Abstract
A pre-experimental study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme (STP) on knowledge and practice regarding intravenous cannulation (IV) among the staff nurses. A sample of 60 staff nurses were selected by using convenience sampling technique. A pre-test was conducted using knowledge questionnaire to assess the knowledge and observational checklist to assess the practice regarding intravenous cannulation which was followed by structured teaching programme. On the 8th day, post-test was conducted using the same knowledge questionnaire and observational checklist. The findings revealed that majority 52 (86.7%) of the staff nurses had adequate knowledge and majority 47 (78.3%) of the staff nurses had improve in their practice in the post-test. There was significance difference between the pre-test and post-test knowledge score (t=13.72 at p<0.05level) and pre-test and post-test practice score (t=26.62 at p< 0.05 level). There was a high positive correlation (r=0.9) between the pre-test knowledge and practice score of the staff nurses. The pre-test knowledge score of the staff nurses was found to be associated with educational qualification. The pre test practice score of the staff nurses was found to be associated with age, educational qualification and year of experience.
