Abstract

Sore nipples are a common issue that can affect people of all ages and genders. This discomfort may occur due to a variety of causes, ranging from hormonal changes and breastfeeding to friction from clothing or certain skin conditions. While sore nipples are often a temporary issue, they can sometimes indicate an underlying health problem that requires attention. In this study

1. a) To assess the existing knowledge regarding application of breast milk to promote healing of sore nipple among 3^rd year GNM students at selected nursing schools b) To evaluate the effectiveness of self instructional module on knowledge regarding application of breast milk to promote healing of sore nipple among 3^rd year GNM students at selected nursing schools c) To associate the knowledge score with the selected demographic variables . A quantitative approach and a quasi experimental design one group pretest and post test design was used for the structured questionnaire was used to collect the data including demographic variable of the study participate. 100 study participate were selected by using non probability convenient sampling technique. The pre test the mean of the knowledge score obtained by 3^rd year GNM students was 8.08 and post test it raises to19.06. The knowledge score of the 3^rd year GNM students shows marked improvement after giving self instructional module. It is evident that the calculated‘t’ value is (t=10.20) greater than the table value of‘t’ (1.98) at 0.05 level of significance. Hence it is statistically interpreted that the self instructional module on application of breast milk to promote healing of sore nipple among 3^rdyear GNM students at selected nursing schools is effective.
