INTRODUCTION Cancer is defined as the uncontrollable growth of cells that invade and cause damage to surrounding tissue. Oral diseases and conditions share modifiable risk factors with the leading NCDs (Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes). This study was carried out to assess the knowledge regarding prevention of oral cancer and to find out the effectiveness of video assisted teaching program among tobacco chewers. MATERIAL AND METHODS A pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design study was conducted to find the effectiveness of video assisted teaching for prevention of oral cancer among tobacco chewers in Dhakdahi village of Rohini rural municipality of Rupandehi District, Nepal. The total duration of the study was three months 5/5/2019 to 26/8/2019. The study samples tobacco chewers were selected by non-probability convenient sampling. Self-administered structured questionnaire was used for socio-demographic variables and video in local language for prevention of oral cancer was used as a intervention for the study group and collected data was used analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS software version 20.0 RESULTS The findings of the study show that the mean score pre-test knowledge was 7.23 and standard deviation 1.801. After the intervention, the mean score of post-test knowledge was 9.96 and standard deviation 1.56. No significant association was found between socio -demographic variables and post-test knowledge level. CONCLUSION Based on the study findings the knowledge level on prevention of cancer is inadequate before intervention of video assisted teaching and after the video assisted teaching the knowledge on prevention was found to be improved.

Abstract Background: Teaching is a profession where teachers are exposed to use their voice excessively in many situations which impose the risk for developing morbidity caused to larynx, among them the most common is laryngitis. However, I felt that there was great need for educating primary school teachers on Prevention and Management of Laryngitis. Objectives: To find the effectiveness of Video Assisted Teaching Program (VATP) on Knowledge regarding Prevention and Management of Laryngitis among Primary School Teachers. Materials and methods: Quasi-experimental research design was adopted for the study with purposive sampling technique to select the sample (N=60) with n=30 in experimental group and control group of primary school teachers respectively. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the Knowledge; VATP was administered only to experimental group to find its effectiveness in comparison with control group. The findings of the study revealed deficit in knowledge of primary school teachers before administration of VATP. Results: The mean percentage knowledge score of post-test (79.80 %) was higher than the pretest (39.30%). The calculated paired 't' value is greater than the table value (0.05, 29df) = 2.045. It showed a significant difference between mean pre and post- test knowledge scores among experimental group. The mean percentage of knowledge scores in post-test (79.80%) among experimental group was higher than the post-test (39.80%) among control group. The 2 calculated unpaired 't' value is greater than the table value (0.05,58df) = 1.96. Calculated ÷ values showed significant association between post-test knowledge scores of respondents with their selected demographic variables. Conclusion: VATP was effective in increasing the knowledge of primary school teachers on Prevention and Management of Laryngitis.

The Child is always precious so their health too. The maintenance of child health is desired and positively taken so every society has goal of improved level of child health status. Neonatal care begins from premarital age which continues from conception, pregnancy, and childbirth and to the childhood through proper care during each stage. When primary neonatal care is inadequate, then it leads to unavoidable and unacceptable high neonatal morbidity and mortality occurs. Among the concerned care thermal protection of newborn is also one of them since hypothermia is considered silent killer among neonate. To make aware regarding this condition with the aim to find the effectiveness of video assisted teaching program on thermal protection of newborns among mothers this study was conducted. Researcher used an evaluatory approach with a pre experimental, one group pre-test post test design in the study. A self prepared knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge among mothers on thermal protection of newborns followed by video assisted teaching program and again followed by same questionnaire for post test. Split half method was used to test tool reliability and found that tool was reliable (r= 0.86; p<0.05). To select sample of 50 mothers from a maternity hospital non probability purposive sampling technique was used. Findings revealed that the post test knowledge score (15.12±3.41) was higher than pretest knowledge score (9.68±3.27). The calculated‘t’ value in knowledge (8.895 p<0.005) was greater than the table value (1.677). Study found significant association between the pre-test knowledge level on thermal protection of newborn among mothers and selected baseline variables. Study concluded that the video assisted teaching program was highly effective in improving the knowledge of mothers on thermal protection of newborns

The objective of this research was to find out the significance of the students’ achievement before and after learning vocabulary through Social Interaction Method at the eight class of SMP Guppi Samata Gowa. This research employed pre-experimental method with one group pretest and posttest design. There were two variables, namely dependent variable was the students’ vocabulary achievement and the independent variable was the application of Social Interaction Model in teaching vocabulary. The population was the students in the eighth grade of SMP Guppi Samata Gowa. The sample of the research consisted of 50 students which were taken by using cluster total sampling, 25 students were taken as an experimental class and 25 students were taken as a controlled class. The instrument was vocabulary test in the multiple-choice test. The multiple choice test consists of 10 items that consist of five choices. The findings of the research were students vocabulary used pre-test and post-test. The result of the data indicated that there was a significant difference between students’ post-test in experimental class and controlled class. The mean score of posttest (61.6) in experimental class was greater than the mean score of posttest (56) in controlled class and the standard deviation of posttest (8.94) in experimental class was greater than the standard deviation of posttest in controlled class (6.29). From t-test, the researcher found that the value of t-test (2.553) was greater than t-table (2.021) at the level of significance 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) = 48.
