ABSTRACT:
A planned teaching program was carried out to assess the B.Sc nursing 3rd year student of selected college of nursing Satna (M.P.). To evaluate knowledge regarding biomedical waste management. The sample consist of 40 B.Sc nursing 3rd year student in Nishad College of Nursing and Allied Science Satna (M.P.). The objectives were achieved through the findings .The finding showed the demographic variable has a significant description of pre-test score average 34(85%), good 6(15%), excellent 0(0%) and post test knowledge score average 0 (0%), good 15(38%), excellent 25(62%) regarding biomedical waste management among B.Scnursing 3rd year student.The knowledge score were obtained pre test knowledge score mean is 21.07 and standard deviation 3.08 and post test knowledge score mean is 30.65 and standard deviation 2.96 shows gaining of knowledge by planned teaching program. It was summarized after study finding the socio demographic variable greatly affect the knowledge of B.Sc nursing 3rdyear student regarding biomedicalwaste management.
KEYWORDS: Biomedical, Waste, Management.
INTRODUCTION:
Hospital is an Institution for the Care, Cure and Treatment of the Sick and Wounded, for the Study of the Disease, and for the Training of the Doctors and Nurses. Hospital waste poses a serious public health problem it is essential for proper management. Hospital wastes including all types of generated by health care establishment, research facilities and laboratories. There are various estimates regarding hazardous and non-hazardous constituents of health care waste according to world health organization (WHO) related reports and studies, around 85% of hospital waste are non-hazardous, 10% are infection (biologically hazardous),
and the remaining 5% are toxic chemicals, pharmaceutical, and radioactive waste. According to a study done in Banglore; there revealed a significant positive correlation between knowledge and practice. A better intervention from the side of Government can still make a hike in existing knowledge and practices thus making the health team members as well as the population safe.
Hospital waste management means the management of waste produced by hospital using techniques that will check the spread of disease through hospital waste. Hospital waste includes all type of waste generated by health care establishments. Waste disposal problem is growing with an ever increasing number of hospitals, clinics and diagnostic laboratories. Infection control is a major component in health care practices.
BIO-MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT:
Any waste generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals or in research activities.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY:
· To evaluate how much student nurses know about the biomedical waste management.
· To impart knowledge to student nurse regarding biomedical waste management.
· To reduce the occurrence of infections arising due to lack of knowledge.
· To enhance the level of well being of the patients.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY:
· To acknowledge the pre-test scores of student nurses regarding knowledge of biomedical waste management.
· To find out post test scores of student nurses regarding the knowledge of biomedical waste management.
· To assess the effectiveness of planned teaching program.
· To find out co-relation between pre-test and post test knowledge of student nurses scores regarding biomedical waste management.
The conceptual framework for the present study is based on the system model (Roy’s Adaptation Model) for evaluation of nurses knowledge regarding bio- medical waste management.
METHODS AND METHODOLOGIES:
The objective of the methodology section is to promulgate to readers what the researcher did, to solve the research problem or to answer the research question. This section deals with the major methodological decision and after offers rationales for those decisions.
RESEARCH APPROACH:
Keeping in view the need to see the effectiveness of program and the objective of the study “EVALUATIVE RESEARCH APPROARCH” was found to be most appropriate.
