ABSTRACT:
A study conducted at P.E.S Hospital in Kuppam, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, aimed to assess the level of knowledge regarding geriatric health problems and its management among elderly. The study employed a descriptive design, selecting a sample of 30 elderly patients admitted to the multispecialty hospital through convenient sampling. The objectives were to assess demographic variables, evaluate knowledge regarding geriatric problems and management, and associate the level of knowledge. The results, analyzed using descriptive statistics, revealed that the knowledge of geriatric health problems significantly improved after a structured teaching program. The study concludes that implementing regular educational programs for geriatric patients and enhancing healthcare provider training on geriatric care can improve outcomes. Future research directions include expanding the sample size, comparing knowledge levels pre- and post-intervention, and investigating the effectiveness of different educational interventions.
