ABSTRACT Objectives To assess the knowledge of the primigravida before the structured childbirth education program, to assess the knowledge of the primigravida after the structured childbirth education program, to evaluate the effectiveness of structured childbirth education program in terms of gain in knowledge scores and to associate the knowledge scores with selected demographic variables. Methods The quasi-experimental research approach was used for this study with pretest post-test design. The sample size was 60 primigravidae. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used for the selection of samples. Data collection was accomplished by using structured questionnaire with two sections. First, section dealt with baseline data of primigravidae and second, section dealt with knowledge of primigravidae related to labor process. Structured childbirth education program was prepared on childbirth process including all major topics related to labor and its preparation. Results Data were analyzed based on objectives and hypothesis. Data analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Based on the analysis, interpretations were made. During comparison of pretest and the post-test knowledge scores of the samples researcher found, in pretest, majority of the samples 40 (66.66%) got poor knowledge score, whereas in post-test only two samples got poor knowledge score. In pretest 19 (31.66%) got average score, but in post-test majority, i.e. 36 (60%) got average score. In pretest, only single sample got good knowledge score but in post-test 22 (36.66%) samples got good knowledge score and the mean of pretest is very less, i.e. 7.05 with standard deviation (SD) 3.561016 as compared to post-test, where mean is 15.2 with SD 3.590729 ‘t’ calculated value, i.e. 5.096322 is greater than ‘t’ table value, i.e. 2.238152.

Background: Studies evaluating nursing educational initiatives in rapid tranquillisation procedures are lacking. Objective: This pilot study in a public hospital in Singapore evaluated the effect of an educational training intervention on knowledge and confidence of nurses using rapid tranquillisation in two medical wards. Method: The study design was a pilot pre- and post-test single-group design on a voluntary sample of 75 nurses. The educational training intervention comprised of a 60 min interactive presentation followed by a small-group-based case discussion conducted by an advanced nurse practitioner. Knowledge was measured using a ‘test the knowledge’ questionnaire; a Likert scale measured perceived level of confidence. Results: The knowledge score (overall score = 11) was significantly improved from pre-training (average score: 5.1 (standard deviation, 1.3)) to post-training (average score: 8.1 (standard deviation, 1.8)), t = −12.61, p < 0.001. The participants were more confident after training ( p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study has shown that a classroom training intervention of nurses in rapid tranquillisation procedures improved knowledge and confidence in dealing with patient violence in hospitals and added to the safe practice of rapid tranquillisation. Further studies evaluating the long-term and clinical impact of training with more rigorous study designs are needed to replicate these promising findings.
