Efficacy of imogine King's interacting system and theory of goal attainment-based structured teaching programme to improve knowledge regarding the prevention of neonatal hypothermia

Nursing as a scientific field, is based on professional expertise. To develop advancement in nursing practices and skills, continuous acquisition of knowledge is advocated. The application of nursing theories to impart new knowledge in the nursing profession plays an important role in the research. The objective of the current study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding the prevention of neonatal hypothermia among nurses. Methods- The framework preferred for the study is the Imogine Kings interacting system and the Goal Attainment model. This model focuses on the interpersonal relationship between the client and the nurse, and this interaction is influenced by the perception of both the client and the nurses. This interaction leads to mutual goal setting that is to be subjected by the participants and then transaction to attain the goal. Result and Conclusion-The application of Imogine King's interacting system and goal attainment model served as the incentive for the selection of the conceptual framework where the interaction takes place between the investigator and the client for the achievement of the goal. The King’s interacting system and goal attainment model were relevant to the present study. It focuses on the interpersonal relationship between the investigator and the client and the interaction between the two leads to mutual goal setting which ultimately contributes to the attainment of the goal in the end.
