Abstract: Index Terms – Community Bag Technique, Lecture Cum Demonstration, Video-Assisted Teaching, Nursing Students, Knowledge, Practice, Nursing Education. Introduction: Community Bag Technique is an essential component of community health nursing, requiring systematic handling and infection control during home visits. The present study compared the effectiveness of Lecture Cum Demonstration and Video-Assisted Teaching on knowledge and practice regarding Community Bag Technique among nursing students. Objectives: 1) To assess the knowledge and practice score regarding Community Bag Technique among students of selected nursing colleges in both groups at baseline. 2) To evaluate the effectiveness of Lecture Cum Demonstration on knowledge and practice regarding Community Bag Technique. 3) To evaluate the effectiveness of Video-Assisted Teaching on knowledge and practice regarding Community Bag Technique. 4) To compare knowledge and practice scores regarding Community Bag Technique between the Lecture Cum Demonstration and Video-Assisted Teaching groups. 5) To determine the association of pre-test knowledge and practice scores with selected demographic variables. Methodology: A quantitative, two-parallel-arm comparative pre-test–post-test design was adopted among 90 B.Sc. Nursing students selected by simple random sampling and allocated equally to Lecture Cum Demonstration (n=45) and Video-Assisted Teaching (n=45) groups. Data were collected using a demographic sheet, self-structured knowledge questionnaire, and 20-item practice checklist. Interventions were administered on Day 1, followed by post-test assessment on Day 7. Data were analyzed using paired and unpaired t-tests and chi-square test, with statistical significance set at p<0.05. Results: In the lecture-cum-demonstration group, mean knowledge and practice scores improved significantly from 6.31 ± 1.18 to 11.68 ± 1.44 and 9.28 ± 1.80 to 14.17 ± 1.98, respectively (p < 0.001). Similarly, the video-assisted teaching group showed significant improvement in knowledge (6.20 ± 1.17 to 10.66 ± 1.34) and practice (8.82 ± 1.61 to 11.95 ± 1.75; p < 0.001). Lecture-cum-demonstration was significantly more effective than video-assisted teaching in improving knowledge (t = 2.97, p = 0.004) and practice (t = 3.75, p < 0.001). Age and semester were significantly associated with pre-test knowledge. Conclusion: The study concludes that Both lecture-cum-demonstration and video-assisted teaching effectively improved knowledge and practice regarding community bag technique. However, lecture-cum-demonstration was significantly more effective, supporting demonstration-based teaching for skill acquisition in nursing education.
