A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme on Knowledge regarding Post Operative Management of Patients with CABG among Staff Nurses Working in Post Operative Cardiac Units of Selected Hospitals at Guntur

Cardiovascular disease is the world's leading killer, accounting for 16.7 million or 29.2per cent of total global deaths. Heart-attack victims are just the first wave of a swelling population of Asians with heart problems; global cardiovascular disease related deaths now occur in nations which cover most countries in Asia. Objectives of the Study: The objectives of the study are1. To determine the level of knowledge among staff nurses regarding post operative management of patients withCABG.2To evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on level of knowledge regarding post operative management of patients with CABG among staff nurses in Post Operative CardiacUnits.3. To find out the association between levels of knowledge regarding post operative management of patients with CABG among staff nurses in Post Operative Cardiac Units with their selected demographic variables. Hypothesis: The following hypotheses will be tested at 0.05 level of significance. H1: Mean posttest knowledge score of postoperative management of patients with CABG among staff nurses in Post Operative Cardiac Units will be significantly higher than mean pretest knowledge score. H2: There will be significant association between pretest level of knowledge score of staff nurses regarding post operative management of patients with CABG and with their demographic variables. Major Findings of the Study: comparison between mean scores of both pre-test and post-test level of knowledge among staff nurses working in post operative cardiac units regarding post operative management of CABG. The mean value of pre-test is 15.3 with standard deviation of. The mean percentage is 51%. The mean value of post-test is 24.72 with standard deviation of. The mean percentage is 82.4% the ?t? value is 14.2190. Table value at ?f is 2.008 at o.05 level. So that calculated value is difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores. With the mean difference of 9.42. There is no significant association between their selected demographic variables like age, gender, educational qualification, income. There is an significant association between the selected demographic variables such as religion X2 =17.284 p=.00176 df = 3. Hence h2 is partially accepted.
