Effectiveness of a Video-Assisted Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regarding Osteoporosis Among Teachers

Abstract Osteoporosis has been described as a silent disease due to loss of bone without any symptoms until it results in fractures [1]. Worldwide, more than 8.9 million osteoporotic fractures occur per year [2]. It affects both genders widely, requiring public awareness that may help reduce the prevalence and make effective prevention. An adequate calcium-rich diet, regular vitamin D availability, regular weight-bearing exercises, and avoidance of smoking/alcohol can help control the risk of osteoporosis to some extent. This needs regular education and awareness among people who are at risk of developing osteoporosis. This study mainly aims to assess the pre-test and post-test knowledge scores, with the help of a video-assisted teaching programme among school teachers.

Quantitative pre-experimental, pre-test, post-test study design was used for a sample of 40 teachers, selected via simple random sampling from a selected school in Lucknow city, Uttar Pradesh. The mean score was 15.08 in the pre-test (5% had adequate knowledge, 85% had moderate knowledge & 10% had inadequate knowledge) and 20 in the post-test (57.5% had adequate knowledge, 42.5% had moderate knowledge & none of them had inadequate knowledge), thus shows video assisted teaching programme as an effective intervention in improving knowledge level (t=15.24, p<0.05). There was a significant association was found between pre-test knowledge with gender, and prior knowledge regarding osteoporosis, but no association was found with age group, menopausal status (in case of females), family type, religion, monthly income, dietary pattern, any history of orthopedic diseases, and family history of osteoporosis.
