Abstract
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM : A pre experimental study to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching upon awareness and compliance of menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents in special schools at Chennai. OBJECTIVES OF THIS STUDY : 1. To assess the awareness and compliance regarding menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching upon awareness of menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents. 3. To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching upon compliance with menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents. 4. To find out the correlation between the awareness scores and the compliance scores regarding menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents. 5. To assess the level of satisfaction regarding video assisted teaching programme among intellectually disabled adolescents. 6. To find out the association between selected demographic variables and level of awareness on menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents. 7. To find out the association between selected demographic variables and level of compliance on menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents. The study was carried out upon 30 intellectually disabled adolescent, students at Chennai. Tools such as Demographical variable Performa, Menstrual history Performa, and Tool for assessing the awareness of menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents, Tool for assessing the compliance with menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents, and Rating scale on level of satisfaction of video assisted teaching were used by the researcher to collect data. The content validity was obtained from various experts and Reliability of the awareness tool was (test retest) r =0.8, which indicates the reliability of the tool. The main study was conducted after the pilot study. The level of awareness and compliance was assessed before and after video assisted teaching to the group of intellectually disabled adolescents. Video assisted teaching was administered for a 4 hour session, 2 hours each day on two consecutive days by lecture cum discussion using the video. After 40 days, the level of awareness and compliance was assessed by the researcher. Then the level of satisfaction on video assisted teaching was also assessed by satisfaction scale. The data obtained were analyzed using Descriptive and Inferential stratifications. MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY : Study findings indicate that 46.7% of participants in the age group 14-15 years and belonged to joint family 70%. A majority of them were illiterates 63.3%, home makers were 80% and their income was not known 70%, had previous knowledge about menstrual hygiene 73.3%,and the source of information was from the teacher 56.7%. The study findings indicate that, awareness was poor in pre-test 100%, where as in it was average 63.3% in the posttest majority. The study findings indicate that, their compliance was totally poor in pretest 100%, where us in post –test most of their compliance was average 90%. The study findings also reveal, mean score of awareness on menstrual hygiene as higher in post test (8.5) than the pre-test score (4.06) which was statistically significant (p<0.001). It can be attributed to the effectiveness of intervention on improving the knowledge. Hence the null hypothesis Ho1, “there will be no significant difference in the awareness on menstrual hygiene between before and after video assisted teaching among intellectually disabled adolescents”, is rejected. The study findings revealed, mean score of compliance with menstrual hygiene as higher in post test (12.2) than the pre-test scores (6.5) which was statistically significant (p<0.001).It can be attributed to the effectiveness of intervention on improving the compliance. Hence the null hypothesis Ho2, “there will be no significant difference in the compliance on menstrual hygiene between before and after video assisted teaching among intellectually disabled adolescents”, is rejected The findings imply the presence of a positive correlation (r=0.12),(r=0.13)between the awareness and compliance respectively regarding menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents in pre test and post test (respectively). There was no significant association between the selected variables and levels of awareness on menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents. Hence the Ho4, “there will be no significant association between the selected demographic variables and awareness on menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents”, is accepted. There was also no significant association between the selected variables and levels of compliance on menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents. Hence the Ho5, “there will be no significant association between the selected demographic variables and awareness on menstrual hygiene among intellectually disabled adolescents”, is accepted. RECOMMENDATIONS : 1. The study can be conducted on a large sample to enable generalization the findings. 2. The study can be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the video assisted program on menstrual hygiene as a teaching aid in health education for other differently abled children. 3. The study can be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the alternate learning modalities in improving hygiene compliance for all the differently abled children. 4. A survey can be done on intellectually disabled adolescent girls to assess the compliance and difficulties during menstruation. 5. A study can be conducted to assess the level of awareness on menstrual hygiene among care takers and teachers of the differently abled.
