Effectiveness of Video-assisted teaching regarding Gag reflex exercises for cerebrovascular accident patients on knowledge among the adults of selected rural areas of Pune.

Abstract

Following the cerebrovascular accident, half of the patients develop an irritated gag reflex. The gulping function has changed dramatically as a result of the home exercise program, and it has also produced useful effects including a positive attitude and a normal quality of life. The family members who are caring for the patient can be competent enough to assess the early detection of a disturbed or absent gag reflex, recognize the patient's needs, comprehend their understanding of the complications, and use their experience, judgment, and best efforts to successfully treat their patients at the desired level. Aim: The study's primary goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of video-assisted instruction on gagging reflex exercises for patients with cerebrovascular accidents in terms of adult knowledge in particular rural locations. Methodology: Research methodology: quantitative research methodology, The study used a quasi-experimental approach with a single group pretest and posttest. Method of sampling: non-probability sampling with a purpose. Number of samples: 40 Result: In relation to the gag reflex exercises for CVA patients, the results demonstrated an increase in the mean posttest knowledge level scores (29.82) when compared to the mean pretest knowledge level scores (9.85) of adults. This demonstrated the efficacy of video-assisted instruction, as shown by t=32.9. Only the length of care was a chosen sociodemographic variable that showed a statistically significant correlation (p<0.05) with the pretest knowledge level scores of adults; other sociodemographic factors did not show a correlation. Conclusion: Therefore, it has been shown that adults may effectively reform their knowledge and raise the bar for home care using video-assisted instruction. Suggestion: The urban population might be used in a comparable comparison research.
