OBJECTIVES
STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM
“A pre examined study to assess the effectiveness of planned
teaching programme on knowledge regarding hospital acquired infections and
their prevention among the patients admitted in selected hospitals at Kalaburgi.”
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
ü To
assess the pre test knowledge of patients regarding hospital
acquired infections and their prevention.
ü To

teaching programme regarding hospital acquired infections
and their prevention.
ü To
assess the post test knowledge of patients regarding hospital
acquired infections and their prevention.
ü To assess the effectiveness of planned
teaching programme on knowledge regarding hospital acquired infections and
their prevention.
ü To
associate knowledge of patients regarding hospital acquired infections and
their prevention with demographic variables.
RESEARCH
HYPOTHESIS:-
ü H1 :- There will be
significant association between pre-test and post-test knowledge of patients regarding
hospital acquired infections and their prevention with their selected
demographic variables.
ü
H2 :- There will be significant difference in the level of knowledge
of patients regarding hospital acquired infections and their prevention before
and after planned teaching programme.
ASSUMPTIONS:
Ø Patients have basic knowledge regarding the nosocomial infection and
its prevention.
Ø Planned teaching programme
will enhance the knowledge of patients regarding the nosocomial infection and
its prevention.
OPERATIONAL
DEFINITIONS:-
In
this study:
ü ASSESS: In this study, it refers to the impact of planned
teaching programme on knowledge regarding nosocomial infection
ü EFFECTIVENESS: In this study it refers
to the extent to which the planned
teaching programme has achieved the desired outcome as measured by gain
in knowledge of patients through self administered knowledge questionnaire.
ü PLANNED TEACHING PROGRAMME: In this study it refers to the
systematically developed instructional and teaching aid prepared by the
investigator for patients to provide
information regarding hospital acquired infections and their prevention.
ü KNOWLEDGE:
In this study it refers to the correct response from the respondent regarding hospital
acquired infections and their prevention as elicited through self administered
knowledge questionnaire.
ü HOSPITAL
ACQUIRED INFECTION : It refers to the
infections which develop during hospitalization and were not incubating or
present at the time of admission to the hospital
ü HOSPITALIZED PATIENT: A
persons who are under the roof of health institute for the treatment.
CONCEPTUAL
FRAME WORK OF THE STUDY
A concept is an abstract idea or mental image of
phenomena or reality (Kozier 1989) . 25
A conceptual framework is the processor of a
theory. It provides broad perspectives for nursing practice, research and
education. Conceptual Framework plays several interrelated roles in the
progress of science. Their overall purpose is to make scientific findings
meaningful and generalizable.
The conceptual framework of the study is based
on the Ludwig Von Bertalanffy’s
(1968) General Systems Theory. 26
Ludwig
Von Bertalanffy’s General Systems Theory:-
A system consists of a set of interacting
components within a boundary that filters the type and rate of exchange with
the environment. All living systems are open in that there is a continual
system of matter, energy and interaction. In open systems there are varying
degrees of interaction with the environment from which the system receives
input and gives back output in the form of matter, energy and information. The
present study aim at evaluating the existing knowledge of
patients regarding nosocomial infection and its prevention.
According to the general system theory for
survival all systems must receive certain amount of matter, energy and
information from the environment. The system regulates the type and amount of
input received through the process of selection to maintain the system
equilibrium or homeostasis, the system uses input through self regulation.
Through the system matter, energy and information are continuously processed
and released as output. The system continuously monitors itself and environment
to guide its operation. The continuously information of environment responses
to the systems output is utilized by the system in adjustment correction
accommodation to the interaction with the environment. Feedback may be
positive, negative or neutral. In this present study these concepts are
explained as below.
In the present study these concepts can be
explained as follows: -
Input
Input consists of characteristics and conditions
of workers in this study, Input refers to the demographic variables- age, gender, religion, education, marital status, occupation,
family income per month, and source of information regarding nosocomial
infection and its prevention. The individuals own
personality affects their learning as well as aids in influencing others. Input
consists of characteristics and conditions of people and the resources. The
individuals own personality affects their learning as well as aids in
influencing others. In this study input refers to the source of information
regarding nosocomial infection and its prevention. .
Process
Process refers to the different operational
procedures of the Programme. They include assessment of the existing knowledge.
Output
The end product of a system is to improve the knowledge on nosocomial infection and its prevention.
The system returns output to the environment in an altered state affecting the
environment. Through post-test the output of the environment in an altered
state affecting the environment. After 3rd day of implementation of planned
teaching programme (Intervention), the output may be improved the knowledge of patients
on nosocomial infection and its prevention may
or may not be improved.
Feedback
Feedback is the process where by the output of
system is re-directed as part of the input of the same system. In the present
study, feedback can be measured by the output which could be either satisfied
or dissatisfied regarding the knowledge on nosocomial
infection and its prevention. After the
implementation of the planned teaching programme, it could be considered as
useful for improving the knowledge of the patients. If the level of knowledge on nosocomial infection
and its prevention has not satisfactorily improved,
then a feedback strategy on nosocomial infection and its prevention can be initiated, improved and modified by the investigator.
