The main aim of the present study was “To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on the knowledge regarding child abuse among school age children in selected school at Coimbatore”. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the existing knowledge on child abuse among school age children. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching regarding child abuse among the school age children. 3. To find out the association between the pretest knowledge level of the school age children with their selected demographic variables. HYPOTHESIS: H1: The mean post test knowledge level will be significantly higher than mean pre test knowledge level of the school age children. H2: There will be significant association between the pretest knowledge level of the school age children with their selected demographic variables. METHODOLOGY: Methodology is the systematic, theoretic analysis of the methods, applied to the field of research. It comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associate with a branch of knowledge. It was a quantitative study. Pre experimental. one group pre test-post test design was used. Probability systematic random sampling technique was used to select the samples. The sample consists of 30 school age children studying class VI, VII and VIII from kalaivani model matriculation school who came under the inclusion criteria. The prepared tool and teaching module was validated by the experts of medical and nursing professionals. Pilot study was done and the tool was found to be reliable. Pre test was conducted by using self administered questionnaire. Video assisted teaching was implemented and the post test was conducted after a period of one week. Data analysis was done by computing frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, paired ‘t’ test and chisquare test. RESULTS: The significant findings of the study are, • Among the samples with regards to the age 10-11years (33.3%), 11-12 years (33.3%) and 12-13 years (33.4%). • Among the samples with regards to class of study VI standard (33.3%), VII standard (33.3%) and VIII standard (33.4%). • Among the samples with regards to religion Hindus (43.3%), Muslims (23.4%) Christians (26.6%) and others (6.7%). • Among the samples with regards to number of siblings, one (46.6%), two (36.6%), three and above (6.7) and none (10.1%). • Among the samples with regards to ordinal position in their family, first (40%), middle (30%) and last (30%). • Among the samples with regards to head of the family, father (83.2%), mother (10.1%) and other (6.7%). • Among the samples with regards to family living status, (83.2%) of children living with both the parents , (10.1%) living with single parent and (6.7%) living with relatives. • Among the samples with regards to ordinal position in their family, first child (40%), middle child (30%) and last child (30%). • Among the samples with regards to occupation of the father /guardian, professionals (23.4%), skilled (53.2%) and unskilled (23.4%). • Among the samples with regards to the father /guardian monthly income, (16.6%) earns ten thousand rupees, (60%) earns ten thousand to twenty thousand rupees and (23.4%) earns more than twenty thousand rupees. • Among the samples with regards to unhealthy habits of father/ guardian, alcoholism (20%), smoking (16.6%), both (10.1%) and none (53.3%). • Among the samples with regards to the type of family, nuclear family (63.3%), joint family (23.3%) and extended family (13.4%). • Among the samples with regards to number of family members, less than 4 members (50%), 4-6 members (33.4%) and more than 6 members (16.6%). • Among the samples with regards to the previous source of information on child abuse, (16.6%) received information from parent, (10%) from media, (6.7%) from health professionals and (66.7%) have not received any information regarding child abuse. • The findings shows that among the 30 school age children, 20 (66.7%) had inadequate knowledge, 10 (33.3%) had moderate knowledge and 0 (0%) had adequate knowledge in the pretest. The level of knowledge was improved after intervention and in the post test 13 (43.3%) had moderate knowledge and 17 (56.7%) had adequate knowledge. • The findings revealed that, among the school age children the pretest mean was 9.7 and the posttest mean was 21, so mean difference 11.3 was a true difference and the standard deviation of pretest was 3.4 and posttest was 2.9. The calculated paired ‘t’ value was 26 was highly significant than the table value (2.6) at 0.05 level. Hence the stated hypothesis was accepted. • The findings suggested that there was a significant association between the pretest level of knowledge score with their selected demographic variables such as education of the parent and source of information. • The following conclusion was drawn from the study. The study proved that video assisted teaching on child abuse was effective in improving the knowledge of the school age children.
