| Sumario: | Introduction: Peripheral intravenous therapy is one of the most
frequently used therapeutic interventions in the acute care
setting. Paediatric intravenous cannulation is a fundamental part
of medication and practised in almost every health care setting.
Intravenous therapy is used to treat a wide variety of paediatric
conditions. Although most hospitalised children receive intravenous
(i.v.) therapy daily, treatment extends beyond this population to
Out Patient (OP) settings, long term care and home care for the
infusion of fluids, blood products, and medications.
Aim: To assess the effectiveness of planned teaching program on
knowledge and practice regarding intravenous therapy among
paediatric nurses.
Materials and Methods: The present pre-experimental,quantitative,
non randomised, one group pre and post test design study was
conducted in Paediatric Ward, Paediatric Intensive Care Unit
(PICU) and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of ‘G’ block, Sri
Ramachandra Hospital (SRH), Porur, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India from
11th July 2016 to 20th August 2016. Self administered questionnaire
and observational checklist was used to collect data about
knowledge and practice respectively. Non probability purposive
sampling technique was used to select the 30 staff nurses working
in the paediatric department with less than one year of experience.
Results: The difference between the mean post-test knowledge
score (M=16.20, SD=2.041) and pretest knowledge score (M=7.43,
SD=2.254) of paediatric staff nurses was highly significant (p-value
<0.001) and the computed t-value was t=26.7. The difference
between the mean post-test practice score (M=15.13, SD=2.063)
and pretest mean practice score (M=10.70, SD=2.380) was also
highly significant (p-value <0.001) and the computed t-value was
t=8.215.
Conclusion: The present study shows that there was a significant
difference in the mean scores of knowledge and practice between
pretest and post-test after the planned teaching program
intervention at the level of paediatric nurses (p<0.001). So planned
teaching program was effective on knowledge and practice
regarding intravenous therapy among paediatric staff nurses. |
