Background: - Open Reduction and Internal Fixation is one of the greatest scientific advances and remains one of the most challenging and complex fields of modern medicine. Surgical Site Infections are the third most commonly reported nosocomial infections and accounts for 14-16 per cent of all nosocomial infections among hospital inpatients. Surgical Site Infections rate has varied from 25% to 41.9%. In India very few studies has been carried out which indicates an overall infection rate of 4.04 to 30 per cent for clean surgeries and 10.06–45% for clean contaminated surgeries17.A retrospective review of 40 patients at the University of Louisville Hospital with both open and closed tibial plateau fractures treated with external fixation. In this study, 27.5 % of the patients experienced complications, which included superficial infection, deep infection, non-union, arthrosis, operative modification or readjustment of the frame. These results support external fixation as at least as good as internal fixation with regard to infection18. Methods: - A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test were used to Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme on Infection Prevention in Fractured Patients With Open Reduction And Internal Fixation Among Staff Nurses Working In Selected Hospitals. The data was collected from 60 Staff nurse by using a simple random sampling technique. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the analysis. Results: -The mean percentage knowledge score in post-test (90.47%) was higher than the mean percentage knowledge score in pre-test (58.57%). The enhancement mean percentage knowledge score (31.9%) was found to be significant at 5% (P<0.05) level. The findings of the pilot study revealed that the study is feasible. Conclusions: - This study has shown a positive relationship between the planned teaching program and proved to be effective in improving knowledge of the staff nurse regarding infection prevention in fracture patient with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation.
