A Quasi Experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching method with those attending classrooms teaching method in terms of knowledge regarding ECG among third year and fourth year nursing students in selected colleges of nursing Ahmadabad Gujarat”. The main objectives of the study were to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching method with those attending classrooms teaching method in terms of knowledge regarding ECG among third year and fourth year nursing students in selected colleges of nursing Ahmadabad Gujarat”. The ‘General System Model’ adopted from Ludwig Von Bertalanaffy was used as the conceptual framework. A quantitative approach with comparative study design with quasi experimental approach was used to achieve the objectives of the study. The samples consisted of 60 third year and fourth year B.Sc Nursing students in selected colleges of Nursing. The Simple random sampling technique was used to collect the sample. A structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge regarding ECG among the students. The tool was validated by the experts. Cronbach alpha was used to establish the reliability of the tools. The tool was found to be valid and reliable. Data gathered was analyzed and interpreted using both descriptive and inferential statistic. The study shows that the majority (100%) were in the age group of 18-20 years in both group I and II. In group I, 1% were male and 99% were female and in group II, majority (100%) were female. In the classroom teaching method the majority (60%) of the students had average knowledge and in the video assisted teaching method majority (100%) of the students had good knowledge on ECG. The post test mean score of group I was 28 + 2.46 with the mean percentage of 66.67% after the classroom teaching and the post test mean score group II were 39.23 + 1.41 with the mean percentage of 93.41% after the video assisted teaching method. The calculated t-value was higher than the table value (t59=2.00, p<0.05). hence the null hypothesis was rejected. So it is inferred that the present study, there was significant difference between the post test score after classroom teaching method and video assisted teaching method on ECG among second and third year B.Sc. Nursing students. Therefore it can be concluded that the video assisted teaching method was effective. Based on the finding the following recommendations were proposed for future research: Similar study can be replicated on a large sample with similar baseline characteristics. A similar study can be replicated in more than one college of Nursing.
