Female reproductive cancer is cancer of the organs related to female reproductive system. In order to identify these cancers in early stage women needs to have knowledge regarding warning signs of these cancers. Possessing knowledge helps to reduce mortality and enhances number of cure rate among women’s at risk of reproductive cancer and it is one of the prime responsibility of all health care personnel’s to disseminate information regarding warning signs and prevention of reproductive cancer. The present investigation was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding warning signs and prevention of reproductive cancer among female non health professionals working in selected hospital and to find out the association between the pre test knowledge score regarding warning signs and prevention of reproductive cancer and their selected demographic variables. The research design used in the study was pre – experimental one group pre-test post-test and non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to draw sample. The data was collected from 60 non health professionals using the structured knowledge questionnaire. Structured teaching programme was conducted and post-test was administered after 7 days using the same structured knowledge questionnaire to find out the effectiveness of structured teaching programme. The results revealed that the overall mean percentage knowledge score in the pre-test and post-test were 34% and 74.56% respectively. Enhancement mean percentage knowledge score was found to be 40.56%. The statistical paired ‘t’ test (t= 44.44) indicates that enhancement in the mean percentage knowledge score was found to be significant at 0.05 level for all the aspects under study. The association found to be significant between pre-test knowledge scores & selected socio demographic variables such as age, educational status, occupation, monthly income, and information regarding reproductive cancer at 0.05 levels (P< 0.05). There is no significant association and some demographical variable such as religion, marital status and family history of cancer, presence of children.
