Background of the study Respiratory tract infections are infectious disease involving the respiratory tract. An infection of this type usually is further classified as an upper respiratory tract infection (URI or URTI) or a lower respiratory tract infection (LRI or LRTI). Lower respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, tend to be far more severe than upper respiratory infections, such as the common cold. Except during the neonatal period, ARIs are the most common causes of both illness and mortality in children under five, who average three to six episodes of ARIs annually regardless of where they live or what their economic situation is . The common LRIs in children are pneumonia bronchiolitis and bronchitis. Method: Present study the researcher adopted a pre - experimental (one group pre-test post – research design) research design; in the present study the independent variable refers to the structured teaching program regarding pneumonia and bronchitis among mothers of under five children, in this present study the dependent variable refers to the knowledge of mother of under five children; the present study was conducted in selected areas of Rohtas; in the present study, the target population consisted of all Mothers of under five children of Rohtas city. In present study the samples were selected through non-probability convenient sampling technique. A structured knowledge questionnaire was developed by the investigator to assess the level of knowledge of Mothers of under five children. The final tool consisted of structured knowledge questionnaire which consists of two parts: Demographic section, Self-Structured knowledge questionnaire. The STP was developed according to the objectives prepared. The investigator prepared the overall plan of STP and A.V aids such as charts and blackboard. The reliability was calculated using split half method. The reliability (r = 0.812). Mean and standard deviation of pre-test and post-test knowledge score -‘t’ test to determine the significance of difference in before and after administration of structured teaching programme in knowledge score. Results: Most of the samples were in 21-30 years category at 43%; most of the samples were in 0- 1 year category at 44.3%; most of the samples were Illiterate category at 49%; most of the samples were in unskilled work category at 28.6%; most of the samples were in joint category at 30%; most of the samples were in Rs.30000-40000 category at 42.9%; most of the samples were in family & relatives category at 44%; in the pre test knowledge majority of the sample (n=56), 80% were in the average level; in the post test knowledge after STP, majority of the sample (n=49), 70% were in the average level; it was found that there was no association between the levels of knowledge regarding pneumonia and bronchitis with their socio demographic variables. Conclusion: In the pre test knowledge majority of the sample (n=56), 80% were in the average level; inadequate level (n=11), 15.7%; and adequate level (n=3), 4.3%. In the post test knowledge after STP, majority of the sample (n=49), 70% were in the average level; adequate level (n=13), 18.6%, and inadequate level (n=8), 11.4%. The study showed that STP had significant increase in the knowledge regarding pneumonia and bronchitis as the percentage of above average category in pre test was 4.3% which increased to 18.6% in post test after providing STP. Pertaining to association between socio demographic variables and knowledge regarding pneumonia and bronchitis no relation was found using Chi-squared test as all the values were more than 0.005.
