ABSTRACT

The study involved pre - experimental one group pre-test and post-test research design, with Non probability purposive sampling technique. Information was collected from 50 staff nurses working in selected children’s hospitals, using the structured knowledge questionnaire. Awareness program was administered and post test was conducted after 7 days using the same tool to find out the effectiveness. Results: The overall mean percentage knowledge score in the pre-test was 41.9% and 80.2% in the post-test. Enhancement mean percentage knowledge scores was found to be 38.3%.The statistical paired‘t’ test indicates that enhancement in the mean percentage knowledge score was found to be significant at 0.05% level for all the aspects under study. This study proved that there was not significant association found between pre test level of knowledge score and their selected demographic variables like age, gender, educational status, experience and Previous knowledge. Hence the research hypothesis H2 is rejected at 0.05% level (P>0.05). The overall findings of the study clearly showed that there is knowledge deficit among staff nurses regarding prevention of CVC infection. The result has proved that awareness program was significantly effective in improving the knowledge of staff Nurses.
