Abstract
Background: When it comes to hospital-acquired illnesses, the most prevalent one to face is ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). 27 percent of all critically sick patients are infected with pneumonia, making it the second most frequent nosocomial infection. Onegroup pre-test and post-test study design was employed in the quantitative research technique. It was done in Krishna hospital in karad. Simple random sampling was used to choose 60 Intensive care unit staff nurses. Structured questionnaires were used to gather the data. An in-depth statistical analysis was performed on the collected data. Staff nurses' pre-test and post-test knowledge scores were 10.516 and 16.633, respectively, and the mean difference was 6.117, with a computed t value of 17.712 that is statistically significant at a level of 0.001 (p 0.001), indicating a statistically significant difference. It has been shown that the proposed educational programme is successful in improving the understanding of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).
