Abstract
Maternal perception of fetal movement is a valuable tool for early detection of fetal compromise. Fetal movement is a reliable sign of fetal well being. These early signs of fetal movement may at first be confused as simply gas, but actually growing baby is rocking and rolling inside the belly. Fetal movement counting often called \\\'kick counting\\\' represents a maneuver whereby a mother can help monitor the movements of her unborn baby by counting the number of kicks in a given time period. This is an indicator of fetal health and the novice mothers can identify and prevent the complications before the child birth. In order to educate and encourage the primigravidae to improve their knowledge regarding fetal movement counting, the study was conducted to evaluate the Effectiveness of video assisted Teaching on knowledge regarding self assessment of daily fetal movement (DFMC), among primigravidae in selected maternity hospitals at, Bengaluru. Methods: Pre-experimental design, with non probability purposive sampling method was used. Information was collected from 50 primigravidae attending antenatal OPD regarding self assessment of daily fetal movement count (DFMC) using the structured knowledge questionnaire. VAT was implemented and post-test was conducted after 7 days to find the effectiveness. Results: Regarding effectiveness of VAT, the overall mean knowledge score in the pre-test was 31.92 % and 83.58 % in the post test with enhancement of 51.66 % and it was significant at 5% level. Analysis of socio-demographic variables showed significant association between age in years, occupational status, with knowledge score at 5% level (P>0.05). Interpretation And Conclusion:Overall findings showed that pre-test knowledge scores were found to be 31.92 % and after VAT, knowledge of primigraviadae was enhanced by 51.66 % regarding DFMC. Hence the result has proved that VAT was effective in improving the knowledge of primigravidae attending antenatal OPD regarding DFMC.
