Effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding thyroid disorder among women

Abstract

There is a paucity of data on the Knowledge, Awareness and Practices (KAP) among these patients. Such studies will help the physician to concentrate on these specific issues during their interaction with the patients. Women are generally prone to develop hypothyroidism, but especially during puberty, first menstruation, pregnancy, within the first six months after giving birth, and during menopause.
