Problem statement: A study to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on the level of knowledge regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation among B.Sc Nursing IIIrd year students at Shri Guru Ram Rai University, College of Nursing, Dehradun. Objectives: 1. To assess the knowledge regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation among BSc Nursing 3rd year. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching program on the level of knowledge regarding Cardio pulmonary resuscitation. 3. To find out the association between the demographic variables and on the level of knowledge regarding Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methodology: The nature of the study was quantitative approach. The research design used for this study was pre-experimental i.e. one group pre-test and post –test research design. The present study attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on the level of knowledge regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation among BSc Nursing IIIrd year at selected Shri Guru Ram Rai University, College of Nursing, Dehradun. Non –probability sampling technique i.e purposive sampling technique was used in this study. This study included 65 BSc Nursing IIIrd year students and their level of knowledge was assessed by using self-structured questionnaire.
