Effectiveness of planned nursing intervention on prevention of occupational health hazards among spinning mill workers

A quantitative, evaluative research approach was carried to assess the effectiveness of planned nursing intervention on prevention of occupational health hazards among spinning mill workers in terms of knowledge and practice. 30 samples were selected by adopting non-convenient sampling technique. Structured interview schedule and checklist was used to assess the knowledge and practice respectively. Planned Nursing Intervention was effective as evidenced by increased in the mean percentage score of post test knowledge and post test practice. Planned nursing intervention includes meaning, definition, types, incidence, cause, risk factor, sign and symptoms, diagnosis, medical and nursing management. The findings showed that the post-test mean percentage score of knowledge and practice is higher than the pre-test mean percentage score. There was significant association between the mean pretest practice score on prevention of occupational health hazards among samples with their selected demographic variables (age, educational status). Hence the Planned Nursing Intervention was effective on occupational health hazards in terms of knowledge and practice was increased after the intervention.
