AIM: Effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding risk factors of dysfunctional uterine bleeding among women Method: This was pre experimental study with 50 subjects, selected through simple random sampling technique. One group pre test post test design was used. Data was collected using a Structured Closed Ended Questionnaire with interview schedule. Data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistical in terms of mean, frequency distribution, percentage, ‘t’ test and chi-square test. Results: The overall findings reveal that the post-test knowledge score (26.32±7.46) was more when compared to the pre-test knowledge score (11.12±4.02). Hence it indicates that the PTP was effective in enhancing the knowledge of women regarding selected risk factors of dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
