Effectiveness of video-assisted comprehensive teaching program in enhancing knowledge, improving compliance, and life coping mechanism among tuberculosis patients
Journal Title: National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major global health problems responsible for ill health among millions of people. In India, each year, approximately 220,000 deaths are reported due to TB. Even today, two deaths occur every 3 min due to TB. Aims and Objectives: The study was undertaken to assess the level of knowledge of TB among TB patients and to evaluate the effectiveness of video-assisted comprehensive teaching program on enhancing knowledge, improving compliance, and life coping mechanism and to observe the association between the knowledge, compliance, and demographic variables among TB patients. Materials and Methods: The quantitative research approach was used. A quasi-experimental, pre-post test design was used. The setting of the study was the TB units of Ernakulam district. Total of 30 samples (10 for each group) were selected using purposive sampling technique. Results: Findings revealed that the median difference of the knowledge among three groups was 3.00. Computed value by Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed booklet pre versus booklet post Z = 2.807, P = 0.002; vestibular autorotation test (VAT) pre versus VAT post Z = 2.809, P = 0.002; and booklet + VAT pre versus booklet +VAT post Z = 2.677 P = 0.004, respectively. Conclusion: The study showed that the booklet, VAT and combined forms (booklet + VAT) are equally effective to improve the knowledge in TB patients regarding TB.
