# Does teaching about PMS help students learn?

Yes. After the teaching programme, students' knowledge scores more than doubled.

 Early or limited evidence

60 nursing students (first and second year) in India

## What they did

60 nursing students in India were taught about PMS and its management. Their knowledge was tested before and after the teaching.

## What they found

Knowledge scores went up from an average of 5.32 before teaching to 12.6 after teaching.

## What it means for you

Teaching helps nursing students learn about PMS and how to manage it. The study was small, at only one college, and measured knowledge not actual symptom relief. There was no control group without teaching for comparison.
