Blood gas studies are concerned with repatriation of the exchange gases between the lungs and blood and between blood and tissues. The term blood gas strictly refers to the measurement of the tension or partial pressure of oxygen, CO2 and the estimation of H+ ion concentration or PH is an integral part of blood gas measurement. performed routinely in hospital inpatient floors and in intensive care units, pulmonary clinics, emergency departments, surgical suites, and pulmonary function laboratories throughout the world3. The measurement of arterial blood gases (ABG) has assumed an increasingly important role in the process of clinical evaluation, and has been widely used during the past three decades4. Title of the study was “A pre-experimental study to assess the effect of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding ABG analysis among staff nurses at selected hospitals of Bhilai (C.G). Objectives of the study was to To assess the level of knowledge regarding ABG analysis among staff nurses before intervention. To evaluate the effect of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding ABG analysis among staff nurses. To associate the pre test knowledge score regarding ABG analysis among staff nurses with their selected socio demographic variables. Methodology adopted for the study was quantitative research approach with a pre-experimental one group pretest and posttest was adopted. In this study, the sample consists of 60 staff nurses who fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the study. The convenience sampling technique was used for this study. Data collection tools consist of 2 parts they are section A: It will be used to assess the demographic data such Age, gender, area of residence, religion, year of experience, educational qualification, previous knowledge, and source of information. section B: Administered self structured questionnaire to assess the existing knowledge of staff nurses regarding ABG analysis. Validity of the tool was established with experts. For the main study A formal written permission was obtained from the authorities to conduct the study. Final data collection was done from Apollo Hospital Nehru Nagar Bhilai (C.G). The investigator first introduced himself to the respondent and explained the purpose of gathering information. convenient sampling technique was used for data collection. On first day half of the subjects were selected to assess the knowledge regarding ABG analysis was assessed.On other day, remaining samples were selected to assess the knowledge regarding ABG analysis. The collected data was tabulated according to various parameters and the complete analysis was done with descriptive and inferential statistics. The study concluded that shows the comparison of overall pretest and posttest of knowledge score.The posttest knowledge mean score (2.8), SD (2.0) is higher than the pretest knowledge mean score is (3.5), SD(0.7) and t value = 7.5 obtained, which is highly significant at P=0.05 so the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. The effectiveness of the structured teaching programme. In pre-test mean percentage knowledge score were 65.2%, and after providing structured teaching programme the post-test mean percentage knowledge score were 78.1%. Considering knowledge, staff nurses were gained 12.9% of more knowledge than pre-test. Hence the difference between of the pre test and post test in overall percentage of knowledge gain was 12.9%.hence STP was effective to improve the knowledge of staff nurses regarding ABG.
