Effectiveness of video assisted teaching module on knowledge, attitude and practice among the patients undergoing total knee replacement

Abstract

The conceptual framework for this study was established based on Orem’s General Theory of nursing model. To meet the study's objectives, an experimental research design employing a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test approach was utilized. The research was carried out at Index Hospital in Indore, involving a sample of 45 patients selected through a non-probability convenience sampling method. Data collection was facilitated through a demographic variable proforma, a structured questionnaire consisting of 30 items on knowledge, a 10-item attitude questionnaire, and a practice observation checklist focused on total knee replacement. Following the pre-test, a video-assisted teaching module regarding total knee replacement was provided to the patients. The post-test was conducted on the seventh day after the intervention. The gathered data were organized and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods.The demographic analysis revealed that a significant majority of participants were female (86.7%), with most falling within the age range of 61-70 years (51.1%). Additionally, 60% of the participants had completed education up to the higher secondary level, and 75.6% had no prior exposure to information regarding total knee replacement. The findings indicated a clear need for educational interventions on total knee replacement among the participants. In the pre-test, it was observed that 37 participants (82.2%) exhibited inadequate knowledge, whereas in the post-test, a substantial majority (88.9%) demonstrated adequate knowledge.Furthermore, a notable improvement was recorded in the post-test mean score (M=86.96, SD=8.09) compared to the pre-test scores (M=44.15, SD=10.99), with a ‘t’ value of 23.143, which was statistically significant at the p
