Effectiveness of Video Teaching Program on Knowledge Regarding 5Fs Of Disease Transmission Food, Finger, Fluid, Fomite, Faces among Children at Selected Setting, Chennai

Introduction Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi the diseases can be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another.1 These infectious diseases often spread through direct contact that means from person to person. Coming with the contact of body fluids, or any secretions or even the fomites used by the infected person. The feaco oral route can be summarized into 5fs finger, food, fluid, feaces, flies. The main diseases that are caused by feaco oral route are diarrhoea, cholera, polio, hepatitis.2 The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledge regarding the prevention of 5f's finger, food, fluid, flies and feaces disease transmission among children. Materials and methods Research approach was quantitative and research design was descriptive research design. 30 samples who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected by non probability convenient sampling technique. The tool used for the collection comprises of 2 sections section A demographic variables section B to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding 5Fs of disease transmission food, finger, fluid, fomite, faces among children Data collected were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results The study findings reveals that, the pre test mean value is 11.3 with SD of 66 and post test value is 18.3 with SD of 97, it shows that there is a significance difference between pre test post test knowledge regarding 5Fs disease transmission among mothers of school children and there is a significant association between the level of post test knowledge regarding 5Fs disease transmission with mother's age group, educational status and at 5 level of significance respectively.
