Abstract
Nurses in clinical specialties are expected to have an adequate knowledge on care of the patients with cardiac arrhythmias by using proper analysis of ECG and to inform the physician to make diagnosis to initiate an immediate care. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge regarding care of the patients with cardiac arrhythmias among the cardiac nurses in selected hospitals of Bathinda and also to rule out the association of nurse’s knowledge in respect to the demographic variables. A total of 50 cardiac nurses were randomly chosen from selected hospitals of Bathinda District. Convenient sampling method was selected for choosing the samples. A valid questionnaire was used to gather the data. The study showed that the 20% of the nurses had poor knowledge, 60% had an average knowledge and 20% of them had a good knowledge regarding the care of the patients with cardiac arrhythmias. There is a statistical significance between the mean knowledge score and the demographic variables such as qualification and period of experience. But at the same time have no association with age, gender and exposure to in service education.
