Background Video-assisted teaching in the nursing field serves as a valuable and innovative tool to enhance the learning experience for students. When there is a demonstration technique available, video-based education can be a good replacement. As future nurses, nursing students need a comprehensive understanding of insulin therapy to effectively educate and empower patients in managing their condition. Objective To assess the effectiveness of a video-assisted teaching program in improving nursing students' knowledge and skills in insulin therapy. Method A quasi-experimental study was conducted among B.Sc. Nursing students from two Kathmandu University-affiliated colleges from 22nd March to 25th May 2024. Eligible students were allocated into the intervention group (n1=62) received both traditional demonstration and 10-minute video instruction, while the control group (n2=55) received only traditional demonstration. Baseline demographic data, knowledge, and skills were collected using self-administered questionnaires and a checklist. After four weeks, post-intervention assessments were conducted. Ethical approval and written informed consent was obtained. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 with descriptive statistics and inferential tests including t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Result Knowledge and skill scores significantly increased in both groups (p value < 0.001). However, the intervention group demonstrated a significantly higher increase in knowledge and skill scores compared to the control group, with p-values of 0.026 and <0.001, respectively. Conclusion The study indicates that video-assisted teaching effectively enhances nursing students' knowledge and skills in insulin administration. Nursing education programs in Nepal can integrate such tools to produce more competent and confident nurses.
