Abstract

Nursing is regarded one of the oldest arts, despite being one of the youngest professions. Nursing techniques for newer and newest therapies, such as an infant care, pain management, client education and other interventions cannot be possible without fresh understanding. Research studies on current trends and issues in obstetrics and gynaecological nursing improve maternal and foetal health outcome. The study objectives were to assess the knowledge regarding current trends and issues in obstetrics and gynaecological nursing before and after implementation of planned teaching programmed among the students of 3rd year GNM of M.M. Singhi Institute of Nursing, Ahmedabad city. Second objective was to assess effectiveness of planned teaching programmed. And third objective was finding out association between pretest knowledge and post-test knowledge with selected demographic variables. A quasi-experimental design was adopted using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. A total of 30 participants were selected through a non-probability purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings revealed that the mean post-test knowledge score was 26.63, which was notably higher than the mean pre-test score of 17.10, resulting in a mean difference of 9.53. To determine the statistical significance of this difference, a paired t-test was employed, and the results indicated a statistically significant improvement in knowledge following the intervention.
