Effectiveness of Video Assisted Teaching Programme on Prevention of Swine Flu among Students

India had reported 937 cases and 218 deaths from swine flu in the year 2014. By mid-February 2015, the reported cases and deaths in 2015 had surpassed the previous numbers. Every year, there was a rise in number of cases and deaths during winter as temperature affects virus. Objectives To assess the knowledge on prevention of Swine flu among Students. To administer prepared video assisted teaching program on prevention of Swine flu among Students. To assess association between knowledge score & selected socio demographic variable. Methods Evaluative Research approach. Quasi Experimental (one group pre-test and post-test) research design was adopted. The sample consists of 40 students. Descriptive and inferential statistics like mean, median, standard deviation, pairedt test, correlation, coefficient and chi-sqsuare was used for data analysis. Result- average knowledge (13-22) and their frequency is 31 where as 9 samples belong to good knowledge category (23-34) The post test mean score of level of video assisted teaching program 26.13 (SD4.142) was higher than the pre test mean score 13 (SD3.258) the pairedt value 14.591, So the video assisted teaching was highly effective in increasing knowledge of students regarding prevention of swine flu
