Abstract
nIntroduction: Over the past decade, nurses’ roles have expanded, encompassing expertise, autonomy, and accountability from legal and ethical perspectives. Understanding healthcare legal aspects is crucial for high-quality practice, as nurses deal with human events like birth, death, and suffering. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of state-level workshop on nursing ethics and legalities knowledge among nursing officers at KIMS Hospital Bengaluru. Method: The study utilized a quasi-experimental design with a single-group pre-test–post-test approach, employing non-probability purposive sampling to select 60 nursing officers. A structured knowledge questionnaire was employed as the assessment technique, and the research took place at KIMS Hospital Bengaluru. Results: The findings indicate that before the intervention, 70% of participants demonstrated insufficient knowledge, while 30% exhibited moderate knowledge; none had adequate knowledge. After the intervention, 80% of respondents displayed adequate knowledge, and 20% showed moderate knowledge in relation to legal aspects in nursing. The post-test mean knowledge score of 15.80 ± 1.71 surpasses the pre-test mean knowledge score of 8.70 ± 1.50, reflecting a significant difference of 7.10. Conclusion: The state-level workshop increased the knowledge of nursing officers about the nursing ethics and legalities.
