A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Video Assisted Teaching Program on Knowledge Regarding Prevention and Management of Postpartum Hemorrhage among Staff Nurses at Selected Hospitals, Lucknow

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the four leading cause of maternal mortality. Postpartum hemorrhage is defined as blood loss in > 500ml at the time of vaginal delivery and > 1000 ml at the time of cesarean section. Postpartum hemorrhage may be due to uterine atony ( most common cause), genital tract lacerations, retained product of conception, delayed coagulation. Management of Postpartum hemorrhage include administration of uterotonic drugs, Bimanual compression, NASG, aortic compression, uterine artery ligation, internal iliac artery ligation and hysterectomy. Method: A quantitative evaluative approach using questionnaire on postpartum hemorrhage. Pre experimental one group pre-test & post-test design was used. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to select 60 samples from the selected hospitals in Lucknow. The conceptual frame work of the present study was based on Karl Ludwig Von Bertlanffy’s General system theory. Initially researcher got permission for study from concern authorities. Pre-test done followed by video-assisted teaching program on postpartum hemorrhage for 50 min followed by 10 min session of question and answer. A post-test was conducted after 2 weeks of video-assisted teaching program. The tools used for data collection, part 1: demographic variables, part 2: assessing knowledge on prevention and management of postpartum hemorrhage. Results: Employing descriptive and inferential statistics, the analysis of the data was done. Data Shows that overall mean of pre-test knowledge score regarding prevention and management of postpartum hemorrhage was 14.35 and SD 3.94. After video-assisted teaching program the overall post-test mean was 24.1 and SD 3.27.The paired ‘t’ test result shows that overall enhancement mean score is 9.75.Paired ‘t’ test value is 19.19 significant at 0.001 level. The result of chi-square presented indicate that there was no significant association between pre-test knowledge score with dem
