Abstract
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY: 1. To assess the knowledge of staff nurses on Partograph before & after self- instructional module. 2. To compare mean pretest & mean post test knowledge scores on partograph among the samples. 3. To implement & evaluate the effectiveness of self- instructional module on Partograph among the staff nurses. 4. To find association between pretest level of knowledge on partograph among samples with selected demographic variables. 16 METHODOLOGY The research approach used for this study was quantitative approach and the research design was quasi- experimental design. 60 staff nurses were selected for this study by using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected with the help of Self- administered questionnaire on partograph. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (chi – square, paired “t” test) were used to analyze the data and to test hypothesis. RESULTS: Most of the samples (25%) were in the age group 21-25 years, 31.67% had completed B.Sc (N), 66.66% of samples were equally divided in the categories < 5 years and 11-15 years, 56.67% of them had not attended in- service programme on partograph. In the pretest on partograph, 33.3% of the staff nurses had inadequate knowledge, 60% of them had moderately adequate knowledge and 6.7% of them had adequate knowledge. In the posttest on partograph, 0% of the staff nurses had inadequate knowledge, 23.3% of them had moderately adequate knowledge and 76.7% of them had adequate knowledge. The difference between the overall pretest and posttest mean scores was 9.45, which revealed the effectiveness of the self- instructional module on partograph. Hence there was a significant increase in knowledge of the staff nurses regarding partograph after their exposure to the self- instructional module on partograph. There was significant association between the pretest knowledge of the staff nurses with the demographic variables namely educational qualification, years of experience and exposure to in- service education. There was no significant association between the pretest knowledge of the staff nurses with the demographic variable “age”. CONCLUSION: The study is based on the fact that “improving the professional competencies of the staff nurses by educating them about the current innovations is very essential”. This study could be considered as a part of continuing professional development of the staff nurses. Self- instructional module on partograph served that purpose and was effective in increasing the knowledge of staff nurses.
