Abstract

A study was conducted to assess the knowledge and practice of staff nurses working in intensive care units regarding nursing care of patients on mechanical ventilator in selected hospitals of Rajasthan. The descriptive approach was adopted; purposive sampling was used to select a sample of 60 staff nurses working in ICU. The tool developed and used for data collection was structured knowledge questionnaire and an observational checklist. It was found that among 60 subjects, 73.67% had average knowledge and 67.97% had average practice score. There was significant association between the Knowledge and selected demographic variable such as age and educational qualifications and between practice and ICU working experience. There was no significant association between knowledge and some demographic variable as gender, clinical experience and between practice and remaining demographic variable as age, gender, educational qualification and clinical experience. There was positive correlation 0.49 between the level of Knowledge and Practice.
