Abstract:
Introduction: Taking a look at how well-informed KIMSD nursing students are about the coronavirus can provide light on how people in the area currently think and act, which in turn can lead to a better understanding of the factors that encourage the adoption of healthy habits. Aims: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a planned education programme on nursing students’ understanding, attitudes, and behaviour toward the newly discovered coronavirus. 1) One goal is to determine how well KINS students understand and apply information they learn about COVID-19. 2) Assess the impact of the COVID-19 education programme on student learning, attitudes, and behaviour at the undergraduate level. Material and Method: The study’s methodology relied on an evaluative research strategy. The study employs a one-group pre-post test design. Ninety samples were used in the analysis. The research was done at the Krishna Institute of Nursing. The method of sampling utilised here is the random sampling method. A knowledge, attitude, and practise questionnaire was used to gather the information. The KAP lesson for COVID-19 was presented to the students following the pre-test, as was originally scheduled. Result: One-fifth of the students in the survey were between the ages of 17 and 18, while the remaining 62% were between the ages of 18 and 19. Additionally, 74% of the students were female, 64% were Hindu, 64% were from Maharashtra, and 44% got their news from the media. On average, students scored 11 (with a standard deviation of 5.3) on the pretest, and 18.8 (with a standard deviation of 4.79) on the post-test. The mean attitude score was 6.03 (SD = 2.86) on the pre-test and 9.01 (SD = 2.36) on the post-test. The average practise score was 6.27 (with a standard deviation of 2.35) on the pretest, and 10.26 (with a standard deviation of 2.35) on the posttest. There was no statistically significant correlation between nursing students’ knowledge, attitude, and practise with respect to the new coronavirus and a variety of demographic factors. Knowledge, as measured by the post-test, increased by t = 10.88, P 0.0001; attitude, by t = 7.62, P 0.0001; and practise, by t = 11.38, P 0.0001, indicating that the proposed instruction programme was effective. Conclusion: We conclude that the knowledge, attitudes, and practises of nursing students before and after the implementation of a structured training programme are statistically different. Nursing students can benefit from a more informed perspective on COVID-19 after participating in a well-planned education programme.
