Colostomy is one of the commonest life saving procedures with an intention of either decompression of an obstructed colon or diversion of stool. The care of colostomy child is complex, challenging, and lengthy process. Hence, caregivers need to be provided education regarding colostomy care. Aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching program on caregiver’s knowledge and anxiety regarding colostomy care of children with colostomy at Pediatric surgery department of KGMU. Self structured knowledge questionnaire and anxiety rating scale are used for data collection. Quasi-experimental design with two group pre test post test design was used for 60 caregivers and purposive sampling technique was used. The findings revealed that in post test experimental group care givers have 76.6% average knowledge, 16.7% good knowledge and 6.6% poor knowledge. In the Post-test experimental group, mean score was 18.97 ±2.83 whereas the same in control group was 8.33 ±1.78. P-value is < 0.05. The calculated t- value 17.48was compared with the tabulated value 2.01. In post test experimental group caregiver have, 60% mild anxiety, 26.7% no anxiety, 6.6% moderate anxiety and 6.6% severe anxiety. Post-test mean in experimental group was 47.6 ± 8.12 whereas the same in control group was 62.53 ± 2.08. P -value is <0.05. The calculated t-value -9.75 was compared with the tabulated value 2.01. These findings revealed that the video assisted teaching program on colostomy care was effective in terms of improvement in knowledge and reducing anxiety. The implications of this study emphasize on providing video assisted teaching programs on colostomy care before colostomy surgery, so that they can provide quality care to their children with colostomy.
