ABSTRACT
Aim: to assess the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on knowledge regarding Bio-Medical Waste Management among G.N.M. Students in selected School of Nursing.
Objectives :(i) To assess the pre and post test level of knowledge regarding Biomedical Waste Management among GNM students. (ii) To assess the Effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding biomedical waste management among GNM students. (iii) To find out the association between the post test level of knowledge score of GNM students with their selected socio demographic variables.
Methodology: A Pre experimental one group pre and post test research design was carried out in this study.60 samples were selected by using non probability purposive sampling technique. The pre and post test level of knowledge was assessed by using structured knowledge questionnaires.
Results: The findings of the study shows that in level of knowledge, pre test mean was 7.0 with the standard deviation of 2.9and the post test mean was 12.5 with the standard deviation of 5.5. The knowledge ‘T’ value is 3.27. The paired t test value shows that there was statistical significance between pre and post test knowledge at p<0.001 level.
Conclusion: The study concluded that structured teaching programme had been highly effective in improving the knowledge among GNM students regarding Biomedical waste management.
