The study</div> <div>aimed to assess the effectiveness of a videoassisted teaching program</div> <div>on knowledge regarding effects of home remedies on dysmenorrhea</div> <div>among adolescent girls.</div> <div>Methodology: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design</div> <div>was used involving 60 adolescent girls of 9th to 12th standard at Stephens</div> <div>International Public School, Miran Sahib, Jammu. The sample was chosen</div> <div> </div> <div>by using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using a self-</div> <div>structured knowledge questionnaire. A pre-test occurred on day one,</div> <div> </div> <div>followed by a Video Assisted Teaching program on knowledge regarding</div> <div>effects of home remedies on dysmenorrhea. Post-test occurred on day</div> <div>seven.</div> <div>Results: The majority (70%) of participants attained menarche in the</div> <div>age group of 10-16 years with most (35%) from 11th standard. Majority</div> <div>(75%) were vegetarian with most (60%) from Urban area. About (70%)</div> <div>of subjects were doing mild activities with (95%) having 25-35 days of</div> <div>menstrual cycle. Most (72%) of participants belonged to nuclear family</div> <div>with majority (70%) having family / friends as a source of information.</div> <div> </div> <div>The pre-test showed that 85% had inadequate knowledge, while post-</div> <div>test indicated 100% had adequate knowledge.</div> <div> </div> <div>Conclusion: Majority of adolescent girls had inadequate knowledge</div> <div>regarding effects of home remedies on dysmenorrhea before intervention.</div> <div>Video assisted teaching was highly effective in increasing the knowledge</div> <div>of adolescent girls.

In rural areas, awareness levels are often inadequate due to limited access to health education. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Self-Instructional Module (SIM) on knowledge regarding female contraceptives among eligible women in selected rural areas of Burhanpur, Madhya Pradesh.<br />Aim: To assess the effectiveness of a self-instructional module in improving knowledge about female contraceptives among eligible females.<br />Materials and Methods: A pre-experimental one group pre-test post test design was used. Thirty eligible females were selected through purposive sampling. A structured knowledge questionnaire developed and validated by experts was used for data collection. The reliability of the tool was established using Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r = 0.8). A pre-test was conducted, followed by administration of the SIM. A post-test was administered after 7 days.<br />Results: The mean pre-test knowledge score was 13, while the post-test score increased to 18. The paired ‘t’ test value (t = 16.28, p &lt; 0.0005) showed a highly significant improvement in knowledge, indicating the effectiveness of the SIM. Demographic variables were also analysed in relation to pre-test scores.<br />Conclusion: The study concluded that eligible females had inadequate knowledge regarding female contraceptives. The Self-Instructional Module proved to be an effective educational strategy to enhance their knowledge. The findings suggest implications for nursing practice, education, administration, and research in promoting reproductive health awareness in rural communities.</p> <p>How to cite this article:<br />Upadhyay S, Devi T B.
