        abstract = {Introduction: The main aim of the present study was “To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on the knowledge regarding child abuse among school age children in selected school at vadnagar ” Objective: To assess the existing knowledge on child abuse among school age children. To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching regarding child abuse among the school age children. To find out the association between the pretest knowledge level of the school age children with their selected demographic variables. Methodology: Methodology is the systematic, theoretic analysis of the methods, applied to the field of research. It comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associate with a branch of knowledge. It was a quantitative study. Pre experimental .one group pretest-posttest design was used. Probability systematic random sampling technique was used to select the samples. The sample consists of 30school age children studying class VI, VII and VIII from vadnagar matriculation school who came under the inclusion criteria. The prepared tool and teaching module was validated by the experts of medical and nursing professionals. Pilot study was done and the tool was found to be reliable. Pretest was conducted by using self-administered questionnaire. Video assisted teaching was implemented and the post test was conducted after a period of one week. Data analysis was done by computing frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, paired‘t’ test and chi- square test. Result: The findings show that among the 30 school age children, 20 (66.7%) had inadequate knowledge, 10 (33.3%) had moderate knowledge and 0 (0%) had adequate knowledge in the pretest. The level of knowledge was improved after intervention and in the posttest 13 (43.3%) had moderate knowledge and17 (56.7%) had adequate knowledge. The findings revealed that, among the school age children the pretest mean was 9.7 and the posttest mean was 21, so mean difference 11.3 was a true difference and the standard deviation of pretest was 3.4 and posttest was 2.9. The calculated paired ‘t’ value was 26 was highly significant than the table value (2.6) at 0.05 level. Hence the stated hypothesis was accepted. Conclusion:  The study proved that video assisted teaching on child abuse was effective in improving the knowledge of the school age children. The study findings revealed that knowledge was significantly improved by video assisted teaching on child abuse.},
