Maternal mortality Worldwide nearly 6 Lakh mothers between the age of 15-49 years die every year due to complication arising from pregnancy and childbirth.Kegel exercises are the most popular method of reinforcing pelvic floor muscles. They were first described in 1948 by the American gynecologist Arnold Kegel. The squeeze and hold vaginal exercises known as Kegel’s were specifically designed to target pelvic floor strengthening which damage due to vaginal delivery. Material and Methods: A Pre-experimental one group Pre-test post-test research design was adopted to conduct the study. Target population was B.Sc. Nursing 3<sup>rd</sup> year students. A purposive sampling technique was utilized for selecting a sample of 60 B.Sc. Nursing 3<sup>rd</sup> year students. Section A: - Deals with the socio-demographic variables such as Age, Residence, types of family, period of exposure in Clinical area, Previous knowledge about Kegel exercise and Source of knowledge. Section B: - Deals with self-structured knowledge questionnaire to assess the knowledge regardingKegel exercise on episiotomy pain and wound healing among B.Sc. Nursing 3<sup>rd</sup> year students. Result: Analysis of pre-test and post-test knowledge score using frequency, percentage and total score indicates that out of 60 B.Sc. Nursing 3<sup>rd</sup> year students in pre-test majority 3.33% (02) were in good, 63.33% (38) were in averageand 33.33% (20) sample were in need to improve on knowledge regardingKegel exercise on episiotomy pain and wound healingand in post-test majority 76.66% (46) sample were in good, 23.33% (14) were average and 0% (0) were in need to improve.which proves the effectiveness of the video assisted teaching programme.Chi-square analysis shows significant association between knowledge and previous knowledge of subjects, source of information of subjects. Conclusion: A study that conducted the use of video assisted teaching programmeregardingKegel exercise on episiotomy pain and wound healingwas effective in increase knowledge among B.Sc.
