| Summary: | The nurses play the vital role in performing pre, intra and post treatment care, providing education and support to the patient and their family members. Nurses need to have a comprehensive knowledge and skill to carry on with this role. The students are taught these care through different teaching methods. Present study was conducted with the aim to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching module on nursing care of electroconvulsive therapy for the GNM students.
A quasi experimental design was adopted for the study. The sample consisted of 64 GNM nursing students; 32 in each experimental and control group. A structured questionnaire and checklist was used to collect data. The structured teaching module was administered to the experimental group and the control group had received the usual exposure teaching in the hospital. There was a significant positive change in knowledge score (‘t’=15.892, p=0.00) followed by the structured teaching module in the experimental group. There was no significant change in knowledge score of control group (‘t’=1.625, p=0.275) followed by the usual exposure teaching. The result also showed that the experimental group had higher skill in providing care for patients undergoing ECT than the control group. The results revealed that the structured teaching module was effective to improve the knowledge and skill of the student nurses. The structured module can also be used as the guide line to provide nursing care for ECT and also to teach the student nurses. |
