Abstract
A quasi experimental pre and post test with control group research design was undertaken at selected hospitals of Salem to assess the effectiveness of a Video Assisted Teaching Module (VATM) on knowledge and practice of the staff nurses regarding hospital acquired infection in neonatal units. Data was collected from 220 staff nurses from various hospitals of neonatal units and analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. In experimental group, the overall pretest mean knowledge score was 10.35 ± 2.80 whereas post test mean score was 17.59 ± 3.21 with a mean difference of 24%. The overall pretest mean practice score of the experimental group was 12.93 ± 1.87 whereas post test mean score was 21.41 ± 2.96 with a mean difference of 28%. It is evident that the video assisted teaching module was very effective in improving the knowledge and practice of staff nurses in experimental group. There is a positive correlation between post test knowledge and practice among experimental group of staff nurses regarding Hospital acquired infections which is significant at 0.001 level.
