ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Planned Rajyoga Training programme on personal and professional preparedness for pandemic management among staff nurses. Health care professionals, particularly staff nurses, are frequently forced to go above and beyond their regular day-to-day roles and responsibilities in pandemic or pandemic-like scenarios. They may also have to do these jobs in a stressful atmosphere. Their efficiency and efficacy will increase, as well as the quality of their own care, if they are ready for such uncertain times in the future. The Rajyoga Training Program has demonstrated a significant impact on overcoming unconscious anxieties, fears, mental strains, etc., as well as on professional and personal readiness. As a result, the researcher intends to carry out a quasi-experimental study to evaluate the impact of the Planned Rajyoga Training Programme on staff nurses' level of personal and professional preparation. The sample size for the current study's sample was 60, and it was acquired using a non-probability convenient sampling technique. The effectiveness of the planned Rajyoga training programme on staff nurses' personal and professional preparedness was evaluated using a self-structured personal and professional preparedness scale instrument. Statistics for both inference and descriptive purposes will be used during the analysis. Findings showed that the posttest level of personal and professional preparedness for pandemic management in experimental group; 73.3% were having high preparedness and 26.7% were having moderate preparedness. On the other hand, in control group, 76.7% were having moderate preparedness and 23.3% were having low preparedness about pandemic management. The study concluded that as per their posttest, in experimental group, the mean score of preparedness was 66.83±9.72. In control group; the mean score of preparedness was 40.7±8.30. The mean difference was 26.13 Here independent t test was applied to find out statistically significant difference. As result found t58=11.197, p=0.001 which indicate highly significant at 0.01 level. Hence The null hypothesis is rejected and alternate hypothesis is accepted. The study concluded that planned Rajyoga training programme is effective to enhance the personal and professional preparedness of pandemic management.
