A Study To Assess The Effectiveness Of Video Assisted Teaching programme (Vat) On Knowledge Regarding Care Of Unconscious Patients Among Staff Nurses Working In Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

The unconscious patient presents a number of challenges for medical professionals, including rapid care, diagnosis, specialised therapy, and the ability to anticipate prognosis. It is necessary to have a strategy that is both methodical and logical, with an emphasis on working together.

Aim and the Objectives: The purpose of this project is to create a video-assisted education programme for the staff nurses working in the intensive care unit so that they may test their knowledge about how to care for unconscious patients. Objectives Prior to the intervention, it is necessary to conduct a knowledge assessment of the staff nurses working in the critical care unit concerning the care of patients who are unconscious. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not the video-assisted education programme improved the knowledge of staff nurses working in the critical care unit about how to care for unconscious patients following the intervention. & The purpose of this study is to determine the association between the knowledge of the staff nurses and certain socio-demographic statistics.

Methods and Materials: The sample for the current research was comprised of staff nurses who were employed in the intensive care unit of Krishna Hospital in Karad. In this particular study, the approach of purposive sampling has been applied. The samples are collected in a manner comparable to that of a lottery and are chosen at random according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. There were a total of sixty staff nurses that participated in the study.

The findings of this study showed that the knowledge score of the nurses who had written the pre-test had been low. According to the findings of this study, the mean score on the pre-test was significantly lower than the score on the post-test.

 Result: As a result of participating in the video assisted training programme, the nurses in this study saw their post-test scores rise from poor to fair to good. This was one of the findings of the current study. In the current investigation, it was found that the mean score on the pre-test was 15.1, but the mean score on the post-test was high. This difference was significant. When the scores from the pre-test and the post-test were compared, it was clear that there was a substantial improvement in the staff nurses' overall level of knowledge. Therefore, it appears that after implementing the video assisted training programme, a significant impact was given to the improvement in the knowledge score of staff nurses. Conclusion: The conclusion that can be drawn from this is that the programme of video-assisted instruction was successful.
