Antenatal examination is systemic supervision of a woman during pregnancy. It is of two types general & obstetrical examination. Antenatal examination during pregnancy is important to detect any abnormality, and also for maternal & fetal wellbeing. The aim of antenatal examination is to optimize maternal and fetal health, by proper & prompt management. Objectives-The main objective was to assess the knowledge regarding antenatal examination among B.Sc. (N) 4th year students & to evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching regarding antenatal examination through post-test knowledge scores. Method- Quantitative research approach & “pre-experimental (one group pre-test & post-test) research design” was adopted. Sampling Technique was “Total Enumeration sampling technique” & sample size was 50 B.Sc. (N) 4th year students taken from Vivekananda college of Nursing. Result-The result of the study revealed that in pre-test, majority (54%) had inadequate level of knowledge, (42%) of sample subjects were having moderate level of knowledge whereas (4%) of sample were having adequate knowledge. After administration of Video Assisted Teaching Programme mean post-test value shows that majority (70 %) had adequate level of knowledge, (26%) of sample were having moderate level of knowledge whereas only (4%) of sample subjects were having inadequate knowledge. Mean knowledge scores of sample subjects in pre-test were 14.82 ± 4.369 which was less than mean post-test knowledge scores i.e., 22.80 ± 4.295, this change was found to be statistically significant (p=0.05). Conclusion- The study concluded that the student nurses had inadequate knowledge regarding antenatal examination and need to improve the knowledge level of B.Sc. (N) 4th year students. The study findings reveal that after administration of VATP, knowledge in post-test was improved which shows that it is an effective strategy to improve knowledge.
