Assess the knowledge and pre procedure anxiety among patients undergoing colonoscopy in selected hospitals at Kollam
Evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on knowledge and pre procedure anxiety regarding colonoscopy procedure among patients undergoing colonoscopy in selected hospitals at Kollam
Find out the association between knowledge and pre procedure anxiety regarding colonoscopy procedure among patients undergoing colonoscopy with selected demographic variable like age, gender, education in selected hospitals.
Quantitative research approach was selected with quasi experimental pre test-post test control group design. Purposive sampling was used. Sample size was 60, 30 each in experimental and control group. Three days before the colonoscopy, collection of base line data and pre test knowledge and pre procedure anxiety was assessed using knowledge questionnaire and State Scale of Anxiety for both experimental and control group. Then video assisted teaching was given to experimental group only. On the day of procedure post test was conducted for both experimental and control group using the same tool. The data collected was tabulated and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
The finding of the study were that the mean post test knowledge score of experimental group (17.7) was greater than the mean post test score of control group (8.97). The p value =0.001 less than 0.05 level of significance. The mean post test pre procedure anxiety score of experimental group (37.28) was lesser than the mean post test anxiety score of control group (48). The p valve =0.001 lesser than 0.05 level of significance. The association between knowledge and pre procedure anxiety with demographic variable showed no significance at 0.05 level.
The present study suggested that video assisted teaching improved the knowledge and reduced the pre procedure anxiety of patient's undergone colonoscopy.
