Abstract
With growth in population, there has been increase in unintended and unwanted pregnancies. This experimental study assessed the effectiveness of video-assisted teaching on knowledge of selected family welfare measures including temporary contraceptive methods such as condom, safe period, copper-T, oral contraceptive pills, emergency contraceptive pills among primigravidae in the gestational age of 16-24 weeks at a selected hospital in Kanyakumari district (TN). 30 samples each for experimental group and control group were selected by Simple Random Sampling technique. Data was collected by using structured interview schedule, analysed and interpreted by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The pre-test mean value of experimental group was 9.37 with a standard deviation of 2.659. The post-test mean value was 18.53 with a standard deviation of 2.374. Difference between the pre-test and post-test score in experimental group was found to be statistically significant. It is suggested that health teaching on family welfare measures should be practiced as an integral part of the nursing profession by the nurse working in the hospital, community and in family welfare clinics.
