A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Skill Competency Programme in Terms of Knowledge and Practice, Regarding Safe Oxygen Administration and Prevention

ACKGROUND Supplemental oxygen is a life saving treatment emergency situation, and it is frequently employed as a erapeutic agent in emergency and intensive care units. Additional oxygen administration, often at high levels, is frequently required to maintain adequate oxygen flow to essential organs. A skill competency program is designed to assess nurses knowledge and practice in terms of their abilities and competence related to any pic of concern and thereafter educating them and filling the gaps in air knowledge and practice with the aim to improve their onwards. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY 1.To develop the skill competency programme on safe oxygen administration and prevention of its complications. 2. To assess the pre test knowledge and practice regarding safe oxygen administration nd prevention of its complication. 3. To evaluate the effectiveness of kill competency programme on safe oxygen administration and prevention of its complication in experimental group. 4. To compare e post test score of knowledge and practice regarding safe oxygen administration and prevention of its complications, in experimental and control group. 5.To find the correlation between post test knowledge and practice scores in experimental group regarding safe oxygen administration and prevention of its complication. METHOD This study is quasi experimental, using a one equivalent pre test post test design. The most suited for comparing and evaluating the skill competency programs performance in terms of knowledge and practice about safe oxygen delivery and the prevention of complications among staff nurses working in a selected hospital in Meerut. The sample size was 100 people 50 samples in the control group and 50 samples in the experimental group . Non Probability Purposive Sampling technique was used to select samples from Chhatrapati Shivaji ubharti Hospital in Meerut for experimental group and Lala Lajpat ai Memorial hospital for control group. The knowledge and practice of the staff nurses were assessed using a structured knowledge questionnaire and modified practice checklists. The descriptive and inferential statistics were used to tabulate and analyses the data. RESULT The correlation between post test knowledge and practice score of staff nurses regarding safe oxygen administration and prevention of its complications. Post test knowledge and practice score of staff nurses calculated p value 0.0001 were compared by Karl s Pearson correlation coefficient as applied at 0.05 level of significance and r=0.11 which shows at there was a moderate positive relationship between knowledge nd practice in experimental group and practice score of staff nurses calculated p value 0.0001 compared by Karl s Pearson correlation efficient was applied at 0.05 level of significance and r=0.57 hich shows that there was a moderate positive relationship between knowledge and practice in control group. CONCLUSION There as a knowledge gap among staff nurses on safe oxygen administration and prevention of its complications using by the ruptured questionnaire. There was practice deficit among staff urses regarding safe oxygen administration and prevention of its complications using by the practice checklist and OSCE stations.
