Educational Mission for Effective Vision

Abstract

Aim and Objective: To examine the knowledge and skill regarding prevention of computer vision syndrome
among computer science Students.
Methodology: A quasi experimental pre test post test design was chosen to assess the knowledge and skill
regarding prevention of computer vision syndrome among 60 computer science Students at Selected College,
Chennai. The samples were selected using simple random sampling (lottery method). Results: The findings
of the study showed that the pre test mean for knowledge was 8.41 with a standard deviation of 2.07 and the
post test mean for knowledge was 14.93 with a standard deviation of 2.65 and the post test mean for skill
was 34 with a standard deviation of 1.96 which indicated that there was statistically high level of significant
difference in the post test level of knowledge and skill among computer science Students at p<0.001 level.
Conclusion: The study infers that there was a significant improvement in the knowledge and skill regarding
prevention of computer vision syndrome among computer science Students after providing IEC cum
Demonstration.
