ABSTRACT

Partograph is one of the best used tool for monitoring mothers in labour with the aim of reducing maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. WHO recommends use of Partograph by all obstetric care providers. GNM Interns would be future staff nurses who will attend the normal delivery cases during their clinical practice. Correct and consistent use of Partograph by staff nurses will help in early diagnosis and treatment of any deviation from the normal course of labour which ultimately will help in reducing maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching program on partograph among GNM Interns expressed in selected Nursing Institutes of District Ropar Punjab. A Quantitative Approach with one group pre-test and post- test Quasi Experimental Design was used for this study. The sample consisted of 50 GNM interns in selected Nursing Institutes of District Ropar. The sample was chosen by convenient sampling technique. The data was collected by using structured knowledge questionnaire. Data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study results revealed that 25 (50%) of the GNM Interns had poor knowledge, 20 (40%) of GNM Interns had average, 4 (8%) had good knowledge and 1 (2%) had very poor level of knowledge in the Pre-test. Therefore, the structured teaching program is effective in increasing the knowledge level of GNM Interns. It is concluded from the study that there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test knowledge. Therefore, the structured teaching program was effective in increasing the knowledge level of GNM Interns regarding Partograph.
