ABSTRACT:
Investigator conducted a study to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on selected neurological assessment in terms of knowledge and practice among staff nurses working in selected units of selected hospitals of Ahmedabad city, Gujarat state. The objectives of the study were a) To assess the knowledge of staff nurses on selected neurological assessment before and after administration of planned teaching programme in selected hospitals of Ahmedabad city, Gujarat state. b) To assess the practice of staff nurses on selected neurological assessment before and after administration of planned teaching programme in selected hospitals of Ahmedabad city, Gujarat state. c) To find out association of pre-test knowledge scores of staff nurses on selected neurological assessment with selected demographic variable in selected hospitals of Ahmedabad city, Gujarat state. d) To find out association of pre-test practice scores of staff nurses on selected neurological assessment with selected demographic variable in selected hospitals of Ahmedabad city, Gujarat state. Quantitative Pre experimental approach was used with one group pre test post test design. The investigator used convenient sampling technique for selecting 40 samples. A structured knowledge questionnaire and structured observational checklist were prepared to assess the knowledge and practice of the samples. The reliability of the structured knowledge questionnaire was determined by test retest method and observational checklist was determined by inter observer method 'by using karl pearson's correlation co-efficient formula’. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used to analyze the data. Significance of the difference between pre test and post test knowledge and practice was statistically tested using paired t test and it was found significant at 0.05 level. There was significant increase in the knowledge and practice of the staff nurses after the administration of the planned teaching programme on selected neurological assessment. Hence it was concluded that planned teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge and practice of staff nurses working in intensive care units of selected hospitals of Ahmedabad city, Gujarat state. The association between the pre test score and demographic variables was tested using the chi-square test. It revealed that there was significant association between pre test knowledge score with selected demographic variables like gender and professional qualification. Also, it revealed that there was significant association between pre test practice score with selected demographic variables like age, professional qualification and work experience in intensive care units.
