Abstract:
Overall, the text offers an in-depth exploration of the multifaceted implications of mobile phone technology, from its role in communication evolution to its impact on health, education, and society. The presented study aims to assess the impact and effectiveness of an informational guide sheet on enhancing the knowledge of second-year management students regarding the impact of mobile phone use on health status. The study focuses on evaluating the knowledge levels of students, implementing an intervention in the form of an informational guide sheet, and analyzing the resulting changes in knowledge. The study population consists of second-year students at the College of Management, Bareilly, with a sample size of 60 students. A pre-experimental design is employed, utilizing pretest and posttest questionnaires to measure students' knowledge levels before and after the intervention. The data is collected through a self-administered questionnaire and observation. The results reveal that the majority of respondents exhibited inadequate knowledge about the impact of mobile phone use on health status in the pretest. However, after the intervention, there was a significant improvement in knowledge levels, with the majority of respondents demonstrating adequate knowledge in the posttest. The mean pretest knowledge score was notably lower than the mean posttest knowledge score, indicating the effectiveness of the informational guide sheet. The study also explores associations between demographic variables and knowledge scores, revealing significant links with factors such as age, gender, course of study, place of residence, and occupation of the mother. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of providing informational resources to students to enhance their knowledge regarding the impact of mobile phone use on health status. The findings underscore the role of education and awareness in improving students' understanding of potential health risks associated with mobile phone use. The study recommends further research on a larger scale and suggests implementing similar educational interventions in various contexts to address the knowledge gap concerning mobile phone usage and health effects.
