Abstract

This study investigates the knowledge level of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) in delivering healthcare services within rural communities in India. Utilizing a descriptive research methodology, data was collected from 25 ASHA workers in the urban area of Mirzapur district, Uttar Pradesh. The study assesses ASHAs' knowledge through a semi-structured interview schedule covering various aspects of maternal and child health, family planning, and general healthcare practices. Findings reveal that ASHAs demonstrate a commendable understanding of essential healthcare practices, particularly in maternal and child health and family planning domains. However, certain areas, such as identifying at-risk babies and understanding non-communicable diseases, indicate opportunities for further training and support. Overall, the study underscores the pivotal role of ASHAs in delivering essential healthcare services and highlights the importance of continuous training and skill development to enhance their effectiveness in addressing evolving healthcare challenges in rural India.
