Abstract

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding or Menometrorrhagia at any stage in a woman’s life can be both disruptive and concerning. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Colour Doppler Transvaginal Ultrasonography in identifying intrauterine pathologies in patients experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding. Abnormal uterine bleeding represents one of the most prevalent issues faced by gynaecologists. Almost every woman will encounter instances of bleeding at some stage in her life that may be regarded as abnormal. An accurate diagnosis is crucial due to the potential consequences of bleeding and the ramifications of the treatment. Aims: To evaluate the knowledge about role of colour Doppler & Transvaginal ultrasound during menometrorrhagia among staff nurses, and to determine the association between knowledge level among staff nurses with selected demographic variables. Materials and Methods: The methodology employed in the current study was descriptive in nature, for evaluating the knowledge structured questionnaire and observational checklist were used, numbers of subjects were 30, sampling technique of the present study is purposive sampling. Results: Graph 6: Revealed that majority of the respondents obtained average score that is about 10 (33.3%), and SD is 5.3. more or less similar respondents obtained very good score that is about 8 (26.6%), and SD will be 4.8, more or less similar respondents obtained good score that is about 8 (26.6%), and SD will be 4.9, less similar respondents perceived poor score that is about 4 (13.3%), and SD will be 2.6 and very less respondents obtained very poor score is about 1 (3.3%). Conclusion: The researcher concluded that, majority of the respondents obtained (11-15) score that is about 10 (33.3%), and SD is 5.3. more or less similar respondents obtained (21-25) score that is about 8 (26.6%), and SD will be 4.8, more or less similar respondents obtained (16-20) score that is about 8 (26.6%), and SD will be 4.9, less similar respondents obtained (6-10) score that is about 4 (13.3%), and SD will be 2.6 and very less respondents obtained (0-5) score is about 1 (3.3%)
