It is well known that nursing theories are invaluable in providing the framework for the assessment of health problems and development of nursing care plan. Therefore in the present study authors aim to examine the Roy adaptation theory as a basis for the development of nursing assessment tool for the assessment of cardiac patients. Authors found the congruence between the concepts of cardiac nursing and Roy adaptation theory after in-depth review. Therefore this assessment tool was developed based on the concepts of Roy adaptation theory, in which the health problems of patients in all four modes and the relevant stimuli can be identified.Keywords

Objectives: To assess the knowledge and attitude of nurses for tuberculosis, MDR, RNTCP. To see co-relation between knowledge and attitude.
Methods: A pre-experimental research approach was used. Study was taken on 30 nurses working in various government hospitals of Delhi. Tools used for data collection were structured knowledge questionnaire and "Likert Scale for Attitude". . Tools were validated for content and reliability was established before data collection. Data was collected. Training was imparted. Post Test after training was also administered
Finding: Mean knowledge score in pretest was 21.60 for a total of 50 question and maximum score of 50. Mean knowledge score in post test was 31.73. This difference was statistically significant at 95% confidence interval. Attitude score improved little toward positive attitude and was statistically significant at marginal level (P value = .052). This pilot study found positive relationship between knowledge and attitude. (r=.309).
