Abstract
“A study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Video Assisted Teaching Programme regarding Mindfulness Meditation on Anxiety in Primary Care Givers of Terminally Ill Cancer Patients at Selected Cancer Centre, Salem”. Evaluative approach with Pre experimental (one group pre test and post test) design was used. The study was conducted at Sharon Cancer Centre, Salem. The sample size was 30 and was selected by non probability convenience sampling technique. Charles Spiels Berger’s Anxiety Scale was used to assess the level of anxiety. Video assisted teaching programme on mindfulness meditation was demonstrated. Analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study findings revealed in pretest among 30 sample 28 (93.44%) of them had severe anxiety and 2(6.66%) had profound anxiety. In post test 30(100%) of them had moderate anxiety. The mean was 69.57 (±5.14) and 37.97 (± 4.48) in pre test and post test respectively. It was statistically highly significant. The obtained Paired “t” value (t=26.22) shows that mindfulness meditation was effective to reducing the level of anxiety in primary care givers of terminally ill cancer patients. There is no significant association in the level of anxiety in primary care givers of terminally ill cancer patients with their demographic variables like age, sex, education, religion, occupation, economic status, marital status and type of relationship with the patients.
