A quantitative pre-experimental research design (one-group pre-test post-test) was adopted. A total of 60 mothers of children aged 6–12 years were selected using convenient sampling technique from an urban community in Delhi. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire. The intervention involved the administration of a Structured Teaching Programme covering nutrition, physical activity, and risks of obesity. Post-test data were collected seven days after the intervention.
The findings revealed that in the pre-test, the majority of mothers (68.3%) had average knowledge, 21.7% had poor knowledge, and only 10% had good knowledge. Following the STP, the post-test scores improved significantly: 65% had good knowledge and 35% had average knowledge, with none remaining in the poor knowledge category. The mean pre-test knowledge score was $12.4 \pm 2.1$, which increased to $22.8 \pm 2.5$ in the post-test. The paired ‘t’ test showed a statistically significant difference ($t = 14.32, p < 0.05$). A significant association was found between pre-test knowledge scores and selected demographic variables such as education status and type of family. pediatric nursing by parul datta
