Abstract

Introduction: Intravenous cannulization is a fundamental skill for staff nurses, crucial for effective patient care and treatment delivery. Despite its importance, variations in technique and knowledge gaps can impact patient outcomes and safety. This study addresses this need by developing a structured educational program specifically designed to improve the knowledge and practical skills of nursing staff in intravenous cannulization. Objectives of the study were: a) To assess the knowledge of staff nurses regarding intravenous cannulization; b) To assess the staff nurse’s practice regarding intravenous cannulization; c) To develop a planned teaching programme and demonstration on intravenous cannulization; and d) To assess the effectiveness of the planned teaching programme and demonstration on knowledge and practice. Method: The research method chosen for this study was a quantitative research approach. A pre-experimental one-group post-test research design was used; and selected 42 staff nurses by the convenient sampling technique in the selected Hospital, New Delhi; self-structured knowledge questionnaire, and practice observation checklist was used. Result: The mean pre-test knowledge scores of staff nurses on intravenous cannulisation is 22.90. The standard deviation is 4.230. The mean post-test knowledge score is 30.714. The standard deviation is 3.33, which indicates that there was a significant gain in the knowledge of staff nurses on intravenous cannulization. The mean post-test practice score (39.84) was higher than the mean pre-test practice score (21.56). The mean difference (18.28) is statistically significant, as evidenced by a ‘z’ value of 7.77 (p<0.05). The 'z' value of 7.77 exceeds the critical value of 2.0 at the 0.05 level of significance, demonstrating that the planned teaching program was effective in enhancing the staff nurses' knowledge of intravenous cannulization.
