ABSTRACT:
Platelets are parts of the blood that help the blood clot. They are smaller than red or white blood cells. The study intend to assess the existing knowledge regarding platelet transfusion among 3rd year Basic Bsc nursing students. An evaluative approach with one group pre-test post-test design was used for the study. Convenient sampling technique was used to draw 50 nursing students as the sample. Data was collected by administering a structured knowledge questionnaire on platelets transfusion. After collecting the data, computer assisted teaching programme was administered to the subjects on the same day and on 7th day; post-test was conducted using the same questionnaire. The results showed that the mean post-test knowledge score (78.8%) was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (38.2%). The calculated ‘t’ value (20.80*) was higher than the table value (t49=1.96). This shows that the computer assisted teaching programme was effective improving the knowledge of nursing students on platelets transfusion. There was significant association between the knowledge score and the selected demographic variable in pre-test for the variables Gender (6.81*), Age group (years) (6.81*), Place of Residence (4.63*) and Previous knowledge on Nurses responsibility (5.35*) and in post-test variables Religion (6.45*), Place of Residence (7.03*), Previous knowledge on Nurses responsibility (6.40*) and Assisted Platelets transfusion (6.45*) were more than the table value at 0.05 level of significance.
