Abstract
A Study to evaluate the effectiveness of audio taped instruction on knowledge of safety measures among visually challenged children at selected blind school in Madurai. Visual impairment can be defined as any chronic visual deficit that impairs everyday function and is not corrected by conventional means, such as refractive correction, medication, or surgery. Assistive Technology can be very useful in improving the quality of life of a partially or totally blind individual. The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of Audio taped instruction on Knowledge of Safety measures among visually challenged children regarding safety measures and to associate the posttest knowledge scores regarding safety measures among visually challenged children with selected baseline variables. The investigator adopted general system theory (Ludwig Von Bertlanffy, 1968) for developing the Conceptual Framework. Quantitative Research approach with Pre Experimental Design- One Group Pre Test Post Test Design was selected for this study. Variables of the study were Base line variable (Age, Sex, Educational Status) Independent variable (Audio taped instruction) Dependent variable (Knowledge on safety measures). Purposive Sample of 60 samples were taken for the study at Indian Association of Blind. The group was assessed with the Structured questionnaire through interview schedule and audio taped instruction was played for 15 minutes (10 days) then post test was done with the same tool. RESULTS: Descriptive and Inferential Statistics were used to test the hypothesis. The Findings revealed that there was significant increase in Knowledge after intervention which was confirmed by Paired ‘t’ test (t = 54.20 and P < .001). Highly Significant association was noted between post test score of Knowledge and Educational status of visually challenged children at 0.01** level of significance. CONCLUSION: The findings revealed that there was a significant increase in knowledge after audio taped intervention regarding safety measures. Thus, the intervention has improved the Knowledge of visually challenged Children effectively.
