Abstract
”Mosquitoes are worse than Tigers”and It’s very difficult to control Dengue fever until it subside denguefever has been main health problem of the world.This study assess the effectiveness of video teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding control and prevention of Dengue fever among Housewive in selected rural area at Namakkal district. OBJECTIVES: 1) To assess the pre test knowledge and practice regarding control and prevention of Dengue fever, 2) to deliver the video teaching programme regarding control and prevention of Dengue fever, 3) to assess the post test knowledge and practice regarding control and prevention of Dengue fever, 4) to evaluate the effectiveness of video teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding control and prevention of Dengue fever. 5) to find out the correlation between the knowledge and practice regarding control and prevention of Dengue fever, 6) to find out the association between post test scores of knowledge and practice with demographic variables. METHOOLOGY: The study was conducted in olapalayam rural community, Namakkal district. The research design used for this study was Quasi- experimental (one group pre test post test). 50 samples were selected through convenience sampling technique. A structured interview schedule and observational check list was used to collect the data on knowledge and practice regarding control and prevention of Dengue fever among Housewives for pre test followed by that video teaching programme on control and prevention of Dengue fever has been given. Post test was conducted after an interval of one week by using the same questionnaire and observational check list. The data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. FINIDINGS: The demographic variables associated on the basis of knowledge are age (8.73>7.82) Educational status (9.52>7.82), Income (8.08>7, 82), Source of information (10.72>7.82), Type of solid waste disposal (8.39>7.82) and the demographic variables associated on the basis of practice are income (11.48>7.82),Source of information (11.0>7.82), type of solid waste disposal (8.76>7.82) on control and prevention of Dengue fever. Pretest knowledge level was assessed among Housewive, mean was 12.14, standard deviation 3.4 and the overall knowledge of mean percentage was 40% that shows the Housewives were in inadequate knowledge. Pretest level of practice score was 8 inadequate, mean was 9.8, standard deviation was 2.6. The overall practice mean percentage was 49% Post test knowledge score in mean 19.9 and standard deviation 2.81. The overall knowledge of mean percentage was 66% that shows adequate knowledge after video teaching programme., Post test practice score in mean 16.3and standard deviation 2.0 .The overall practice mean percentage was 82% that shows adequate practice after video teaching programme.,Area wise calculation of knowledge level was assessed. The post test mean percentage for definition of Dengue fever 73%, causes of Dengue fever was 63%, mode of transmission of Dengue fever was 65%, signs& symptoms of Dengue fever was 65%, complication of Dengue fever was 48%, and prevention of Dengue fever was 70%.Comparison of pre and post test level of knowledge was analyzed by using paired’t test. Calculated ‘t’ value was 14.8 (14.8>2.02) which was greater than table value. So it was significant at p>0.05level. Comparison of pre and posttest level of knowledge in area wise also analyzed by using paired’t test.Calculated‘t value for definition of Dengue fever 7.7>2.02, causes 14.6>2.02, mode of transmission 9.8>2.02, signs& symptoms 8.6>2.02, complication 4.0>2.02 and prevention of Dengue fever 6.0>2.02. Hence all the areas of knowledge were greater than the table value. So it was significant at p>0.05 level. Comparison of pre and post test level of practice was analyzed by using paired t test. Calculated‘t’ value was 16.2 (16.2>2.02) which was greater than table value. So it was significant at p>0.05level.Correlation between knowledge and practice was done by using Karl Pearson’s correlation method. The calculated r’ value was 0.62(0.62>0.28). The calculated r value was higher than the table value . Hence it was a positive correlation between knowledge and practice so knowledge of the disease reported a significant higher use of preventive measures on control and prevention of Dengue fever. Conclusion: The study proves that video teaching programme on control and prevention of dengue fever among Housewive was effective in improving the knowledge and practice.
