Abstract

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: Effectiveness of planned teaching programme on prevention of bloodstream infection following central venous catheter insertion among staff nurses working in selected hospitals at Coimbatore. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the present study are: 1. To determine the level of knowledge among staff nurses on prevention of bloodstream infection following central venous catheter insertion. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching programme among staff nurses on prevention of bloodstream infection following central venous catheter insertion. 3. To find the association of pre-test knowledge score with selected demographic variables. METHODOLOGY: An evaluatory research approach with pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was used for this study. Fifty staff nurses working in ICU were selected by purposive sampling technique. The tool was validated by seven experts. Reliability was established by Karl Pearson coefficient correlation formula and it was found to be 0.78, which indicated that the tool is reliable. Data were collected using a tructured knowledge questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: The result of the study showed that most of the staff nurses (86%) had poor knowledge on prevention of blood stream infection following CVC insertion. CONCLUSION: The findings of the study indicate that PTP on prevention of blood stream infection following CVC insertion was effective in improving the knowledge of staff nurses working in ICU. So PTP is a most important tool in nursing practice which informs, motivates and maintains skilled nursing care to the patients. Through genuine attempt of teaching to the staff nurses’ quality care of patients with CVCs can be improved.
