A STUDY TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SELF INSTRUCTIONAL MODULE ON KNOWLEDGE REGARDING THE USE OF DEFIBRILLATOR AMONG STAFF NURSES WORKING IN RAMA HOSPITAL

Abstract

B.Sc Nursing students deal with the College setting as well as Hospital setting so, they come in contact with a large number of people, their level of knowledge can be increased with the implication of self instructional module on knowledge regarding the use of defibrillator among staff nurses. Pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test with quantitative research approach used. Study was conducted in Rama Hospital and Research Centre, Mandhana Kanpur. 30 staff nurses were selected by using non-probability convenient sampling technique. Collected data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics, level of knowledge score reveals that in pre-test 2 is the minimum score and 14 is the maximum score mean score was 7.34 with SD 0.51. Post-test level of knowledge score reveals that in post-test minimum score is 7 and maximum score is 18 (mean score was 12.66 with SD of 0.46. Significant difference was found between pre-test and post-test knowledge score. In pre-test mean score was found to be 7.34 and SD 0.51 and post-test mean score was found to be 12.66 and SD 0.46. The comparison of mean pre-test and post-test knowledge score shows an extremely significant difference at p< 0.05 level (t value = 9.05) so hypothesis H1 is accepted which indicated that SIM on knowledge regarding the use of defibrillator is extremely effective. Key Words : SIM, Defibrillator.
