Abstract: Aims and Objectives: The research project aims to evaluate the efficacy of a planned education program on menopausal women's awareness of hormone replacement treatment.Methods: Pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was used to assess the efficacy planned education programme on knowledge regarding hormonal replacement therapy among menopausal women at selected rural areas in Mysore.The research was conducted using a non-probability convenient sampling strategy in the Mysore villages of Hanchaya and Rammanahalli, with the participation of sixty menopausal women. To get the necessary information, a structured knowledge questionnaire was used. Inferential and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.Result: In the knowledge assessment, the average score before the test was 7.43, while the average score after the test was 16.30. There was an 8.87 standard deviation in the pre-test and post-test scores. At the 5% significance level, the computed Paired 't' value was 18.25. This demonstrated the effectiveness of STP on menopausal women's awareness of hormone replacement treatment. Consequently, the study hypothesis (H1)—that is, the mean knowledge score from the pre- and post-tests differs significantly—is accepted.Interpretation and Conclusion: This study demonstrated the efficacy of planned education programme on hormonal replacement treatment in women going through menopause.
