Abstract
Nurse-patient ratio influence many patient outcomes most markedly in hospital mortality. The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of computer assisted instruction on knowledge regarding standard norms of nurse-patient ratio among B. Sc. Nursing students of selected nursing college at Bhopal (M.P.). An experimental design was chosen with pre test and post test of experimental and control group. The sample size was 60 B. Sc. Nursing IV Year students divided into two groups at 30 in experimental and 30 in control group. The tools used for conducting the study included demographic data self structured questionnaire to assess knowledge of experimental and control group. The experimental group was given computer assisted instruction as an intervention and the control group was used for comparison only without interventions. The data were analyzed with statistics and unpaired t-test was done. The study clearly shows that there was a significant knowledge of students in experimental group with computer assisted instruction in knowledge regarding standard norms of nurse-to-patient ratio.
