Abstract
Nursing students have difficulty in interpreting the ECG rhythms. The current classroom environment often lacks application and practice opportunities, and as a result, students struggle with identification of ECG rhythms at the patient’s bedside. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching program on knowledge regarding ECG interpretation in early detection of cardiac arrhythmias among the student nurses at selected nursing colleges, Bathinda. The objective of the study was to assess the pre and post interventional knowledge scores and to evaluate the effectiveness of the planned teaching program. And also to determine the association between the socio-demographic variables and knowledge level of the student nurses regarding ECG interpretation in early detection of cardiac arrhythmias. One group pre test post test experimental design was selected for the study. The participants were 50 student nurses from selected nursing institutions, Bathinda. A non probability convenient sampling technique was used to select the sample for the study. A structured interview schedule is used to collect data from the subjects. The obtained data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and interpreted in terms of objectives and hypothesis of the study. The results of the study concluded that planned teaching program had a great impact in enhancing the knowledge of the student nurses regarding ECG interpretation in early detection of cardiac arrhythmias
