Abstract

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common device related infections in ICUs and although with advanced intervention strategies yet it is associated with high mortality rate. Prevention of VAP is vital while caring for mechanically ventilated patient. The nurse's role in prevention of VAP is extremely significant as they are the primary care givers and provide constant care to the critically ill patient. The research was conducted to evaluate the impact of structured teaching program on ICU nurses regarding prevention of ventilator associated pneumonia. The main objectives of the research study were to assess ICU nurses knowledge about prevention of VAP, to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on prevention of VAP among ICU nurses and to determine the association among ICU nurses knowledge regarding prevention of VAP with their selected demographic variable. Method: An evaluative research model was used without any control group using pre- experimental design, with purposive sampling technique with one group pre-test and post-test. 60 Registered ICU Nurses were participated in study and evaluated using semi- structured knowledge questionnaire. STP was implemented, using same tool 7 days later post-test was conducted. Results: Overall, pretest knowledge scores on prevention of VAP was found to be 49.8% and the overall posttest knowledge scores were recorded as 74.4% thereby 24.6% of enhancement in the mean percentage knowledge score was found which is significant at with P<0.001 level. Also significant association between knowledge scores & selected demographic variables were found with age (χ² 28.01), marital status (χ² 37.51), income (χ² 36.11), professional educational qualification (χ² 24.75), clinical experience (χ² 37.98), knowledge about VAP (χ² 38.5) and source of information on VAP (χ² 16.93) and no association found with gender. Conclusion: The study concluded that knowledge deficiency persist among staff nurses regarding prevention of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia and STP shows efficiency in improving their knowledge.
