A Quasi – Experimental Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Demonstration and Video Assisted Teaching regarding Endotracheal Intubation and its Long-term Complications among the students of B.Sc. (N) 2ND Year of different Nursing Colleges of District

Background: Endotracheal intubation is a life saving procedure in which endotracheal tube is passes through the mouth to the endotracheal tract. It provides a patent airway to the patient who cannot breathe and treated with other methods. Objectives of the study were to assess the effectiveness of demonstration and video assisted teaching by doing pre –test and post – test knowledge score. A quantitative research approach with quasi – experimental design was used to assess the effectiveness of demonstration and video assisted teaching regarding endotracheal intubation and its long term complications among B.Sc nursing 2nd year students of selected nursing colleges of district Kangra (H.P). A simple random method sampling technique was used. Sample size was 80 and data was collected by structured knowledge questionnaire. The validity and reliability of tool was established. Data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Finding of the study was revealed that out of 80 subjects (66.3%) had average knowledge, (21.3%) had good knowledge and (12.5%) had poor knowledge in Pre – test whereas in Post – test knowledge score reveals that majority 45% of them had good knowledge and 38.8% had very good knowledge, 16.3% had average knowledge. The overall test depicts that in the pre – test range was 4 - 15, Mean 9.78, Standard deviation was 2.868, Mean percentage of knowledge score was 39.10% and in post-test range was 7-22, mean 16.13, Mean percentage of knowledge score was 64.50%. The calculated ‘t’ value (15.029) was greater than the table value (t – 1.99) at 0.05 level of significance. Hence, it can be inferred that the demonstration and video assisted teaching was effective in increasing the knowledge. Conclusion: The both methods of teaching which is demonstration and video assisted teaching methods are effective in learning. Although both methods helps to enhance the knowledge related to endotracheal intubation and its long term complications.
