ABSTRACT
The sensory and emotional experience of pain plays an important protective role in human health and well-being, by alerting a person to actual or potential physical injury. Appropriate pain management has been shown to be associated with better overall patient results, shorter length of hospitalization, and reduced cost of care. Thus the present Study was planned to assess the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on Knowledge regarding Pain Assessment and Management among Staff Nurses working in Adesh Hospital Bathinda, Punjab”.
Objectives: 1.To Assess the Knowledge Regarding Pain Assessment and Management among Experimental and Control Group By Conducting Pre-Test. 2.To Assess the Knowledge Regarding Pain Assessment and Management among Experimental and Control Group By Conducting Post-Test. 3.To Compare the Knowledge Regarding Pain Assessment and Management Between Experimental and Control Group. 4.To Find the Association Between the Level of Knowledge among Experimental Group and Control Group with their Selected Socio Demographic Variables. Quasi Experimental One Group Pre-Test and Post-Test Design with Control design was used. An Evaluative Approach was adopted to conduct the Study.60 Staff nurses were selected using Non Probability Convenience Sampling Technique in Adesh Hospital of Bathinda, Punjab. The Researcher Approached the Eligible Staff Nurses and those who were willing to participate in the Study were required to sign a Consent Form, Fill the Questionnaire and then Return to the Research Immediately. Pre- Test was conducted in Both Experimental and Control Group and after that STP was given to the Experimental Group and Post- Test was conducted after 7 Days of Teaching in Both the Groups.
Results: Before Administering STP, by Conducting Pre-Test in Both the Experimental And Control Groups, It was found that the Majority 27(90%) of Respondents had below average Knowledge Regarding Pain Assessment And Management in Experimental Group and 26(86.7%) in Control Group. The Mean Percentage and SD of Pre-Test Score Was 26.25% with SD +/-2.675 in Experiment Group and 27.17% with SD +/-2.897 in Control Group. With implementation of Structured Teaching programme among respondents in Experimental Group, the Knowledge Mean Percentage And SD For Post-Test Was 70.67% With SD+/- 2.067 increased Respectively. This shows there was a significant improvement in the Knowledge of Staff Nurses Regarding Pain Assessment and Management. In The Present Study Paired T- Test was done to compare between Pre- Test and Post- Test to Compute the Mean Knowledge Scores. Therefore, the Result Shows a Significant Difference Between Pre-Test Knowledge Score and Post-Test Knowledge Score of Experimental Group Calculated at t=26.557, P=<0.0005.Hence, Structured Teaching Programme was highly effective in improving the Knowledge of Staff Nurses Regarding Pain Assessment and Management. There was No Statistically Significant Association found Between Knowledge Scores of the Respondents and Selected Demographic Variables.
Conclusion The results provided valuable information to the Staff Nurses Regarding Pain Assessment and Management and Effectiveness of STP Were Seen from the Results of Post- Test. It depicts that there is significant increase in the Knowledge Level of Staff Nurses. This Study Concluded that STP is Effective Tool to improve the Knowledge of Staff Nurses Regarding Pain Assessment and Management.
