Abstract :
Stroke is the most common life–threatening neurological disorder and the most important leading cause of disability in the world. Disability affects 75% of stroke survivors enough to decrease their employability. Constraintinduced movement therapy (CIMT) is a form of rehabilitation therapy that improves upper extremity function in stroke and other central nervous system damage victims by increasing the use of their affected upper limb. A quasi experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme (STP) on knowledge regarding Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) for stroke patient among 60 staff nurses working in selected hospitals, Bangalore. A purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample of the study. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to collect data from the subjects. RESULTS: In the pretest, the subjects had inadequate knowledge with a mean percentage of 40.1 % and a standard deviation of 10.6% whereas in the posttest, there was a significant mean knowledge gain of 80.7 % and a standard deviation of 9.7%. In pretest, a significant association was found between age group (χ 2 = 7.08*), gender (χ 2 = 6.43*), qualification (χ 2 = 6.67*) and the mean pretest knowledge scores at 0.05 level of significance. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that the structured teaching programme was effective in enhancing the knowledge of the staff nurses working in selected hospitals regarding Constraint induced movement therapy
