        abstract = {Background & Objectives: Reproductive health encompasses the physical, mental and social well-being of individuals across all stages of life. Women in resettlement communities often have limited access to reproductive health information, increasing vulnerability to adverse outcomes. This study aimed to assess the pre- and post-test levels of knowledge and attitude regarding reproductive health among women residing at Sri Lankan Tamil Rehabilitation Camp, Annichakuppam, Tamil Nadu, and to evaluate the effectiveness of video-assisted teaching (VAT) as an educational intervention.
Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pre- and post-test design was employed. Thirty-eight women aged 21–45 years were selected by simple random sampling (lottery method). Data were collected using a structured interview schedule (30-item multiple-choice questionnaire) for knowledge and a modified 4-point Likert scale (15 items) for attitude. Video-assisted teaching of 25–30 minutes duration was administered, and post-test was conducted seven days later.
Results: At pre-test, 52.6% of participants had inadequate knowledge and 44.7% had moderately adequate knowledge. Following the intervention, 84.2% demonstrated moderately adequate knowledge and 2.6% demonstrated adequate knowledge. Regarding attitude, 81.6% had moderately favourable attitude at pre-test compared to 100% favourable attitude at post-test. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed a statistically significant improvement in both knowledge and attitude (P < 0.001). No significant association was found between knowledge/attitude scores and selected sociodemographic variables.
Interpretation & Conclusions: Video-assisted teaching was effective in significantly improving reproductive health knowledge and attitude among women in rehabilitation camps. Structured visual educational interventions should be integrated into community-level reproductive health programmes targeting marginalised populations.},
