Abstract

 

Background: Administration of immunosuppressive medications or immunosuppressant’s is the main method of deliberately
induced immunosuppression in optimal circumstances; immunosuppressive drugs are targeted only at any hyperactive component
of the immune system. People with previous cancer who require immunosuppressions are not more likely to have a recurrence,
throughout its history, radiation therapy has been used to decrease the strength of the immune system.
Objectives: To assess the pre-test knowledge regarding nursing care of patient with immunosuppressive therapy, and to associate
the post-test knowledge score with selected demographic variable.
Methodology: a pre experimental one group pre test post test design was adopted for the study. It was conducted over 60 staff
nurses and was selected by using non probability convenient sampling technique. Pre test was done using self structured
questionnaire for knowledge. After pre test the researcher administered self instructional module regarding knowledge. Post test
was done after seven days and analysis showed that there was significant increase in knowledge after administering selfinstructional module. The analysis reveals that post test mean knowledge score was higher 23.15 with SD of 2.76 when compared
with the pre test mean knowledge score value which was 12.70 with SD of 2.88. The calculated‘t’ value 28.77 is greater than
table value 2.00 at 0.05 level of significance. Hence it is statistically interpreted that the self instructional module on knowledge
regarding nursing care of patient with immunosuppressive therapy was effective. Thus the H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected.
Conclusion: The significantly association was found on knowledge score with age (in years), marital status, area of working and
none of the other demographic variables were associated with knowledge score.
Keywords: Immunosuppressive Therapy; Staff Nurse; Self Instructional Module, Knowledge.
