Exclusion criteria a) Staff Nurses of COVID patients having visual and hearing defects. b) Staff Nurses of COVID patients who are absent at the time of the study. V. D iscussion Based on the objectives of the study, the findings of the pre-test knowledge score of staff nurses of COVID patients regarding COVID prevention shows that they were able to answer the questions up to some extent. In pre-test, staff nurses were having average 35% of knowledge in control group and 37.42% in experimental group in overall aspects. Staff Nurse’s pre- test level of knowledge on COVID prevention shows 80% Poor, 15% Average, 5% Good in control group whereas 75% Poor, 20% Average and 5% Good in experimental group. Considering the aspects of COVID prevention, they are having below average knowledge. Based on knowledge of staff nurses of COVID patients regarding COVID prevention above part of the study, findings of the post-test knowledge score of the staff nurses of COVID patients regarding COVID prevention shows that, staff nurses got 80.29% of overall score in experimental group after VAT. Post-test level of knowledge on COVID prevention says that 7.5% of them were having Average knowledge, 62.5% of staff nurses gained Good knowledge and 30% of them had Very good knowledge in experimental group and 60% Poor, 30% Average, and 10% Good knowledge in control group. Considering the post-test scores, staff nurses have shown adequate knowledge on all aspects in experimental group. Based on the effectiveness of Video Assisted Teaching (VAT) regarding COVID prevention between the experimental & control group, the findings show significant increase in the post-test knowledge score after the administration of VAT. The post-test knowledge score in control group was 35.86% and the post-test knowledge score in experimental group was 80.29%. The difference between pre-test and post-test score was 44.43% in experimental group. In pre-test 35.86% of staff nurses were having inadequate knowledge in experimental group. After the administration of VAT, 80.29% staff nurses gained adequate knowledge in post-test. The result shows effectiveness of VAT on COVID prevention in experimental group. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Control group Experimental group 35 35.86 37.42 80.29 2.42 44.43 P e r c e n t a g e Mean % percentage Pretest Posttest Gain 32 Year 2022 Global Journal of Medical Research Volume XXII Issue I Version I ( D ) K © 2022 Global Journals A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Video Assisted Teaching (Vat) on Knowledge Regarding Prevention of Corona Virus among Staff Nurses Working in Ah & RC, B G Nagara, Karnataka Fig. 20: 3-D clustered column diagram representing effectiveness of video assisted teaching in experimental group.
