Abstract
A Study was conducted “To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on knowledge and attitude regarding prevention of worm infestation among mothers of toddlers in selected hospitals at Dindigul District” was done by D.J.Dini as a partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of science in Nursing to the Tamilnadu Dr.M.G.R. Medical University, Chennai during the year 2014-2016. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of the study were, to assess the pre and post test level of knowledge and attitude on prevention of worm infestation among mothers of toddlers in control and experimental group, to evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on knowledge and attitude on prevention of worm infestation among mothers of toddlers in experimental group, to correlate the knowledge and attitude on prevention of worm infestation among mothers of toddler, to determine the association between knowledge and attitude on prevention of worm infestation and their selected demographic variables. METHODOLOGY: In this study a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group pre test- post test design was adopted . Purposive sampling technique was used to select 30 samples in experimental and 30 samples in control group. Self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect the demographic variables and to assess knowledge on prevention of worm infestation and to assess the level of attitude a modified Likert scale was used. RESULT: The result showed that majority of the mothers in the control group 22(73.3%) mothers had inadequate knowledge, 8(26.7%) mothers had moderately adequate knowledge and none of the mothers had adequate knowledge in pre test and post test. Where as in experimental group the knowledge of the mothers of toddlers were 23(76.7%) mothers of toddlers had inadequate knowledge, 7(23.3%) of the mothers had moderately adequate knowledge and none of them had adequate knowledge in the pre-test. In the post test findings majority of the mothers 27 (90%) had adequate knowledge, 3(10%) of the mothers had moderately adequate knowledge and none of the mothers had inadequate knowledge. Finding revealed that in control group 25(83%) mothers had unfavourable attitude, 5(17%) mothers had moderately favourable attitude and none of the mothers had highly favourable attitude in the pre test. In post test 24(82%) mothers had unfavourable attitude, 6 (18%) mothers had moderately favourable attitude and none of the mothers had favourable attitude. FINDING: Finding shows that in experimental group 17(56.7%) mothers had unfavourable attitude, 13(43.3%) of the mothers had moderately favourable attitude and none of the mothers had highly favourable attitude in the pre test experimental group. In post test 28 (93.3%) of the mothers had favourable attitude, 2 (6.7%) of the mothers had moderately favourable attitude and none of the mothers had unfavourable attitude. Finding shown that the mean score of knowledge and attitude in the post test were greater than the mean score of the pre test. The obtained “t-value” was highly significant at P<0.05 level. The relationship between the level of knowledge and attitude were found to have positive correlations (r=0.1767 ) in the experimental group. There was statistically significant association at the level of P<0.05 between knowledge of mothers of toddlers , and the place of defecation in the experimental group. There was statistically significant association at the level of P<0.05 between attitude of mothers of toddlers and the monthly income in the experimental group. There was no statistically significant association at the level of P<0.05 between knowledge of mothers of toddlers and their selected demographic variables in the control group. There was no statically significant association at the level of P<0.05 between attitude of mothers of toddlers in the control group. The above findings supported that the video assisted teaching helped to give adequate knowledge and develop favorable attitude regarding prevention of worm infestation among mothers of toddlers.
