Description

Background: Cervix cancer remains the number one cancer death for women in developing countries including India. However, the incidence of cancer cervix has declined steadily over the years, which is possible through improving the knowledge among women. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of video-assisted teaching on knowledge regarding cancer cervix among women. Material and Method: A true-experimental study was conducted among 60 women (30- experimental & 30 control) selected by using simple random sampling. Results: The study results showed that 56.67% of women had moderately adequate knowledge in the post-test and 40% of women had adequate knowledge. The calculated ‘t’ value was 19.92  which showed a statistically significant difference in the level of knowledge among women between the experiment and control groups.
