The present study was designed to enhance the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on PPIUCD (post-placental intrauterine contraceptive device) among primigravida mothers in selected MCH (Maternal and child health) Centre. An evaluative research design and Quasi-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was adapted to conduct the study, a pre-test questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge, structured teaching programme was conducted with the help of Flexies. The results revealed that there is a significant difference in pre-test and post-test knowledge scores. Pre-test mean score was 15.09, standard deviation was 3.340 and in post test mean was 25.75, and standard deviation was 2.238. paired‘t’ test values shows that it is invariably significant at p<0.01. A significant Association was found between the knowledge on demographic variables such as with the c2 value 4.828, which is significant at the level of 0.05 in pre-test, where as in post-test knowledge scores the demographic variables such as occupation with the c2 value 24.40, which is significant at 0.005 and income with c2 value of 13.81, which is significant at 0.001.
