion, the family income for most of the respondent (64%) falls in between Rs. 2000-3000, almost half of the respondents were having an elder female sibling (52%), and initial assessment reveals most of the respondents were (82%) having some knowledge about menstruation and menstrual hygiene. The finding shows significant difference between mean pre-test score (15.56) and post test score (27.80) which also reveals the importance of right information is needed to this group to discard any irrelevant practices. The association with certain demographic variables (age, family income, elder female sibling, information about menstruation) also established at 0.05 level of significance.
