This pilot study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention in enhancing the knowledge and quality of care of staff nurses managing patients on mechanical ventilation. Twenty staff nurses from a hospital in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, were divided into an experimental group (n=10) and a control group (n=10). The educational package provided covered critical aspects of ventilator care, focusing on both theoretical and practical competencies. Pretest and posttest assessments were conducted using structured knowledge and skill questionnaires. Results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in both knowledge and quality of care in the experimental group post-intervention. This suggests that such educational packages have promising potential to enhance nursing competencies and improve patient outcomes in critical care settings.
