A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme On Thermoregulation of Neonates in Terms of Knowledge and Practice among Staff nurses Working in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(N.I.C.U) of Selected Hospitals. Objectives- To assess the knowledge before and after administration of Planned teaching programme regarding thermoregulation of neonates among staff nurses working in N.I.C.U of Selected Hospitals in Madhya Pradesh state” To assess the practice before and after administration of Planned teaching programme regarding thermoregulation of neonates among staff nurses working in N.I.C.U of Selected Hospitals in Madhya Pradesh state” To find out the association of pre-test knowledge of staff nurses on thermoregulation of neonates with selected socio demographic variables. To find out the association of pre-test practice score with selected socio demographic variables.To evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding thermoregulation of neonates among staff nurses. Results- Quantitative research approach was employed to assess the impact of a Planned Teaching Programme on neonatal thermoregulation knowledge and practice among staff nurses in Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The study was conducted across six government hospitals in Madhya Pradesh, each equipped with Neonatal Intensive Care Units. A sample of 50 staff nurses was selected using a non-probability convenient sampling method. These findings shed light on the effectiveness of educational interventions in enhancing neonatal care practices, highlighting the importance of continuous professional development in healthcare settings. Conclusion- The analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics, unveiling significant results. Most samples were aged 21-30, predominantly female, GNM qualified, with 1-4 years' NICU experience; many had neonatal care training. Pre-test knowledge mean was 12.2, rising to 16.46 post-test, a significant difference (t = 12.88, p < 0.05). Practice scores improved significantly post-program, from 8.94 to 11.46, a mean difference of 2.52 (t = 8.85, p < 0.05). Associations were significant between pre-test knowledge and qualification, and pre-test practice and attendance at neonatal care workshops or training (χ² > critical value, p < 0.05). These findings emphasize the program's efficacy in enhancing neonatal care knowledge and practice.
