Abstract

Newly joined nurses have a positive attitude to the challenges of being a new nurse. The initial period as a nurse was tough and it requires quite a lot of time to adapt to the new clinical setting. Induction training programme is specifically developed to welcome nurses commencing initial employment or to new nursing roles. A pre experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the Nursing Induction training program upon selected nursing interventions among newly joined nurses at selected hospitals, Chennai. Fifty two newly joined nurses were selected using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using demographic variable proforma and structured knowledge questionnaire on selected nursing interventions through self administration method. Rating scale was used to assess the level of satisfaction of nurses regarding nursing induction-training programme. Nursing induction-training program (Hospital Orientation Program for new Entries- HOPE) was conducted for 30 days. Results revealed that the obtained post test mean value (57.1/70) was higher than the pre test mean value (28.5/70) which was significant (p<0.001). Hence, the induction-training program for nurses was effective in improving their knowledge on selected nursing interventions.
