Does a teaching programme about PMS improve nursing students' knowledge?
A structured teaching programme had a statistically significant effect on nursing students' knowledge about PMS. However, the study's results are confusing because it reported no significant difference between student groups at pre-test or post-test.
What they did
Quasi-experimental study. 50 nursing students aged 19-21 at a nursing college in Punjab. A structured teaching programme about PMS and its management was delivered, and knowledge was measured before and after.
What they found
The difference in pre-test knowledge scores between control and experimental groups was not statistically significant. Post-test knowledge also showed no significant difference between groups. However, the study concluded there was a statistically significant effect of the teaching programme on students' knowledge.
What it means for you
The results of this study are unclear and appear contradictory. The study included only nursing students aged 19-21 at one college, which limits whether results apply more broadly. The confusing results make it difficult to know if this teaching approach actually works.
