Abstract

Introduction: The onset of menstruation denotes the landmark event in pubertal    development of adolescent girls. It is essential to ensure that the school girls have enough  and proper understanding about the hygiene to be maintained during menstruation. A poor
knowledge in this aspect may lead to unsafe practices that in turn increase the chances of   various Reproductive Tract Infections in the future, leaving risks of far reaching consequences   on the wellbeing, dignity and overall health.  Aim: The present study was conducted to assess the effect of Video Assisted Teaching on  knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene among girls in selected schools, Kannur District.  Methods: A descriptive & evaluative study, using a self administered questionnaire was   conducted. The sample consisted of 234 school girls in classes 5, 6 and 7 in selected schools   of Kannur district aged 10-13 years, selected through convenient sampling technique. A  structured knowledge questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data were analyzed  using descriptive and inferential statistics on the basis of objectives of the study.  Results: The results of the study depicted that there is an increase in the mean scores of   knowledge in post test (16.51), than the pre test (12.07), which means that the Video Assisted   Teaching was effective.  Discussion: The study conducted among school girls in selected schools revealed that there  is lack of knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene among school girls. It is a shocking fact that the girls do not have enough knowledge regarding the most important physiological process  of the human female reproductive system. It is the need of the hour to take necessary steps to   impart the essential knowledge to the adolescents through various media.
