Abstract

Consumption of food  is  a dynamic which is  determine  by quickly changing tendency in food  practices for infants and difficult  to understand what children are being fed and how practices are alternating. The study was to assess the video assisted teaching on knowledge regarding weaning among mothers of infants attending paediatric OPD at SRH. Quantitative, pre experimental non randomized one group pretest and posttest design, convenient sampling technique was used to collect the 120 sample paediatric OPD.Self structured knowledge questionnaire was administered during pretest and video assisted teaching was given about 30 minutes as an intervention. After 7th day posttest was conducted through what’s app. About 3% of mothers had inadequate and 93% of mothers had moderately adequate and 6% of mothers had adequate knowledge level in pretest where as in posttest 14% of mothers had moderate level and 86% of mothers had adequate level knowledge on weaning. The mean posttest knowledge score of mothers of infant was 17.49 with SD=1.914 was highly significant difference in pretest mean score was 11.08 with SD=2.164 and computer paired t test value t=35.867. The study concludes that video assisted teaching programme was effective on knowledge regarding weaning among mothers of infants.
