BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Radiation is the process in which energy emitted as particles or waves. The use of medical radiation for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes continues to increase worldwide and the incidence of radiation hazards from prolonged exposure to radiation also increases these days. It is necessary to make aware on the hazards of radiation exposure. This study was conducted to assess the pre and post interventional level of knowledge, evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme and find out an association between the pre-test knowledge score on hazards of radiation exposure with selected demographic variables in selected hospitals of Udupi District, Karnataka METHOD Pre-experimental one group Pre and Post-test design was adopted for this study. The study was conducted at selected hospitals (Chinmay hospital and Manish hospital) in Kundapur, Udupi District, Karnataka. Fifty staff nurses in the respective hospitals were selected as samples by using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected by demographic proforma and structured knowledge questionnaire. Data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: The results showed that there is significant difference in mean pre-test and post-test scores. the mean post-test knowledge score (25.1±2.8) was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (13.3±4.7). The t test was computed to compare the significant difference between pre-test and post- test knowledge score. The calculated t value (t =17.6, p < 0.05) was greater than table value (t 49 = 1.68) at 0.05 level of significance. P value was 0.00 which is |
