Abstract
Occupational hazard is one of the most important health problems in the world, especially in developing countries. WHO estimated that about 200,000 per year people are affected with occupational hazards. A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding occupational hazards and its prevention among cotton mill workers at selected Industries, Salem. The design adopted was quasiexperimental (pre and post test with control group) research design. Settings of the study was Kandagiri spinning mill Udayapatti, Unit-I as experimental group and Unit-II Mettupatti, Salem as control group. The sample size was 60 and selected through non-probability convenience sampling technique by using structured interview schedule. Samples were analysed by descriptive and inferential statistical methods and interpretation were made based on the objectives. In experimental group, 5 (16.67%) had moderately adequate knowledge and majority of them 25 (83.33%) had inadequate knowledge during pre test. During post test highest percentage of the samples 20 (66.67%) had adequate knowledge, and 10 (33.33%) had moderately adequate knowledge. In control group, 3 (10%) had moderately adequate knowledge and majority of them 27 (90%) had inadequate knowledge during pre test. During post test, 5 (16.67%) had moderately adequate knowledge and majority of them 25 (83.33%) had inadequate knowledge. The mean difference on knowledge regarding occupational hazards and its prevention in experimental group before and after intervention was 12.37 and the estimated paired ‘t’ value 5.30 was significantly higher than the table value 2.05 at p≤0.05 level. Hence H1 was retained. The post test mean difference on knowledge regarding occupational hazards and its prevention between the experimental and control group was 13.05 and the estimated independent ‘t’ value 13.36 was significantly higher than the table value 2.75 at p≤0.05 level. Hence H2was retained, which showed that the video assisted teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge regarding occupational hazards and its prevention. There was no significant association between the pre test scores on knowledge regarding occupational hazards and its prevention among cotton mill workers and their selected demographic variables. Hence, hypothesis H3 was rejected at p≥0.05 level.
