ABSTRACT

The targets of the study are to assess the prevailing expertise concerning the use of partograph among the nursing

students, evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme (STP) on developing expertise regarding

partograph within the nursing college students and assess the pre-test knowledge rankings regarding partograph

with the chosen demographic variables of the nursing students. A pre experimental one group pre-test post-test

design was used. Statistics was accumulated with the aid of convenient sampling method from 48 (forty eight) 4th

year BSc Nursing students from a selected nursing college of Kanyakumari district of Tamilnadu. The tool included 5

demographic variables and 25 established know-how questionnaires regarding expertise on partograph. The pre-

test was conducted using an established interview questionnaire. STP changed into performed and guide became

given to every character following STP. After 7 days, post-test was performed using the same interview

questionnaire. Facts changed into analyzed by means of the use of inferential and descriptive information. The

study revealed that 35% of college students had mild knowledge and 65% had inadequate expertise in the pre-test

and after STP 35% had desirable/ adequate knowledge and 65% had moderate knowledge. Computed ‘ t’ test value

suggested that post-test knowledge score regarding partograph (17.52) was considerably higher than mean pre-

test knowledge score (11.01) at p<0.05 level. The ‘t’ cost changed into giant (t= 14.23) at p<0.05 degree indicating

the established teaching programme on information concerning partograph changed into effective.

Key Words: Structured teaching programme, Partograph, Nursing students.

improvement of information and abilities amongst student nurses, nurses and other fitness care specialists.

OBJECTIVES

1. To assess the knowledge of 4th

year BSc Nursing students regarding Partograph before and after administering

2. To find out association between knowledge and the selected demographic variables, such as Age, Gender,

Religion, Type of Family, Previous source of information.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

The conceptual framework turned into primarily based on Kenny’s Open machine version. All the dwelling

structures are open, in that there's non-stop trade of be counted, energy and records. Open system has changing

diploma of interaction with the surroundings from which the device receives enter, and offers back output within

the form of be counted energy and records. The main concepts of open gadget version are input, throughput,

output and feedback.

METHODOLOGY

Research approach

An experimental approach was used to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on

Partograph.

Research design

The study utilised Pre- experimental one group pre-test and post-test design. Pre-test was done on selected

samples by using tool I and tool II and then structured teaching programme was conducted. After 7 days of using

tool II, expertise was reassessed. The schematic representation of the present study design is as follows:
