INTRODUCTION:
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), also known as electroshock, is a psychiatric treatment in which seizure are induced by passing electricity through the brain of an anesthetized patient ECT was introduced as a treatment for schizophrenia in the 1930s, and then become treatment for a wide range of psychiatric disorders.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been a safe and effective treatment option for many years now for major psychiatric disorders, including major depression, bipolar affective disorder, and schizophrenia. Today, ECT has evolved into a modern procedure with a benign side effect profile, which is performed under anesthesia and the administration of muscle relaxants. Despite this, negative view of ECT is held not only by the general lay public but also by the medical professionals including nurses. Good amount of research from both developed and developing countries has assessed the knowledge about ECT among patients and their relatives, and evidence is suggestive of patients receiving ECT being poorly informed about it. In contrast to studies on knowledge and attitude toward ECT in patients and their relatives, the data pertaining to different health-care professionals including medical students, nurses and nursing students, physicians, psychologists, and social workers from developing countries are very limited.
Nursing students are going to be future nurses, and owing to the close involvement of nurses with the patients both pre- and post-ECT, the knowledge on ECT of nurses who work in ECT room can have direct impact not only on their quality of nursing practice but also on the patients' and their relatives' knowledge about ECT. There are studies which suggest that nurses and nursing students have a significant poor knowledge about ECT when compared to medical students. Negative attitude of nurses toward ECT is likely to be reflected negatively in their practice as well. Research suggests that nurses who have poor knowledge about ECT express boredom, apathy, and hostility toward patients who undergo ECT. Further, research also suggests that educating them with brief lectures, educational videotapes, familiarizing with the equipment used for ECT, and observing the ECT procedure can improve the poor knowledge. To understand the baseline knowledge of ECT among nurses and to plan modes to address their poor knowledge and negative attitude, the best suited group to assess would be nursing students who have not witnessed ECT treatment in patients and who have not been to psychiatry rotation before. For this, we aimed to assess the knowledge about ECT in nursing students.3
BACKGROUND OF STUDY:
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) involves the induction of a grand mal seizure through the passage of an electrical current to the patient brain with the aim of improving the patient mental status under anesthesia and muscle relaxant. There is no solid based clarification for the mechanism of action and how the ECT works but the most credibility goes to the biochemical theory. ECT was first introduced into psychiatry more than seven decades back 1938 in Rome by an Italian neuropathologist and psychiatrist Ugo Cerletti ECT is widely prescribed worldwide and first indicated in the emergency treatment of severe depression with suicide or psychosis medication-resistant schizophrenia" Effectiveness of ECT in the treatment of depression was established in 1941. The introduction of psychopharmacology in the 1970s and 1980 reduced the use of ECT in the treatment of mental illnesses Modified and non-modified ECT are the two forms of the treatment, modification comes in the form of sing anesthesia together with muscle relaxant in limit the intensity of coin and reduce its side effects as bone and teeth fractures, muscular and tendon damage Most of the internationally established guidelines recommended the modified ECT in the last decade as the slandered routine treatment “Unilateral treatment is prescribed for some patient instead of bilateral treatment to overcome the most frequently occurring side effects as temporary memory loss, mental confusion and headache, while permanent cognitive impairment.4
Today's nursing students are tomorrow's nurses who will be closely working and taking care of the patients. The nature of nursing profession requires nurses to spend more hours with the patients than all other health care professionals and considering the valuable and essential musing interventions provided to the patients undergoing ECT prior, during and after the treatment session, therefore, manses' knowledge and attitudes towards ECT will impact their patients knowledge and attitudes towards ECT Literature review reveals several studies exploring nurses knowledge and attitudes towards PET It has been suggested that there is a positive relationship between years of clinical experience and knowledge of mental health professionals regarding ECT and their attitudes towards ECT, while poor contact with ECT during students training was connected to poor knowledge and more negative attitudes.6
Because of the dramatic increase of the nursing student enrolled in any nursing schools and the inadequate patients' number undergoing ECT that limit every student chance to attend a live ECT treatment session, alternative educational materials have been introduced to inform students about ECT as lectures, pamphlets and real and simulated video scenes. However, the literature a paucity of published studies concerning knowledge and attitudes towards ECT on the Saudi Arabian national level.
The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of educational experiences on the knowledge and attitudes towards ECT among nursing students.
NEED FOR THE STUDY:
Man is in search of knowledge since time immemorial. Knowledge is all that information. While gathering knowledge about particular thing, he develops attitude towards it simultaneously. Some scholars and researcher attempted to explore white and tide towards electroconvulsive therapy.
Electro convulsive therapy (CT) is a safe and efficacious treatment; there is a widespread negative view of electro convulsive therapy in public and professional circles. Decades of clinical experience and research have resulted in continued improvements to the efficacy and safety of electro convulsive therapy.
Electroconvulsive therapy is one of the commonly used treatment modalities for patients with severe mental disorders. However, acceptance of ECT by the patient and relatives often depends on how the health-care professionals themselves present the treatment modality to the patients and their relatives. There is a lack of information about the knowledge on ECT among health professionals. The objectives were to evaluate the knowledge about and attitude toward ECT among nursing students. Methodology Knowledge of and attitudes toward ECT among nursing students were assessed using ECT knowledge questionnaires. The Results showed that, the study included 183 nursing students. Majority (n = 62; 60.8%) of the participants obtained information about ECT from media (movies, television, print media, etc.). None of the students had full knowledge about ECT. Although a significant proportion of students had knowledge about the ECT procedure and consent procedure, majority of them had poor knowledge about the effectiveness, mechanism of action, indications, and side effects of ECT. Negative attitudes were also highly prevalent, with more than two-thirds of the participants having negative attitudes toward ECT on more than half of the attitude items of the scale. Total knowledge score positively correlated with total attitude score, suggesting that higher knowledge was associated with more positive attitude. Conclusions Although nursing students have knowledge about basic ECT procedure and consent, they lack knowledge about the effectiveness, mechanism of action, indications, and side effects of ECT. Negative attitude toward ECT is also highly prevalent among nursing students. Accordingly, there is a need to improve the knowledge of nursing students, which may ultimately lead to better acceptance of the treatment.8
A study was conducted at Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, USA. This study examined the stability of patients' attitudes toward electroconvulsive therapy. The survey responses were highly significantly correlated and not significantly different, which suggests that attitudes toward ICT are stable during this time Electro convulsive therapy was first described by Cerletti & Bini in 1938 as treatment for schizophrenia. Electroconvulsive therapy demonstrated that it is much more effective as a treatment for affective disturbance.
Nursing students play an essential role in ECT, because of their close involvement with patient before and after the procedure. The knowledge of the nursing students working in ECT room can have direct impact on the quality of their nursing practice so, there is a need to improve the knowledge regarding ECT among nursing students.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
Written literature reviews are the critical summaries of what is known about a particular topic. The review serves as an integrative function and facilitates the accumulation of knowledge. Hence, review of literature is important to a research in order to know what has been established and documented. Review of literature is important for having a broad understanding of problem. The material gathered in the literature review should be treated as an integral part of research data. Since what is found in the literature can not only have an influence which is important in the formalities of the problem and the design of research, but also provides useful comparative material when the data collected in the research is analyzed.
The literature review is presented in this chapter under the following headings:
· Reviews of literature related to electroconvulsive therapy.
· Reviews of literature related to effectiveness of planned teaching on knowledge regarding electroconvulsive therapy.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on knowledge about and attitude toward ECT in nursing students. The objective was the study to assess the knowledge about and attitude toward ECT in nursing students. in which knowledge about ECT and attitude toward this treatment was assessed in nursing students using ECT knowledge and attitude questionnaires. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. A total sample consist of 54 3rd-year nursing students was included in the study. More than half (59.3%) reported the primary source of information as media. None of our students had full knowledge about ECT, i.e., score of 31. The mean knowledge score was 16.22 ± 3.36, with a range of 10–21. They were more knowledgeable about the consent, side effects, and procedure part of the questionnaire compared to indications and effectiveness parts of it. Negative attitude toward ECT was highly prevalent. The mean score on attitude questionnaire was −7.5 ± 3.61, with a range of 0 to −12. More than three-quarters of our students had negative attitude in 12 out of 16 items. Total score on knowledge questionnaire and total score on attitude questionnaire were correlated positively (rs= 0.442, P < 0.001). There is a deficiency in knowledge and highly prevalent negative attitude toward ECT among nursing students which needs to be rectified so that ECT becomes a more acceptable treatment procedure.
A study was conducted on effectiveness of structured teaching program on knowledge regarding ECT among nursing students in college of nursing, CMC Hospital, Ludhiana, Punjab. A quasi experimental two group pretest and posttest design was considered to be appropriate, purposive sampling technique was used by inclusion/ exclusion criteria. The sample size was 60 students of GNM III Year. The study concluded, in experimental group majority of nursing students had below average knowledge in pretest and had excellent knowledge regarding ECT in posttest.
A study was conducted on knowledge about and attitude towards Electroconvulsive Therapy among nursing students. The questionnaire method is used to assess the knowledge of and attitudes towards ECT among nursing students. The sample size Was 183 students. Majority (60.8%) of the participants obtained information about ECT from media. None of the students had full knowledge about ECT. Although nursing students have Knowledge about basic ECT procedure and consent. The study concluded that the students have lack of knowledge about the effectiveness, mechanism of action, indication, and side effects of ECT. Negative attitude towards ECT is also highly prevalent among nursing students.
A study was conducted on ECT; effect of an educational experience on nursing students knowledge and attitudes. A quasi experimental research design was used to conduct the study. The Sample size was 97 female nursing students. As a result no. statistically significant differences in the mean knowledge or attitude scores between students who have past experience and who do not have past experience with a person with diagnosis of mental health problem.
