A Pre-Experimental Study to Assess the Effectiveness of a Workshop on Overcoming Cancer Threat: Nursing Perspective
Journal Title: International Journal of Nursing & Midwifery Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
A quantitative-pre-experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of an educational workshop on cancer threat among registered nurses working in different nursing educational institutions in Delhi. A five-day workshop was organized at Jamia Hamdard, which included various aspects of cancer care including the global scenario, management, prevalence, and palliative care. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of the sample in the pre-test and post-test group. The study found out that there was an increase in the mean post-test knowledge score and, therefore, the educational workshop was effective in increasing the knowledge of the sample. The format of such educational interventions may be applicable in promoting cancer awareness and early-detection screenings
