Infectious disease is a major public health issue for both developed and developing countries. Among infectious diseases, tuberculosis (TB) is most prevalent in the develop- ing countries. India is the highest TB burden country in the world and accounts for nearly one fifth (20%) of global burden of tuberculosis. A pre-experimental design where pre- and post-test without control group with experimental approach was undertaken in Kuchinda block of Sambalpur district (Odisha) with the objectives to assess effectiveness of Video-assisted Teaching Module (VATM) on knowledge of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) regarding Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) Data were collected from 52 ASHAs, selected by systematic random sampling technique through structured questionnaire. The overall mean score in pre-test was 23.31±3.07 which is 58.27 percent of maximum score and good knowledge whereas it was 34.35±3.56 while post-test it was 85.87 percent of maximum score during post-test showing a difference of 27.6 percent effectiveness. Highly significant (p<0.01) differ- ence was found between pre- and post-test knowledge score and no significant (>0.05) association was found between post-test knowledge score when compared to all the demographic variables of ASHAs.
传染病对发达国家和发展中国家而言都是一个重大的公共卫生问题。在传染病中，结核病在发展中国家最为普遍。印度是全球结核病负担最重的国家，占全球结核病负担的近五分之一（20%）。在桑巴尔布尔县（奥里萨邦）的库钦达街区采用了一种前实验设计，即采用实验方法，在没有对照组的情况下进行前后测试，目的是评估视频辅助教学模块（VATM）对经认可的社会健康活动家（ASHAs）关于修订后的国家结核病控制规划（RNTCP）知识的有效性。通过结构化问卷，采用系统随机抽样技术从52名ASHAs中收集数据。测试前的总体平均得分为23.31±3.07，占最高分的58.27%，知识水平良好；而测试后的平均得分为34.35±3.56，占最高分的85.87%，显示有效性差异为27.6%。测试前后的知识得分之间存在高度显著差异（p<0.01），与ASHAs的所有人口统计学变量相比，测试后的知识得分之间未发现显著关联（>0.05）。
