SUMMARY

 

INTRODUCTION

The chapter provides the summery about the present study. The primary aim of the study was to find out the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding nosocomial infection and its prevention among the patients.

STATEMENT OF 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 plan and implement planned 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.

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.

The conceptual framework of present study was based on Ludwig Von Bertalanffys General system theory (1968). The review of literature related to knowledge about prevelance, types, prevention and effectiveness of planned teaching programme.

The sample for this study comprised 50 patients. Purposive non-probability sampling technique was used to draw the sample for research study.

The tool developed and used for data collection were socio- demographic proforma, structured knowledge questionnaires to assess the knowledge level of patients regarding nosocomial infection and its prevention. Nine experts validated the content of the tool and it was found to be reliable and feasible. The reliability of the tools was established by prophecy using Spit half technique.

Pilot study was conducted from 10/01/2021 to 15/01/2021 as part of major study. Tool proved to be comprehensive, feasible and acceptable. The main study (data collection) was conducted from 20/01/2021 to 05/01/2021 after obtaining permission from the medical superindentent of selected hospitals. The investigator personally explained patients (respondents) the need, purposes and assuring them the confidentiality of their responses given. The data collected by structured interview schedule method and the collected data was analyzed. The data gathered were analyzed and interpreted according to the objectives. The collected data was summarized and tabulated by utilizing descriptive statistics (percentage, mean and median and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (unpaired‘t’ test and Chi -square test).

 

RESULTS:

The results of the study shown that pre-test overall knowledge score of patients regarding nosocomial infection and its prevention was 43.7%, mean and the standard deviation was 2.3. During post-test overall knowledge score of patients was 76.0% mean and standard deviation was 2.7. Hence the difference between pretest and post-test overall knowledge score was 32.3%. So the results of the study shown the difference between the pre-test and post-test knowledge score of the patients regarding nosocomial infection and its prevention was statistically significant and the difference is due to the administration of planned teaching programme to patients regarding nosocomial infection and its prevention. The analysis revealed that there is significant association was found with – religion, educational qualification, marital status and occupation at p < 0.05 and no association could be found with other demographic variables of patients.
