Abstract
Background: According to WHO, health is a state of complete physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing and not merely in absence of disease or infirmity. But acne significantly affects physical and psychological wellbeing. Clients who have visible chronic skin problems often withdraw from social situations and have increased social isolation. When these clients seek professional care for skin problems, psychosocial as well as physical concerns need to be met. In our society physical appearance is given very much importance and influences the way in which we are perceived by others. The skin is the most visible organ of the body and determines to a larger extent, our appearance with a wide function in social and sexual communication.
Methods: 30 adolescent students were selected from Muslim Modal Educational Trust school Pulwama, Kashmir. Purposive sampling technique was used for selecting the sample. A self structured questionnaire was used for data collection.
Results: The findings revealed that among demographic variables, most of the subjects were in the age group of 12-15 years (73.3%) and 26.7% of them were in the age group of 16-19 years. The pre test knowledge score shows that 3 (10%) of the participants had poor knowledge. 27(90%) had average knowledge, and 0 participants had good knowledge. Similarly post test knowledge score shows that 0 (0%) of the participants had poor knowledge, 7 (23.3%) had average knowledge, and 23(76.7%) had good knowledge. This indicates that mean post test knowledge score is higher than mean pre test knowledge score. The obtained t value 10.659 is significant at P less than 0.05.
