A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Video-Assisted Teaching Module Regarding Knowledge of Sitting Breathing Exercise (Pranayamas) on Blood Glucose Level among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Selected Hospitals of Jabalpur (M.P)

Abstract

Aim: A study wasto assessthe effectiveness of video-assisted teaching module regarding knowledge ofsitting breathing exercises(Pranayamas) on blood glucose level among patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in selected hospitals of Jabalpur (M.P).

Materials and Methods: A quantitative evaluative research approach is used. The quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test research design used. The study was conducted in the selected hospitals in Jabalpur city. A non-probability purposive sampling technique is considered to be most suitable. Three hundred people with Type 2 diabetes in the Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, area who meet the study’s inclusion criteria make up the sample size.

Results: The impact of sitting breathing exercises (pranayamas) on blood glucose levels, with a mean score of 100 and a standard deviation (SD) of ± 84.8. Overall post-test means was (100) and SD was (± 85.28). Using a 0.05% t-test, the knowledge between the pre- and posttests was statistically evaluated. The difference is significant if the estimated t is greater than the value in the table (1.96). The statistically significant change in pre-test and post-test understanding of the effects of sitting breathing exercises (Pranayamas) on blood glucose levels can be attributed to the use of video-assisted instruction.

Conclusion: The sitting breathing exercise (pranayama’s) was a universal experience for Type 2 diabetic patients. Video-assisted teaching improved blood glucose levels in Type 2 diabetics. Thus, it might be a daily lifestyle, so blood glucose can be managed well. Health professionals caring for people with T2DM needed to accept the challenge of reducing blood glucose stress through videoassisted teaching.
