EFFECTIVENESS OF VIDEO ASSISTED STRUCTURED TEACHING ON KNOWLEDGE OF PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLE EXERCISES AMONG ANTENATAL MOTHERS AT MGMH, PETLABURZ, HYDERABADAbstract
An experimental study was undertaken to assess the Effectiveness of Video Assisted Structured Teaching on Knowledge of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises among Antenatal mothers At MGMH, Petlaburz, and Hyderabad. Objectives of the study – 1) Assess the knowledge of Antenatal Mothers regarding Pelvic floor muscle exercises by pre test.2) Develop and Conduct Video assisted structured teaching on Knowledge of Pelvic floor muscle exercises to antenatal mothers admitted at MGMH, Petlaburz, Hyderabad. 3) Analyze the effectiveness of Video assisted structured teaching on knowledge of Pelvic floor muscle exercises among antenatal mothers by conducting post test. 4) Associate between the knowledge of Antenatal mothers regarding pelvic floor muscle exercises among antenatal mothers with selected variables.
There was an improvement of knowledge scores from pre test to post test and the obtained Mean was 15.28 and after VAST the post test Mean was 28.54. It is indicated that significant difference between the pre test and post test scores on knowledge of antenatal mothers regarding Pelvic floor muscle exercises. The computed paired‘t’ value of pre test and post test Knowledge is 15.664. The Chi sqare shows there is a significant relationship between Knowledge of Antenatal mothers and when compared with Age, Education and Period of gestation and there was a significant difference in pre test scores and post test scores. The obtained chi square value is 46.000 at df=2 at p< 0.05 level of significance. As the obtained value is greater than the table value there is significant difference in the pre test and post test scores so that the Null Hypothesis was rejected and Research Hypothesis is accepted.
