Brief Summary  

Introduction: Heart failure, often known as congestive heart failure or congestive cardiac failure, is a common, expensive, debilitating, and potentially fatal condition that arises when the heart is unable to produce enough pump action to sustain blood flow to meet the body’s needs. An integral part of managing cardiovascular risk is leading a healthy lifestyle.

Need of the study: Surgical site infections in cardiac surgery remain a significant medical problem due to the deteriorated postoperative quality of life, increased mortality, more extended hospital stays, and increased treatment costs.

Aim: The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of self-instructional modules on knowledge regarding the prevention of surgical site infection among post-operative cardiac patients.

Material and Methods: The study Design will be a Quasi-Experimental Research Design (One Group Pre-Test, Post-Test Research Design). 136 sample size will be selected by using the purposive sampling technique, and non-probability will be applied. The two years of the study were spent in the A.V.B.R.H. Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha, Maharashtra, India. A structured questionnaire based on the knowledge will be used to assess the effectiveness of the self-instructional module on the prevention of surgical site infection. The tools will consist of - Section I: Demographical data like age, gender, family income, occupation, education, stay in the hospital after surgery, and the type of cardiac surgery. Section II: Structured knowledge questionnaire on the prevention of surgical site infection among post-operative cardiac patients. Section III- It consists of self-instructional modules regarding the prevention of surgical site infection among post-operative cardiac patients. Section IV- Association of post-test knowledge scores with their selected demographic variables.

To meet the study’s objectives, the data gathered from the participants will be categorized and analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. One-way ANOVA will be applied to statistically evaluate the association of demographic variables with the level of knowledge regarding the prevention of surgical site infection. And for pre- and post-test evaluation of the participants, a paired t-test will be used.
