INTRODUCTION: Mechanical ventilation has become the most commonly used mode of life support in medicine today. Mechanical ventilation is life saving, but like other interventions, it is not without complications. Physiologic complications associated with mechanical ventilation include ventilator induced lung injury, cardiovascular compromise gastrointestinal disturbances, pneumothorax and the most importantly ventilator associated pneumonia. Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are at risk for dying not only from their critical illness but also from secondary process such as nosocomial infection. Hospital Acquired Pneumonia is the second most common nosocomial infection in critically ill patient’s affecting 27% of all critically ill patients. Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is a form of nosocomial pneumonia that occurs in patients receiving mechanical ventilation within 48 hours of intubation.AIM: The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge and practice regarding ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) critical care bundle among nursing students.MATERIAL AND METHODS: The conceptual framework of the study was based on Health Belief Model. A quantitative research approach with descriptive design was adopted for the study. Non probability convenience sampling technique was used and 150 samples from selected colleges were selected. The data was collected by using Sociodemographic variables, self structured questionnaire regarding ventilator and checklist was prepared. RESULTS: The study finding were as (75%) respondents has excellent knowledge, 22% had good knowledge, 3% had average and no one had poor knowledge regarding Ventilator Associative Pneumonia (VAP). Practice score of study shows that 73% of study subjects had Good practice, 25% had excellent practice, 2% had average practice and no one had poor practice regarding ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) critical care bundle among nursing students. It shows that there is significant association between knowledge score and practice score with gender, there is no significant association between the level of knowledge and practice score regarding VAP with other demographic variablesCONCLUSION: The present study was undertaken to evaluate knowledge and practice regarding Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) critical care bundle among nursing students. The study revealed that nursing students had excellent knowledge and good practice regarding Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) critical care bundle.
