ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Mucormycosis, a rare, potentially deadly infection, is caused by the fungus of the order Mucorales. But when it does occur, it is well remembered by those who have cared for the afflicted patient because of the speed with which it can progress. It has certainly earned the designation of the most acutely fatal fungal infection known to man. Mucormycosis is best known for its rhino-cerebral presentation even though it can infect the lungs, central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, skin etc.
AIM: This study aims to assess the level of knowledge on Mucormycosis among nursing students at SAAII College of medical sciences and technology Kanpur.
METHODOLOGY: A pre-experimental study was adopted to assess the level of knowledge on Mucormycosis among nursing students using a non-probability consecutive sampling technique and one group pretest-post test design.The study included 60 B.Sc.Nursing students from selected nursing Nursing college, SAAII College of medical science and technology Kanpur; using structured teachimg programme.
RESULTS: The analysis of study revealed that majority of the student were in age group >22 years. 60 B.Sc.Nursing students did not previously attended the CNE and had no knowledge on Mucormycosis, majority of students did not attended any patient of Mucormycosis.53(88.33%) had average knowledge, 7(11.77%) had good knowledge, 0% had excellent knowledge in pretest which increased to 50(83.33%)gained excellent knowledge score; 10(16.66%) had good knowledge score in post test after intervention. . Mean ± SD was 15.04 with 3.78, mean % was 60.16. There was association between age, year of study with level of knowledge and no association between religion, age, sex, educational qualification, previously attended any training or CNE regarding Mucormycosis, previous knowledge regarding Mucormycosis, Observed any patient of Mucormycosis with level of knowledge.
CONCLUSION: from the study it was concluded that the most majority of samples improved knowledge regarding Mucormycosis after structured teaching programme.The pre-test statistics of the study revealed that there was average knowledge about Mucormycosis among B.Sc.Nursing students, which indicated the need for structured teaching programme which increased the knowledge regarding Mucormycosis , which is justified with increase in knowledge score in post-test.
