Abstract

The current study aimed to assess effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding infection control among specialised care unit nurses in selected hospitals of Raigarh, Chhattisgarh. Pre experimental one group pre test and post design is utilized to achieve the stated. Objectives: To prepare the structured teaching programme regarding Infection control. 2. To assess the pre-test and post-test knowledge score regarding infection control among specialised care nurses. 3. To assess the pre-test and post-test practice score regarding infection control among specialised care nurses 4. To assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme. 5. To find out the association between the pre-test knowledge with selected demographic variable. 6. To find out the associate between pre-test practice with the selected demographic variables. 7. To correlate post-test knowledge and practice of specialised care unit nurses regarding infection control. Hypothesis: H1- There will be significant difference between pre and post-test knowledge scores regarding infection control among specialised care unit nurses at 0.05 level of significance. H2- There will be no significant difference between pre and post-test practice scores regarding infection control among specialised care unit nurses at 0.05 level of significance. H3- There will be significant association between pre-test knowledge scores with their selected demographic variables at 0.05 level of significance. H4- There will be significant association between pre-test practice scores regarding infection control among specialised care unit nurses with their selected demographic variables at 0.05 level of significance H5- There will be significant co-relation between post-test knowledge and practice scores regarding infection control among specialised care unit nurses at 0.05 level of significance. Projected Outcome: In the present study Pre experimental one group pre test and post design is used to achieve the stated objectives. The study was based Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) evaluation model and Kirkpatrick’s learning evaluation model. Context Input Process Product evaluation model was developed by Daniel L Stuffle Beam in 1996 and further updated throughout the years with update 2002. A quantitative research approach is used and pilot study was conducted to confirm the feasibility of the study. For main study total enumerative sampling technique Sample size for this study was 60 specialised care unit staff nurses in selected hospitals of Raigarh, Chhattisgarh. The tool used for data collection consists of socio-demographic variables and Self structured questionnaire to assess the knowledge and practice, Nurses performance observational check list regarding infection control among specialised care unit nurses in selected hospitals of Raigarh, Chhattisgarh.
