Objective: To assess the pre-test knowledge regarding the VAP bundle on critical care unit staff nurses at selected hospital. To assess the post-test knowledge about VAP bundle on critical care unit staff nurses at selected hospital. To assess the association between pre-test and post-test knowledge about VAP bundle. Materials and methods: Quasi experimental study where pre-experimental design (one group pre-test post-test design) was undertaken. The data were collected from30 critical care unit staff nurses with more than 1 year of Experience by purposive sampling technique based on sample selection criteria. The semi structured interview20 questions on Knowledge of VAP Bundle. Results: Major findings of the study were 36.67% are 11 males and 63.33% are 19 females. 40% are B.Sc. nursing staff, 3% are Post Basic BSc nursing staff, 47% are GNM staff and 10% are ANM qualified staff.

The pre-test mean was 10.16 and post-test mean was 15.56. The calculated t value is 10.01 and the degree of freedom was much higher than the tabulated value at 2.04 level of significance that is Highly Significant. hence, it was statistically interpreted that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted which states that H1: there is a significant difference in pre-test and post-test knowledge among critical care unit Staff nurses regarding VAP Bundle.
