Effectiveness of Self-Instructional Module on Airway Management Modalities among Staff Nurses

The study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of self-instructional module (SIM) on airway management modalities among 60 staff nurses in down town hospital, Guwahati, Assam. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was used for selection of sample. Pre-test was administered by using structured knowledge questionnaire on airway management and self-instructional module (SIM) was given on the same day after completion of pre-test. On the eight day post-test was conducted using knowledge questionnaire. The findings revealed that the mean of post-test knowledge score (23.70) obtained by the staff nurses was higher than the mean of pre-test knowledge score (17.25). There was significant difference between the mean post-test and pre-test knowledge score (t₅₉=12.66, p<0.05). There was no association between the pre-test knowledge scores and selected variables at the level of p<0.05.
