Background: Every child has a right to a safe childhood and a life free from violence. The experience of child abuse and neglect infringe upon that right. 1 Health education will improve the knowledge level of the mothers so that proper awareness can be built towards the prevention  and management of child abuse. The overall aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on prevention and management of child abuse among mothers of children.Method: Pre-experimental approach with one group pre-test - post-test design was adopted to accomplish the objectives. Non probability Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample of 100 mothers and semi-structured knowledge questionnaire was developed to assess the knowledge level.Results: The findings of the study revealed that most (57%) of the mothers had moderate knowledge and majority (43%) of the mothers had inadequate knowledge regarding prevention and management of child abuse. After administration of video assisted teaching programme (VATP), the posttest knowledge score (25.28± 2.025) was higher than the pretest knowledge score (11.03± 2.213). The calculated ‘t’ value in knowledge (48.668; p< 0.05) was greater than the table value (1.98) at 0.05 level of significance.Conclusions: The present study revealed that the mothers have lack of knowledge on prevention and management of child abuse and the overall findings of the study proved that there was a highly significant increase in the knowledge of the mothers on prevention and management of child abuse following the administration of the VATP. Therefore it was concluded that the VATP was highly effective in improving the knowledge of the mothers on prevention and management of child abuse. Med Phoenix.

Abstract Background: UNICEF, WHO and WABA, along with the scientific community, strongly recommend initiating breastfeeding within a half-hour of birth. Evidence shows that early initiation can prevent 22% of all deaths among babies below one month in developing countries. Every newborn, when placed on her mother's abdomen, soon after birth, has the ability to find her mother's breast all on her own and to decide when to take the first breastfeed. This is called the 'Breast Crawl'. Materials and Methods: An experimental approach with one group pre-test post test design was used for the study. The sample comprises of 60 nursing students who meets inclusion criteria were selected using Random sampling technique.pre test was conducted with structured knowledge questionnaire ,followed by administered the video assisted teaching programme on breast crawl. Post test was conducted after 7 days of intervention by using same tool Result: The collected data were analyzed using descriptive & inferential statistics The findings of the data showed that the mean post test knowledge of subjects were significantly higher than their mean pre test knowledge scores after the administration of video assisted teaching. ('t' value 14.93, P> 0.05).No association was found Conclusion: A baby is born with many instinctive abilities which enable her to perform the Breast Crawl. Hence video assisted teaching is very essential and beneficial in nursing field to educate nursing students.

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
