Abstract

The present study was conducted to assess the effect of computer assisted teaching on knowledge gain of students on GCS with Coma patient. An experimental design was chosen with pre-test and post-test of experimental and control group. The sample size was 60 B.Sc. Nursing 3rd Year students divided into two groups as 30 in experimental and 30 in control group. The tools used for conducting the study included demographic data, self-structured questionnaire to assess knowledge of experimental and control group. The experimental group was given computer assisted teaching as an intervention and the control group was used for comparison only without interventions. The data were analyzed with statistics and unpaired t-test was done. The study clearly shows that there was a significant gain in knowledge of students in experimental group with computer assisted teaching which emphasizes that GCS is helpful to assess the level of consciousness. Therefore, the students can be benefited with computer assisted teaching to improve knowledge on GCS and they can practice these interventions in clinical area in future. It is a true experimental study with 30 samples each in control and experimental group of BSc nursing third year student to assess the effect of computer assisted teaching on knowledge gain of the students regarding glass coma scale. The study group showed rise in knowledge score with CAT where as the control group did not demonstrate increase in post test knowledge score as this was not exposed to the intervention. Therefore computer assisted teaching helps in imparting knowledge subject and improving the score. The Purpose of the research was to improve knowledge on GCS so that student can assess the condition of unconscious patient and it will help in improving in nursing care and also they can assess the prognosis of the condition of the patient and planning nursing care accordingly.
