Knowledge assessment of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy among student nurses of selected nursing college
Description
Introduction:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is psychotherapy. This therapy is used to treat the psychological trauma among people and also any negative life experiences individual possess. It also extends help to patients and their family members and support system.
Objective:
To describe the socio demographic characteristics of student nurses of selected nursing colleges. To assess knowledge on the eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy among student nurses to determine the association of knowledge with selected demographic variables.
Methods:
Study used quantitative non experimental descriptive research design and sample size used for the study was 100 student nurses. Non-probability onvenience sampling technique was adopted. Selected nursing colleges were used as setting for the study. A Self-administered structured knowledge questionnaire was used. The socio demographic characteristics of the sample which included age, gender, name of the nursing Programme, year, Religion and attended any workshop/training programme on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy. Self-administered structured knowledge questionnaire encompassed of thirty multiple choice questions. Each correct response was allocated with one mark and wrong response with zero. Tool reliability was calculated using cronbach’s alpha method which was 0.901. After obtaining the consent form from each respondents, the tool was administered to selected participants
Result:
Majority of respondents have poor knowledge ( 84% ) , good knowledge (02%) and (14%) respondents had average knowledge . Since p-values of age is large (greater than 0.05), it is evident that age shows significant association with knowledge and none of the demographic variable was established to have significant association with knowledge of the student nurses
Conclusion:
Students nurses had considerable poor knowledge regarding Eye Movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy. It is fairly new non-traditional approach though there is requirement in the enhancement in knowledge is greatly required on Eye Movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy.
