anganwadi helpers of ICDS" was conducted to assess the effect of training on
food safety measures on the knowledge, attitude and practices of the
anganwadi helpers of ICDS.
The study was carried out in two recently started ICDS projects namely
Kazhakkutam and Thiruvananthapuram Urban II. All the anganwadi helpers
in the functioning anganwadi centres of the two identified ICDS projects
formed the respondents for the study.
Based on the pretest score for knowledge, attitude and practice of the
respondents their lacunae in the field of food safety measures were identified
and a need based training was planned and carried out.
The results revealed that the training programme had significant effect
on the knowledge, attitude and practices of the anganwadi helpers.
The analysis of variance used to test the influence of socio-economic
and personal characteristics of the respondents on their knowledge, attitude
and practice revealed that tenure of service had significant influence on
changes in attitude.
The analysis of correlation coefficient of socio-economic situations of
the respondents with knowledge, attitude and practice revealed that there was
significant negative association with place of residence and tenure of service
with their knowledge level. Significant positive association was observed
with place of residence, family size and tenure of service with attitudinal
changes. The study also revealed significant positive association of pretest
scores of practice with place of residence and tenure of service. It was also
found that the infrastructure index of the anganwadi centres had significant
association with pretest knowledge score but not with post score.
Comparison of knowledge, attitude and practice scores of rural and
urban project based respondents indicated that the respondents of rural project
had more knowledge level when compared to the respondents of urban
project. It could be effectively elevated from the results that the respondents
of urban project had more attitude and practice level compared to the
respondents of rural project.
