A Pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test study was conducted among 48 labor room nurses in selected hospitals in Meghalaya employing a purposive sampling technique. Data collection involved the use of a structured knowledge questionnaire, and an observation checklist. It was uncovered that out of 48 nurses, merely 1 individual (2.1%) possessed good knowledge, while 25 individuals (52.08%), exhibited average knowledge and 22 individuals (45.8%) poor knowledge of the partograph during the pre-test. However, 22 individuals (45.8%) displayed substantial improvement and acquired good knowledge in the post-test, with an additional 26 individuals (54.16%) attaining an average level of knowledge. Data in regard to the practice of nurses on partograph revealed that out of 48 nurses, 8 (16.7%) had good practice and 40 (83.3%) nurses had poor practice in the pre-test while 43 (89.6%) nurses had good practice and 5 (10.4%) nurses had poor practice in the post- test. There was notable difference in the knowledge and practice scores before and after participating in the Video-Assisted Teaching Programme on Partograph which was found to be statistically significant, as indicated by a paired t-test value of 14.191 and 47 degrees of freedom, p value ≤0.001*at 95% confidence interval for knowledge and a paired t-test value of 12.052 and 47 degrees of freedom, p value ≤0.001* for practice respectively.
Conclusion: These remarkable findings revolve around the efficacious Video-Assisted Teaching Programme on Partograph which was effective in improving the knowledge and practice of nurses working in labor rooms regarding partograph.
