Abstract

Good body mechanics is the efficient co-ordinated and safe use of the body to produce motion and maintain balance during activity. Based on the problem selected and objectives of the study an evaluative research approach was used.5 The design adopted for this study was pre- experimental one group pre-test post-test design; Sample of 30 staff nurses were selected by Non-probability convenient sampling technique. Data was collected by using self administered knowledge questionnaire before and after the implementation of Video Assisted Teaching Program. Paired‘t’ test was used to compute the difference between mean pre-test and mean post-test knowledge scores of the Staff Nurses reveal that 46.67 per cent of Staff Nurses had inadequate knowledge, 53.33 per cent had moderate knowledge and none of them had adequate knowledge in pre-test. In post test the knowledge scores of the Staff Nurses reveal that 13.33 per cent of them had inadequate knowledge, 46.67 per cent had moderate knowledge and 40 per cent of them had adequate knowledge regarding Body Mechanics on selected Nursing Procedures and prevention of back pain. Hence teaching programme regarding Body Mechanics on selected Nursing Procedures
and prevention of back pain followed by pre test was effective. Chi-square test was applied to find out the association between selected demographic variables and post-test knowledge score. There was no significant association found between the post-test knowledge score and socio-demographic data. The overall findings of the study revealed that the Video Assisted Teaching Program is significantly effective in improving the knowledge scores of staff nurses regarding of Body Mechanics on selected nursing procedure and prevention of back pain among Staff Nurses
