Injection administration is one of the greatest responsibilities of a nurse. It is an integral part of the nurse’s role, therefore the nurses must adapt the principles and techniques of medication administration to render quality nursing care. This study aimed to assess the injection administration practices among staff nurses working in selected hospital and analyzing the practices with current injection administration literature. A quantitative research approach with analytical research design was adopted. 100 staff nurses were selected through non probability convenient sampling technique. Data was collected using observational checklist. Out of 100 staff nurses observed for injection administration, 70 staff nurses administered intravenous injection and 30 staff nurses administered intramuscular injection. The collected data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Study showed that majority of the staff nurses 28 (93.3%) were having good intramuscular injection administration practices and 36 (51.4%) staff nurses had good intravenous injection administration practices. Study also revealed that there is no significant association of intramuscular and intravenous injection administration practices with age, gender, educational qualification, area of work and work experience. Total 43 literatures were referred for analyzing the findings related to practices of intramuscular and intravenous injection administration.Keywords

A quasi experimental study with single group pretest-posttest design was conducted on a total of 50 college going students. Structured Teaching Programme on blood donation was developed. Based on Structured Teaching Programme, a Self Structured Questionnaire was prepared to assess the pretest-posttest knowledge scores of study subjects regarding blood donation. Descriptive and inferential statistical tests were used for data analysis. Findings of the study revealed that the mean posttest knowledge scores (23.78) of subjects regarding blood donation were significantly (p<0.01) higher than their pretest knowledge scores (12.64) after administration of Structured Knowledge Programme. In pre-test, maximum 28 (56%) of subjects has average knowledge scores followed by 19 (38%) which were having poor knowledge scores and 2 (4%) who had very poor knowledge scores. Only 1 (2%) had good knowledge score. None of the subject had very good knowledge score in pretest. After administration of Structured Teaching Programme, the level of post knowledge score of subjects increased as in post-test 24 (48%) of subjects students achieved very good knowledge scores followed by 20 (40%) who had good level of knowledge scores. Only 6 (12%) had average knowledge scores. None of the subjects had poor or very poor level of knowledge scores.
