Abstract

Arterial Blood Gases interpretation are considered as one of the significant investigations in the critical care areas that guides in appropriate direction to make better decision for diagnosis, treatment and expected outcome of the concerned disorders. Nurses are considered as the primary care providers in critical care units therefore their knowledge regarding ABGs interpretation and analysis may play a vital role in the management of the seriously ill patient admitted with respiratory, cardiovascular, acid base disorder and renal disease. The main intention of the study was to appraise the Effectiveness of the Instructional Module on Knowledge and Interpretation of ABGs among Critical Care Nurses. A quantitative quasi-experimental study design was used with a sample of 30 CCN by census method from Ayub Teaching hospital Abbottabad. Data was collected through a reliable and validated questionnaire before and after assigning with the instructional module. Data was analyzed by SPSS-22. The study result showed that the pretest knowledge score of the critical care nurses in the pre stage intervention was 53.3% which was poor on the grading scale. Overall mean score was found as 51.9963+26.54 in the pre assessment phase while 74.6333+15.98 was reported in the post phase of giving the instructional module with a mean significant difference of 22.63+39.50. Statistically the instructional module was found effective in enhancing the nurse’s knowledge with a –value of 0.004. The findings of the study depict that instructional module has a positive and significant association with the level knowledge of nurses regarding ABGs interpretation.
