EFFECTIVENESS OF VIDEO ASSISTED TEACHING PROGRAMME ON KNOWLEDGE REGARDING ADULT CPR AMONG UNDER GRADUATE STUDENTS IN SELECTED COLLEGES

Abstract

Background: Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation is one of the most commonly performed medical 
interventions. Knowledge of CPR (Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation) is very necessary for 
performing first aid procedure.  
Objective: to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching program on knowledge 
regarding adult CPR among undergraduate students.  
Methodology: The study was conducted in the month of september2019. The pre-experimental 
study was conducted with the technique of convenient sampling on 100 undergraduate students. 
Results: As per pretest knowledge of undergraduate students, 74% of students have average 
knowledge and 24% have poor knowledge and only 2% have good knowledge.  After video 
assisted teaching program, posttest had conducted and results revealed that majority (75%) of 
students has average knowledge, and 24% students have good knowledge and only 1% students 
have poor knowledge. Thereafter, paired t test was used to identify the pre and post knowledge 
scores of the undergraduate students regarding adult CPR. The finding show the significance 
difference, in pretest the score obtained is 44.27% and in posttest the score is 62.07%. The 
difference is 17.80. It shows that the video assisted program that we gave was effective. Chi
square test was used to assess the relationship of knowledge scores regarding adult CPR with the 
socio demographic variables such as age, gender, residence, type of family, previous knowledge 
regarding adult CPR, source of knowledge regarding adult CPR etc.
