ABSTRACT

The study was intended to assess the effectiveness of planned demonstration on knowledge and practice about triangular bandaging in first aid management among 3rd year Bsc nursing students of selected nursing colleges of Vadodara city. A quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test and experimental group design was selected and 50 students were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using 15 Structured questionnaires to assess knowledge and 30 Planned demonstration checklist questionnaires to assess practice Results indicated 14% of students have inadequate knowledge, 68% have moderately adequate knowledge and 18% have adequate knowledge. Students had an average knowledge score of approximately 2.04, which significantly improved to around 2.80 after the demonstration. Students had an average practice score of 1.0000, which significantly increased to 2.3400 after the intervention. The participants' knowledge of triangular bandaging does not appear to be significantly influenced by their age, living area, residential facility, gender, duration of practice in the hospital, or whether they have received training regarding bandaging.
