Abstract
The act of breathing is essential to sustain life. When this essential function is affected either by airway obstruction or tissue destruction there is an emergency need for a support system. Endo-Tracheal Intubation is not curative. It is a means of supporting patients until they recover the ability to breathe independently. Hence a quasi-experimental design was used to assess the effectiveness of PTP on knowledge and practice regarding nursing management of patients with endo-tracheal tube among staff nurses in Selected Hospital, Bhopal. Objectives 1. To assess the existing knowledge and practice regarding nursing management of patients with endo-tracheal tube among staff nurses. 2. To assess the post-test knowledge and practice regarding nursing management of patients with endo-tracheal tube among staff nurses. 3. To evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching program on the knowledge and practice regarding nursing management of patients with endo-tracheal tube among staff nurses. 4. To compare the pretest and posttest knowledge and practice score regarding nursing management of patients with endo-tracheal tube among staff nurses. 5. To determine the association between the posttest knowledge regarding nursing management of patients with endo-tracheal tube among staff nurses to their selected demographic variables. Methodology The target population for the study were 60 staff nurses. A non-probability purposive sampling technique using structured interview schedule was used and was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result Findings revealed that the pretest knowledge mean score was (13.2 ±4.88) which is 44% of the total score whereas; during posttest the total mean score was (19.02±3.86) which is 65.8% of the total score. The pretest practice mean score (10±2.28) which is 68.9% of the total score whereas, during posttest the total score was (14.38±1.73) which is 79.5% of total score. There was a significant association found between the posttest Knowledge Score when compared with the selected demographic variables of staff nurses. Conclusion Hence the present study concluded that there is a strong need to create awareness about management of patients with endo-tracheal intubation.
