This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a video-assisted teaching module in improving knowledge about COVID-19 among patients admitted to Chirayu Medical College and Hospital, Bhopal (M.P.). A pre-experimental research design was employed for this study, where a sample of patients admitted to the hospital was selected using a convenient sampling technique. The study involved two phases: pre-test and post-test assessments. Initially, the patients’ knowledge regarding COVID-19 was assessed using a structured questionnaire. Following this, a video-assisted teaching module was administered to the participants, which provided comprehensive information on COVID-19, including its symptoms, transmission, prevention methods, and treatment options. After the intervention, the same questionnaire was administered as a post-test to assess any changes in the patients’ knowledge. The results showed a significant improvement in the participants’ knowledge about COVID-19 after the intervention. The mean score of knowledge in the post-test was considerably higher compared to the pre-test, indicating that the video-assisted teaching module had a positive impact on enhancing the patients’ understanding of COVID-19. The findings suggest that video-assisted learning can be an effective educational tool in a hospital setting, particularly in improving health literacy during a pandemic. In conclusion, the study demonstrates the positive influence of video-assisted teaching in enhancing COVID-19 knowledge among patients. This approach can be integrated into healthcare education strategies to improve patient awareness, especially in settings with limited access to other educational resources. Further research could explore its long-term effectiveness and application in different healthcare settings.
