The conceptual framework for this study was established based on Orem’s General Theory of nursing model. To meet the study's objectives, an experimental research design employing a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test approach was utilized. The research was carried out at Index Hospital in Indore, involving a sample of 45 patients selected through a non-probability convenience sampling method. Data collection was facilitated through a demographic variable proforma, a structured questionnaire consisting of 30 items on knowledge, a 10-item attitude questionnaire, and a practice observation checklist focused on total knee replacement. Following the pre-test, a video-assisted teaching module regarding total knee replacement was provided to the patients. The post-test was conducted on the seventh day after the intervention. The gathered data were organized and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
The demographic analysis revealed that a significant majority of participants were female (86.7%), with most falling within the age range of 61-70 years (51.1%). Additionally, 60% of the participants had completed education up to the higher secondary level, and 75.6% had no prior exposure to information regarding total knee replacement. The findings indicated a clear need for educational interventions on total knee replacement among the participants. In the pre-test, it was observed that 37 participants (82.2%) exhibited inadequate knowledge, whereas in the post-test, a substantial majority (88.9%) demonstrated adequate knowledge.
Furthermore, a notable improvement was recorded in the post-test mean score (M=86.96, SD=8.09) compared to the pre-test scores (M=44.15, SD=10.99), with a ‘t’ value of 23.143, which was statistically significant at the p<0.001 level. An association was identified between the demographic variables and the pre-test levels of knowledge and attitude; however, no significant association was observed in the post-test results. An association was also noted concerning the practice.
