Abstract :

Nipah virus is communicable disease that transmits via person–to–person direct contact and regularly reported in Bangladesh and India. This is most commonly seen in the family and caregivers of Nipah virus–infected patients. A quantitative pre–experimental experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Nurse Led Intervention on knowledge regarding prevention from nipah virus, 80 B.Sc. Nursing 4th year students were selected as sample by using non probability purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through structured knowledge questionnaire before and after administration of Nurse led Intervention in form of structured teaching programme. Results showed the mean pre interventional knowledge is 3.63 (SD±2.28) and post interventional knowledge 9.26 (SD ±3.83), hence the null hypothesis H01 is rejected, hence the research hypothesis HA1 is accepted that states the mean post–interventional knowledge is higher than the mean pre–interventional knowledge regarding prevention from nipah virus among B.Sc. Nursing 4th year students at selected nursing college, Indore and paired t test value 13.82 (df=79) reveals that nurse led intervention is highly effective to increase the knowledge in organized manner.
