EFFECTIVENESS OF E-MODULE REGARDING COMPUTER VISION SYNDROME AND ITS MANAGEMENT: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a condition in which a person experiences one or more of eye symptoms as a result of prolonged working on a computer (1) . Effectiveness of e- module on knowledge regarding computer vision syndrome and its management among computer professionals, 200 samples were selected for the study. The design adopted for the study was one group pre testpost test design. The finding shows that there is a significant difference between pre test and post test result, Z test value was 37.4which were significant at 0.05 level.

Int. J. Adv. Res. 9(05), 248-252 249 Section A: Socio demographic data. This section consist of 10 items pertinent to the demographic data of the computer professionals regarding the gender, age, education, area of residence, How many hours you use computer in a day?, Do you have any vision problem after using computer?, Professional education, Monthly Income, Occupation, Experience in computer field.

Section B:
Comprises of 45 question related to computer vision syndrome.

Data collection procedure:
Data collection was carried out from 10 -05 -2020 to 1 -06 -2020. Formal written permission was taken from research committee and college. Probability simple random technique was done and self structured questionnaire was adopted to approach the subject consent of the sample was taken for collection of data. Each day 10-12 samples were assessed 30-45 min were spent on each sample. Total 20 days were spent for data collection. (145). 5. Distribution of subject according to type of how many hours you use computer in a day?Maximum subjects were using 69% (138) subjects were using computer >6hrs in a day. 6. Distribution of subject according to do you have any vision problem after using computer?69% (138) subjects were having vision problem after using computer. 7. Distribution of subject according to professional education.Maximum subjects 61.5% (123) have other course. 8. Distribution of subjects according to monthly income. Maximum subjects 63% (126) were having monthly income more than Rs. 10000. 9. Distribution of subjects according to occupation. Maximum subjects 68% (136) were doing other occupation. 10. Distribution of subjects according to experience in computer field. Maximum subjects 63.5% (127) were having above 4 yrs experience in computer field.

Results:-
Section II -Comparison of knowledge scores between pretest and post test by frequency, percentage and total score. N =200. The statistical paired z-test implies that the difference in the pre test and post test knowledge score found highly statistically significant 37.4 which is higher then table value at >0.05, which proves the effectiveness of e -module. Hence H1 is accepted.

Discussion:-
On the basis of the findings of the study, the following Discussionwas drawn: comparison of knowledge scores between pretest and post test in which 11.5% (23) have good knowledge regarding computer vision syndrome and its management in the pre test. In the post test knowledge level, majority of computer professional 69% (138) has good knowledge regarding computer vision syndrome and its management.
pre test mean knowledge score was 16.75 standard deviation of pre test knowledge score was 15, and mean percentage of pre test knowledge score was 49.68%. And post testmean knowledge score was 39.2 standard deviation of post test knowledge score was 37.5 and mean percentage of post test knowledge score was 92.96%.
Comparison of mean knowledge score of pre test 16.75 with combined standard deviation 8.6, mean knowledge score of post test 39, the mean difference is 22.7.
The statistical paired z-test implies that the difference in the pre test and post test knowledge score found highly statistically significant 37.4 which is higher then table value at >0.05, which proves the effectiveness of self instructional module. Hence H1 is accepted.

Conclusion:-
From the data analysis and findings of the study it is concluded that the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of E -Module on Computer Vision Syndrome and its management. The observations reported here support the following a significant issues were found in computer professionals. The statistical paired z-test implies that the difference in the pre test and post test knowledge score found highly statistically significant 37.4 which is higher then table value at >0.05, which proves the effectiveness of e-module.

Significance of present work:
The researcher has drawn the following implication of work from the study which are of the field of Nursing Service, Nursing Administration, Nursing Education, Nursing Research.
The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of e-module on knowledge regarding computer vision syndrome and its Management among computer professionals in selected area of Bhopal MP. The findings of the present study were applicable in the field of Nursing Education, Nursing Practice, Nursing Administration and Nursing Research.
Nursing Practice 1. The study has got a long term visionary implication in terms nursing practice. 2. Advanced nursing practice is one of the evolving trends in nursing practice which definite specified roles of nurse clinician, nurse practitioner etc are emerging. Studies like present one contribute to development of a new specialization itself in nursing of that of "nurse ergonomist" (Ergonomics is known as the science of human
