Introduction: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an inflamed and infectious condition of female reproductive system. Infection spread from lower genital tract to upper genital tract. Multiple factors are involved in PID. In India, prevalence of PID among gynecological diseases is 3-10%. Rural Women in reproductive age group are more prone to PID. Methodology: In the present study, quantitative research approach was selected to conduct the study. Pre experimental approach and one group pretest posttest design were used to assess the effectiveness of Video assisted teaching module on knowledge regarding PID among married women of reproductive age group. The study was conducted in 2018 among 60 married women of selected rural community of Raipur, Dehradun. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the participants. Results: Out of 60 women, it was observed that majority of married women 20(33.3%) were in 34-41 years age group. Half of the participants were got married in age group of 18-21 years. Majority of the subjects 35(58.3%) had no knowledge about PID. Mostly participants 48(80%) have no family history of PID. Findings show that the mean pre test knowledge score was 12.60 with standard deviation 5.403 which increased after intervention to the mean post test knowledge score 23.13 with standard deviation 3.228. The calculated ‘t’ value (t59 = 17.524) was significantly higher than the table value. Conclusion: The study revealed that video assisted module was significantly effective to enhance the knowledge of rural women regarding PID and its prevention. There was a significant association among education, knowledge regarding PID and family history of PID with post test knowledge scores. There is a need to aware the women regarding gynecological diseases and its prevention.
