Materials and Methods: Pre experimental one group pre-test post -test design used to measures the knowledge of the mothers of under five children regarding home management of the diarrhea with application of the Self- Instructional Module.

Results: The overall mean knowledge score of pre- test and post- test, which reveals the post- test mean knowledge score was higher (72.6%) with standard deviation ± 10.2% when compared with pre- test mean knowledge score value which was (46.8%) with standard deviation ± 17.3%.

The statistical paired‘t’ test implies that the difference in the pre- test and post- test knowledge score found statistically significant at 5% level. The post-test mean knowledge difference was 25.8% with a paired‘t’ value of 15.69.
