In experimental group pre-test score was 6.8 and post-test score was 18.53333 and standard deviation of pre-test score was 1.681269 and standard deviation of posttest score was 1.627541 and calculated ‘t’ score was 26.02, and the tabulated ‘t’ value is 2.05. In experimental group score of post-test is higher than pre-test and mean difference 11.7333, which is statistically proved that the planned teaching programme  regarding effectiveness of informational booklet regarding Alzheimer disease.
