Abstract Background: Organophosphorus (OP) poisoning is a major public health concern in developing countries and requires prompt and effective management. Nurses play a crucial role in early recognition and emergency care; however, knowledge gaps may affect optimal patient outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding the management of organophosphorus poisoning among undergraduate nursing students.
Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted among 60 B.Sc. Nursing students selected through convenient sampling from a nursing institution in India. Baseline knowledge was assessed using a validated structured questionnaire. Following the pre-test, a structured teaching programme on organophosphorus poisoning management was delivered. Post-test assessment was conducted using the same tool. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 29.0. Descriptive statistics summarized demographic variables and knowledge scores, and a paired t-test was applied to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.
Results: Pre-test findings revealed that 38% of students had poor knowledge, 33% had average knowledge, and 29% had good knowledge, with none demonstrating very good knowledge. The mean pre-test score was 13.83 (SD = 0.67). Post-intervention, no participant remained in the poor category; 43% achieved good knowledge and 30% attained very good knowledge. The mean post-test score increased to 17.95 (SD = 2.77), with a mean difference of 4.12. The improvement was statistically highly significant (t = 13.37, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The structured teaching programme significantly improved nursing students’ knowledge regarding the management of organophosphorus poisoning. Incorporating structured educational interventions into nursing curricula may enhance preparedness for toxicological emergencies.
