A Study To Assess The Effectiveness Of Planned Teaching Programme On Knowledge And Practice Regarding Intravenous Therapy Among Paediatric Staff Nurse.

Intravenous therapy is a critical aspect of pediatric nursing care, with implications for patient safety and healthcare outcomes. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a planned teaching programme on intravenous therapy knowledge and practice among pediatric staff nurses. The study employed a primary research design with a sample size of 100 pediatric nurses selected through random sampling techniques. The teaching programme focused on knowledge enhancement, practice improvement, confidence boost, and compliance with protocols related to intravenous therapy. Data were collected through questionnaires administered before and after the programme, and statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of the intervention. The findings revealed a strong relationship between the planned teaching programme and the effectiveness of intravenous therapy among pediatric staff nurses. Regression analysis demonstrated significant improvements in nurses' knowledge levels, practical skills, and confidence following the programme. Notably, compliance with protocols emerged as a significant predictor of the programme's effectiveness, highlighting the importance of adherence to established guidelines in pediatric intravenous therapy. These findings underscore the critical role of educational interventions in enhancing pediatric nurses' competence and ensuring optimal patient care outcomes. In conclusion, the planned teaching programme effectively improved intravenous therapy knowledge and practice among pediatric staff nurses. By addressing knowledge gaps, enhancing practical skills, and promoting adherence to protocols, the programme contributed to patient safety and quality of care in pediatric settings. These findings underscore the importance of ongoing education and training initiatives to maintain and enhance nursing competence in intravenous therapy. Future research could explore additional factors influencing the effectiveness of educational interventions and strategies to sustain long-term improvements in pediatric intravenous therapy practices.
