ABSTRACT:
Background: Medical waste states to all waste produced in healthcare or in diagnostic activities and classify medical waste into two type of medical waste which include municipal or general waste which occupy 75% to 90 % of total waste produced in healthcare facilities and special waste which occupy the rest of 10 to 20% of hospital wastes. The knowledge of healthcare providers is very important to the best practice of waste management this help them, community, and environment to be safe from hazardous. Aim of study: This study aimed to evaluate effectiveness of Bio-medical waste management training program on knowledge level regarding BMW management among nursing student of selected nursing college in Uttar Pradesh. Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was adopted to conduct this study. 120 nursing students were recruited from selected nursing college in U.P. Structured knowledge questionnaire on bio medical waste management was used to evaluate the knowledge of the participants. SPSS v.21 was used to analyze the finding of the study. Paired t-test will be used to compare the pre-test and post-test knowledge mean score. Independent t-test will be used to compare the pre-test and post-test knowledge mean score between control and experimental group. Results: Mean knowledge score of the participants of the experimental group at baseline was 12.17±0.57, immediately after intervention was 20.00±0.50 and follow up was 19.85±0.59 while mean knowledge score of the participants of the experimental group at baseline was 12.12±0.46, immediately after intervention was 12.23±0.66 and follow up was 19.85±0.59. In experimental group 78.3% increased their knowledge level to adequate level while 21.7% had moderately adequate knowledge level immediately after intervention and in follow up 55% had adequate knowledge level and 45% had moderately adequate knowledge level. There was statistical difference between experimental and control group post-test 1 immediately after STP administration with t value 7.04 at p<0.001 and post-test 2(follow up test) with t value 6.01 at p<0.001. Conclusion: Structured teaching program on Bio-medical waste management was effective. Training program should be organized regularly for nursing students to update their knowledge regarding Bio medical waste management and to improve their skills.
