Abstract

Introduction: Children and their families may be adversely affected by vision impairment, which is a major global public health issue.

Aim of the study: A study to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching program regarding detection of visual impairment in children’s among teachers. Research design: Quasi experimental-non equivalent control group pretest and posttest design was adopted.

Methodology: Non probability Purposive sampling technique was used to select 40 samples.The teachers knowledge were assessed by structured questionnaire regarding detection of visual impairment in children’s. Pretest was followed by administration of Video assisted teaching Program (VATP) regarding detection of visual impairment in children’s. The post-test was conducted by using same questionnaire. The data was analyzed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results: In experimental group the pre-test mean score was 17.9 ± 3.9. After the intervention of video assisted teaching program the mean post test knowledge score was 31.7± 1.9 The mean difference was 13.8. The obtained ‘t’ value 15.9 which was highly significant at p < 0.0001 level. There was statistically significant difference was found between the pre-test and post-test knowledge score among teachers. Also there is a significant association was found between pre test level of knowledge scores among teachers with demographic variables like gender and number of students using spectacles.

Conclusion: The study concluded that VATP was effective in improving the knowledge regarding detection of visual impairment in children’s among teachers.
