ABSTRACT:
A quasi-experimental study was done to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding documentation of selected assessment scales among ICU nurses working in selected hospitals in Kollam. The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledge regarding documentation of selected assessment scales, to assess the practice regarding documentation of selected assessment scales, to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding documentation of selected assessment scales, to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on practice regarding documentation of selected assessment scales, to find out the association between pre-test knowledge score among ICU nurses with selected demographic variables, to find out the association between pre-test practice score among ICU nurses with selected demographic variables. Conceptual framework used was Imogene King’s theory of goal attainment. Quantitative research approach was used with nonrandomized control group design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 ICU nurses who met the inclusion criteria. Pre-test was done on the first day using knowledge questionnaire followed by Structured Teaching Programme to all the 30 sample (experimental group) and post-test on the 7th day. The findings of the study showed that, there was a significant increase in mean post-test knowledge and practice score of samples (p < 0.05) regarding documentation of selected assessment scales among ICU nurses of selected hospitals in Kollam after structured teaching programme. The study concluded that knowledge and practice level of nurses regarding documentation of assessment scales was improved after administration of the Structured Teaching Programme.
