CS-Compartment Syndrome, STP - Structured Teaching Programme
Abstract
This study assessed the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on nurses' knowledge of compartment syndrome and its prevention in a selected Chennai hospital. Using a structured questionnaire, knowledge levels of 60 staff nurses, selected through nonprobability convenient sampling, were evaluated before and after the intervention. Pre-test results showed that 78.33% had inadequate knowledge, 20% had moderate knowledge, and only 1.67% had adequate knowledge. Post-test results, conducted one week after the programme, revealed significant improvement, with 73.33% demonstrating adequate knowledge and 26.67% moderate knowledge. The mean knowledge score increased from 10.03±3.63 to 19.28±2.74, with a mean difference of 9.25 (37% improvement). A paired ttest (t=18.132, p<0.001) confirmed statistical significance, highlighting the structured teaching programme as an effective method for enhancing nurses' knowledge of compartment syndrome and its prevention
