Structured Teaching Programme, Knowledge, Braden Scale, Prevention of Pressure ulcer, Staff Nurses

Background: Pressure ulcer is common in a variety of patient setting and is associated with adverse health outcomes and high treatment costs. A Pressure sore (or Bed-sore) is an injury to the skin and tissue under it, and caused usually by unrelieved Pressure, constant Pressure against the skin which reduces the blood supplies to that area and the affected tissue will be necroses. The Braden scale is a widely used pressure risk assessment tool with highly satisfactory reliability 0.99 when used by registered nurses. The present study focused on assessment of the knowledge level of staff nurses on prevention of pressure ulcer by using Braden scale. Objectives: To assess the pre-test and post-test level of knowledge on prevention of pressure ulcer by using Braden Scale. To assess the effectiveness of the structured teaching program. To associate the pre-test level of knowledge with the selected socio demographic variables. Materials and Method: A pre experimental one group pre-test post-test design was used. In this study all the subjects were selected by convenience sampling technique and assessed pre-test knowledge level with structured questionnaire, all the respondents had poor practice of pressure ulcer risk assessment and its prevention. Administered structured teaching program on use of Braden scale on prevention of pressure ulcer and post assessment was done. The structured knowledge questionnaires was prepared containing a set of questions, were being filled by the researcher, the investigator collected the data from 60 staff nurses who working in Narayan Medical College and Hospital Jamuhar, Rohtas. Results: Out of 60 samples, the overall pre-test knowledge scores of staff nurses were 3 (5%) had good knowledge, 45 (75%) had average knowledge, 12 (20%) had poor knowledge. Whereas, in post-test, maximum staff nurses 48 (80%) had good knowledge, 12 (20%) had average knowledge scores and none of them had poor knowledge regarding use of Braden scale in predicting pressure sore risk. There was significant gain in knowledge score who were exposed to structured teaching programme i.e. 75%. The paired ‘t’ test value (tcal=16.42) was greater than the stated hypothesis i.e. mean post-test knowledge scores of staff nurses who have been exposed to structured teaching programme will be significantly higher than the mean pre-test knowledge scores at 0.05 level of significance. It was found that there was no significant association between knowledge scores of staff nurses with selected socio demographic variables. Conclusion: Majority of staff nurses had poor knowledge regarding use of Braden scale on prevention of pressure ulcer. Structure teaching program is utilized in this study was effective in improving the level of knowledge regarding use of Braden scale on prevention of pressure ulcer.
