Pooja Bhatta, Beena Chacko, Dr. Bhavani B.B.*

ABSTRACT

Background: Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in the deep veins in the body. A deep vein thrombosis can break loose and cause a serious problem in the lung, called a pulmonary embolism. Sitting for a long time, certain medicines and disorders that increase risk for blood clots can lead to deep vein thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis can be very dangerous and is consider as a medical emergency. Thromboprophylaxis consists of pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures to diminish the risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Pharmacological prophylaxis includes Anticoagulants such as unfractioned heparin (UFH), Low- molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and warfarin, or antiplatelet agents, particularly acetylsalicylic acid, Enoxapirin or clexane. Non- pharmacological prophylaxis includes Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) and Venous foot pump and Graduated compression stockings (Elastic stocking or anti-embolism stocking). Subjects: The participants were 60 staff nurses from a hospital, in, Bangalore. Method: Pre-experimental, one group pre -test and post-test design was selected for the study. 60 staff nurses were selected by non- probability purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire to evaluate knowledge of staff nurses. Analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: In the current study majority 40% of the nurses had inadequate knowledge before teaching intervention, 60% had moderate knowledge. After the intervention more than 80% nurses had adequate knowledge on thromboprophylaxis. There was statistically significant improvement in knowledge of nurses regarding thromboprophylaxis after the teaching program. developed structured teaching programme increased the knowledge of nurses. Conclusion: The study findings indicate that STP was effective in enhancing the knowledge of staff nurses regarding thromboprophylaxis.
