Effectiveness of Video-Assisted Teaching Programme on the Knowledge Regarding Stress Urinary Incontinence among Working Women in Selected Working Areas.

Abstract

In the same way, as fire melts itself and lights people, women strengthen their own families by enduring hardships, providing for the needs of others, and ultimately taking pleasure in their success. Throughout their lives, women undergo a variety of changes, some of which are obvious and others of which are not. There could be both psychological and physical changes in the ladies. About 13% of women between the ages of 19 and 44 and 22% of women between the ages of 45 and 64 suffer from SUI, a relatively frequent illness. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the video-assisted teaching programme on the knowledge regarding stress urinary incontinence among working women in selected working areas.

The study used a quantitative research strategy as its research methodology. Pre and post-test control group designs were quasi-experimental and non-randomized, according to the researcher. The study was built on the open system model developed by J. W. Kenny. The study's accessible population was made up of women who had assisted or vaginal births, were between the ages of 35 and 60, worked as traffic police, were willing participants, could read, write, and understood either Marathi or English and were present when the data was being collected. There were 60 people in the sample (experimental group 30, control group 30) who were chosen using a non-probability purposive sampling technique by the inclusion criteria. The tool includes a structured knowledge questionnaire on stress urinary incontinence and demographic data.

Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the data analysis. The paired t-test and two-sample t-test are used to find the effectiveness of video-assisted teaching programme on the knowledge regarding stress urinary incontinence among working women in selected working areas. Fisher’s exact test is used to find the association between knowledge among working women regarding stress urinary incontinence and selected demographic variables.

Results: pre-test, 6.7% of the working women had poor knowledge,90% of them had average knowledge and 3.3% of them had good knowledge regarding stress urinary incontinence. In the post-test, 60% of them had average knowledge and 40% of them had good knowledge regarding stress urinary incontinence. This indicates that the knowledge among working women regarding stress urinary incontinence improved remarkably after video assisted teaching programme.
