Section -3 fi ndings related to eff ectiveness of structured teaching programmed on child abuse among secondary school students by comparing pre and post test knowledge score.
The mean post test knowledge score is 12.5 is greater than the means Pretest Knowledge score 5.97.
The data further represent that‘t’ value of Tabulated t pre test knowledge and pos� est knowledge value is more than calculated t value at 29 df for the 0.05 level of signifi cance. Therefore the null hypothesis is accepted. It means there was no association between pretest and pos� est knowledge levels.
The obtained‘t’ value 8.09 is greater than the table value at 0.05 level of signifi cant .Therefore‘t’
value is found to be signifi cant .Hence it is inferred that there is signifi cant diff erence between the pre test or post test knowledge score secondary school student regarding child abuse and the structural teaching programmed is eff ective in improving the knowledge of secondary school student .Hence research hypothesis H1 is accepted.

Section 4: Findings related to association between the pre test knowledge score and selected demographic variables on child abuse among secondary school students
This study revealed that the obtained tabulated chi-square value of all socio demographic data with pretest knowledge is more than calculated chi-square value at 0.05level of signifi cance. Therefore the null hypothesis is accepted. It means there was no signifi cant association between socio demographic data with pretest knowledge level.
CONCLUSION
A study was conducted by Reducing Vulnerability (Fink, 1998) and Keeping Kids Safe (Tobin & Kessner, 2002) were reviewed. These programs, as most do, varied in how, when, and who implemented them.
Most school prevention programs have the goals of teaching students how to say no to a person who inappropriately touches them, to leave the situation, and the importance of telling a trusted adult (Roberts
& Miltenberger, 1999).12
From the study fi ndings it can be concluded that children are the key persons of growing nation.
Nurses,who play a vital role in the promotion and maintenance of health they can provide adequate counseling .Health education is an important function of the health personnel. Nurses as resource persons working in the hospital and community se� ing should impart education especially on prevention of child abuse. The nursing curriculum should lay emphasis on knowledge on child abuse among secondary school students.So periodical health education programmed should be conducted by student nurses in hospitals, schools, community area as a part of curriculum and should motivate the students to participate actively.
