A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Video Assisted Teaching Programme Versus Lecture cum Demonstration Method of Teaching on Neurological Assessment among III Year B.Sc Nursing Students of Selected Private Nursing Colleges at District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh
Abstract: Background: Neurological assessment is multifaceted and critical nursing skill required to detect early changes in patient status. Selecting effective pedagogical strategy is vital for nursing educators to bridge the gap between theory and clinical practice. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Video-Assisted Teaching (VAT) and Lecture-cum-demonstration method (LCD) on knowledge regarding neurological assessment among B.Sc. Nursing III-year students. Methods: This study evaluates the effectiveness of video-assisted teaching and lecture-cum-demonstration methods in improving neurological assessment knowledge among third-year nursing students. A true experimental design was applied to 120 students selected through probability sampling and allocated into two groups (Exp group LCD method & Exp group 2 VAT method). Knowledge was measured using a validated 30-item questionnaire before and after intervention. Both methods significantly improved knowledge scores (p < 0.001). The lecture-cum-demonstration group showed a greater mean improvement compared to the video-assisted teaching group. These findings indicate that while both approaches are beneficial, demonstration-based instruction is more effective for complex clinical skill acquisition. The results support integrating interactive demonstration methods into nursing education to enhance competency development. was used. Results: Both methods significantly improved knowledge scores (p < 0.001). The LCD group?s mean score increased from 16.93 to 20.37, while the VAT group?s mean increased from 16.33 to 20.17. Statistical analysis showed both methods were effective, the LCD method was significantly more effective than VAT (t-value 6.806 vs 4.939). Conclusion: Although educational videos provide sensory-rich learning, the traditional lecture-cum-demonstration method remains superior for teaching complex clinical skills like neurological assessment.
