ABSTRACT

This present study was aimed to assess the knowledge regarding perineal tear during delivery among B.sc nursing 4th year students in selected colleges of Jaipur, Rajasthan, with a view to develop an informational booklet. A quantitative research methodology with a descriptive research design was used. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to select the sample of 70 B.Sc Nursing 4th year students from Govt. College of Nursing, Jaipur. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess both background variables details and knowledge-related questions about perineal tear during delivery. The result showed that, A statistically significant association was identified between knowledge regarding perineal tear during delivery and the background variable (Gender (p < 0.05)) of B.sc Nursing 4th year students, while no associations was observed with other background variables (Age & Delivery Assisted/ Observed). The study revealed a significant gap in knowledge among B.Sc Nursing 4th year students, which can be improve by conducting virtual simulation programs focusing on perineal tear during delivery.
