Abstract: Introduction: Pressure ulcers remain the key complications of prolonged hospitalization, especially in poor nutritional conditions, increased moisture on the skin, prolonged pressure, and sensory stimulation compromised. Pressure ulcers are a major problem, but the implementation of best practice guidelines can prevent ulcers from occurring. Pressure ulcers are widespread in many areas of care, with adverse health effects and high cost of treatment. Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of lecture cum demonstration and video assisted teaching methods on knowledge regarding Norton pressure ulcer risk assessment among students of selected nursing colleges. Study design & Methodology: Two arm interventional comparative research design was used. A total of 50 nursing students were selected using a non-probability convenience sampling technique and divided equally into two groups (25 in each). Group A received lecture cum demonstration teaching and Group B received video assisted teaching on Norton pressure ulcer scale. Pre-test and post-test knowledge scores were measured using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (paired t-test and chi-square test). Result: The result shows that in pretest 4% of nursing students in Lecture-cum-Demonstration and 16% in Video Assisted Teaching had poor knowledge score and 76% of nursing students in Lecture-cum-Demonstration and 80% in Video Assisted Teaching had mild level of knowledge score. Minimum knowledge score in Lecture-cum-Demonstration was 6 and in Video Assisted Teaching it was 5 and maximum knowledge score in Lecture-cum-Demonstration was 16 and in Video Assisted Teaching it was 14. In post-test 12% of nursing students in Lecture-cum-Demonstration Teaching and 80% in Video Assisted Teaching had mild knowledge score and 52% of nursing students in Lecture-cum-Demonstration Teaching and 12% in Video Assisted Teaching had good level of knowledge score. The calculated ‘t’ value i.e. 4.25 are much higher than the tabulated value at 5% level of significance for overall knowledge score of nursing students which is statistically acceptable level of significance. Conclusion: It is statistically interpreted that the Lecture cum Demonstration method is more effective than Video assisted Teaching on knowledge regarding Norton pressure ulcer risk assessment scale among Students of selected nursing colleges. Thus, the H1 is accepted.
