Knowledge on managing trauma victims in road traffic accidents among autodrivers.

A quasi-experimental study was conducted to identify the effectiveness of video assisted teaching module regarding knowledge on managing trauma victims in road traffic accidents among auto drivers. The sample consisted of 60 auto rikshaw drivers. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The experimental group was subjected to video assisted teaching. Video was shown to the experimental group samples on the next day of pre test data collection and post test was conducted after 7 days for both experimental and comparison group. The data were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Video assisted teaching module was found to be effective in increasing the knowledge level on managing trauma victims among the auto drivers in road traffic accidents (p=0.001<0.05) in all knowledge categories and as the post test knowledge scores of experimental group (23.76 ± 2.52) and comparison group (13.2 ± 2.4); (p< 0.001) showed a difference of 10.56 ±2.52.
