Abstract: Background: According to the NFHS-4 report the perinatal and neonatal mortality in India was 36 per 1,000 childbirths and 29.5 per 1,000 live births and 16 per 1,000 births in urban areas to 28 per 1,000 births in rural areas. The majority 80% of fetal deaths occur in the antepartum period due to fetal hypoxia/distress. About 40% of neonatal deaths occur on the 1st day of life, almost half within 3 days, and nearly three-fourths in the 1st week these can be prevented by monitoring fetal wellbeing during pregnancy.
Aims: To assess the knowledge regarding selected biophysical measures of fetal wellbeing among GNM internees in selected schools of nursing at Hassan.
Methods: An evaluative one-group pretest and posttest pre-experimental design. With the purposive sampling technique, 50 samples were selected from the Mangala School of Nursing and the NDRK School of Nursing at Hassan. Data was collected by using the structured knowledge questionnaire with 46 items. The reliability of the tool was found to be 0.94. Computer-assisted Teaching Programme was implemented and a post-test was conducted after 7 days to find the effectiveness of the data analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques.
Results: Regarding the effectiveness of CATP, the overall mean percentage of pre-test knowledge score was 30% and 79.7% in the post-test with the enhancement of 49.5% and it was significant at the 5% level. Analysis of socio-demographic variables showed a significant association between family income with post-test knowledge scores at a 5% level (p>0.05).
Interpretation and conclusion: Overall findings showed that pre-test knowledge scores were found to be 30% and after CATP, knowledge of GNM internees was enhanced by 49.5% of selected Biophysical measures of fetal wellbeing. Hence the result has proved that CATP was effective in improving the knowledge of GNM internees on selected Biophysical measures of fetal wellbeing.
