ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: A catheter inserted into a large vein is called a central venous catheter (CVC), sometimes known as a central venous line. The internal jugular vein in the neck, the subclavian or axillary vein in the chest, the femoral vein in the neck, or veins in the arms (also known as PICC lines or peripherally inserted central catheters) are all possible sites. These are single, double or triple lumen catheters that are 50-60 cm long and end in the chest after insertion into a peripheral vein in the arm. PICC lines are significantly more useful for continuous intravenous usage. They are utilized both inside and outside of hospitals in nearly every department. Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) adequately and safely meet the needs of patients requiring short-term or long-term care in many clinical situations. Chemotherapy as a primary form of treatment, like systemic therapy, requires infusions over a long period of time in multiple cycles. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of demonstration on PICC in terms of knowledge and practice among third year B.Sc. Nursing Students in selected Nursing Colleges, Vadodara, Gujarat. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Pre experimental one group pre- test post-test research design, and a non probability convenience sampling technique was adopted to achieve the goal of the study. The tool consists of two parts. First part consists demographic data of the sample and second part consists of structured knowledge questionnaire. The sample was 30 3rd year B.Sc. Nursing students those were taken from selected nursing colleges of Vadodara, Gujarat. RESULTS: The pretest score of level of knowledge regarding PICC revealed that majority (63.3%) had poor knowledge and (36.7%) had average knowledge, where as in posttest majority (90%) had good knowledge and (10%) had average knowledge. The pretest score of level of practice regarding PICC revealed that majority of third year B.Sc. Nursing Students (53.3%) had poor practice and (46.7%) had moderate practice where as in posttest majority (83.3%) had good practice and (16.7%) had moderate practice. CONCLUSION: According to the calculation of both pre-test and post test score it indicates that there was improvement in knowledge level among 3rd year B.Sc. Nursing students. Hence it indicates that the demonstration was effective. Keywords: Demonstration, Effectiveness, Nursing Students, PICC, Assess, Knowledge
