ABSTRACT

Background The use of internet facilities and computer stimulated learning is becoming a popular trend among the institutions with higher education. Computer stimulated learning has improved the teaching and learning environment and has been becoming a common learning environment among the students and teachers. Computer stimulated learning is now available to everyone, anywhere, anytime irrespective of distance and time. Digital technologies are integrated more and more in our day-to-day life, so it is also included in classroom practice. Thus, the researcher felt need to prepare and administer a computer stimulated learning over traditional lecture method among the GNM Nursing 2nd year students on ECG and its interpretation. Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), a recording - a graph of voltage versus time - of the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes placed on the skin. Statement: - A Study to Compare the effectiveness of Computer Simulated learning over traditional lecture method on knowledge regarding ECG and its interpretation among GNM 2ND YEAR students at selected nursing colleges of District Pulwama. Aim: -The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge through computer simulated learning and traditional lecture method regarding ECG and its interpretation. Methodology: -The Quantitative research approach was adopted and Quasi experimental research design. The settings of the study were Dolphin Institute of Nursing and paramedical science Pulwama. The sample consists of 100 students of GNM 2nd year students and samples were selected by Random sampling technique. The Knowledge was assessed by using Structured questionnaire. Result: In overall view of the present study findings, out of 50 subjects in experimental group, 40 % were in the age group of 18-20years, 6% in between 20-22yrs, 1% in above 23yrs. In control group out of 50 subjects, 46% in the age group of 18-20years, 4% in 20-22yrs. Among all in experimental group 40 % were females and 10% were males. In control group out of 50 subjects, 45% were females and 5% were males. The study finding revealed that in experimental group 12% during pretest had inadequate knowledge and 38% had adequate knowledge regarding ECG and its interpretation. While in the control no student had inadequate knowledge and 50% had adequate knowledge. During the post-test 31% students in the experimental group had inadequate and 19% had adequate knowledge regarding ECG and its interpretation. While in the control group no student had inadequate knowledge and 50% had adequate knowledge regarding ECG and its interpretation. Conclusion: The present study results revealed that the mean pretest knowledge of the control group score was 7.82 and the mean pretest score knowledge of the experimental group was 12.96. The mean post-test knowledge of the control group was 18.8 and the mean post-test knowledge of the experimental group was 20.26.
